The ExAllocateCacheAwareRundownProtection routine allocates a cache-friendly rundown protection structure for multi-processor scenarios. Rundown protection is a synchronization mechanism that allows for the safe cleanup of resources that might be accessed by multiple threads.
PoolType [in]The type of pool memory to allocate. For a description of the available pool memory types, see POOL_TYPE.
PoolTag [in]A ULONG that specifies the pool tag for the memory allocation. The pool tag is a 32-bit value that is used to track memory usage.
Returns a pointer to an opaque EX_RUNDOWN_REF_CACHE_AWARE structure or NULL if allocation fails.
A driver can call ExAllocateCacheAwareRundownProtection as an alternative to calling ExSizeOfRundownProtectionCacheAware followed by ExInitializeRundownProtectionCacheAware.
