CcFastCopyWrite function

Description

The CcFastCopyWrite routine performs a fast copy write from a buffer in memory to a cached file.

Parameters

FileObject [in]

Pointer to a file object for the cached file to which the data is to be written.

FileOffset [in]

Pointer to a variable that specifies the starting byte offset within the cached file.

Length [in]

Length in bytes of the data to be written.

Buffer [in]

Pointer to the buffer from which the data is to be copied.

Remarks

CcFastCopyWrite is a faster version of CcCopyWrite. It differs from CcCopyWrite in the following respects:

• FileOffset is a ULONG, not a PLARGE_INTEGER.

• There is no Wait parameter. The caller must be able to enter a wait state until all the data has been copied.

• CcFastCopyWrite does not return a BOOLEAN to indicate whether the write operation was successful.

If the required pages of the cached file are already resident in memory, the data is copied immediately and no blocking occurs. If any needed pages are not resident, the caller is put in a wait state until all required pages have been made resident and the data can be copied.

If any failure occurs, CcFastCopyWrite raises a status exception for that particular failure. For example, if a pool allocation failure occurs, CcFastCopyWrite raises a STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES exception; if an I/O error occurs, CcFastCopyWrite raises the status exception of the I/O error. Therefore, to gain control if a failure occurs, the driver should wrap the call to CcFastCopyWrite in a try-except or try-finally statement.

To cache a file, use CcInitializeCacheMap.
