Re: A filter driver with bus enumeration capabilities: aka serenum.

Yes, it is possible, but with one caveat. Since your filter is not the power policy owner for the stack, it cannot ensure that when the child is powered up that the parent stack is also powered up....BUT...for serial that does not really matter b/c once you send the create to the serial stack from the child stack, serial will stay powered on until it has been closed.

1) mark yourself as a filter, WdfFdoInitSetFilter
2) create a WDFCHILDLIST, you cannot use the built in FDO child list since you are not the PPO, by calling WdfChildListCreate
3) mark a description id as present and you now have a child

The kbfiltr example in the wdk shows how to do exactly this, it is an upper filter which enumerates a raw PDO

A filter driver with bus enumeration capabilities: aka serenum.

I need to write a custom serial enumerator that can discover custom devices
on the serial port.
In the past I've written this based on serenum, and it works. But, now I
want to convert it to KMDF based on Toaster Bus. How can a driver be a
complete pass thru filter (for all i/o, create/close, power, pnp) and
enumerate childeren at the same time?

thanks in advance,
