FltCbdqInsertIo function

Description

FltCbdqInsertIo inserts the callback data structure for an I/O operation into a filter driver's callback data queue.

Parameters

Cbdq [in, out]

Pointer to the caller's cancel-safe callback data queue. This queue must have been initialized by calling FltCbdqInitialize.

Cbd [in]

Pointer to the callback data (FLT_CALLBACK_DATA) structure for the I/O operation to be queued. The operation must be an IRP-based I/O operation.

Context [in, optional]

Caller-supplied variable that receives an opaque context pointer for the I/O request. Filter drivers can use this pointer to identify a specific item in the queue so that it can be removed by calling FltCbdqRemoveIo. If the filter driver is not required to remove particular I/O requests from the queue, this parameter can be NULL.

InsertContext [in, optional]

Context pointer to be passed to the filter driver's CbdqInsertIo callback routine.

Return value

FltCbdqInsertIo returns STATUS_SUCCESS when the callback data structure was inserted into the callback data queue, or an appropriate NTSTATUS value such as the following:

[!NOTE] In the case of success, FltCbdqInsertIo returns whatever the filter's InsertIo callback returns; for example, a filter might return either STATUS_SUCCESS or STATUS_PENDING to indicate success. It is important that the filter be self-consistent on whichever value it uses to indicate success.

Remarks

FltCbdqInsertIo inserts the specified callback data (FLT_CALLBACK_DATA) structure into a filter driver's callback data queue.

• Note that there is a potential race condition between a filter driver inserting the callback data, and the associated IRP being cancelled. This can be avoided by immediately invoking the queue's cancellation routine if the IRP has already been cancelled.

Filter drivers can use the FltCbdqXxx routines to implement a callback data queue for IRP-based I/O operations. By using these routines, filter drivers can make their queues cancel-safe; the system transparently handles I/O cancellation for the filter drivers.

The FltCbdqXxx routines can only be used for IRP-based I/O operations. To determine whether a given callback data structure represents an IRP-based I/O operation, use the FLT_IS_IRP_OPERATION macro.

A callback data queue is initialized by calling FltCbdqInitialize. FltCbdqInsertIo uses the functions provided in the queue's dispatch table to lock the queue and insert the callback data structure into the queue. The insert operation itself is performed by the queue's CbdqInsertIo routine.

See FltCbdqInitialize for details on how to create a callback data queue. Use FltCbdqRemoveIo to remove a particular I/O request from the queue, or FltCbdqRemoveNextIo to remove the next available I/O request.

If the queue is protected by a spin lock rather than a mutex object or resource variable, the caller of FltCbdqInsertIo can be running at IRQL <= DISPATCH_LEVEL. If a mutex or resource is used, the caller must be running at IRQL <= APC_LEVEL.
