PsGetPermanentSiloContext function (ntddk.h)

This routine retrieves an object that was inserted in the Silo without incrementing the reference count.

  [in] PESILO Silo,
  [in] ULONG  ContextSlot,
       PVOID  *ReturnedSiloContext
);

Parameters

[in] Silo

The silo in which the object was inserted. This parameter is required and it cannot be NULL.

[in] ContextSlot

The read-only slot that was previously allocated byPsAllocSiloContextSlot and made read-only by PsMakeSiloContextPermanent.

ReturnedSiloContext

A pointer to a caller-allocated variable that receives the address of the existing object. This parameter is required and it cannot be NULL.

Return value

The following NT status codes are returned.

A successful call to PsGetPermanentSiloContext does not increment the reference count on the object that the ReturnedSiloContext parameter points to. The returned object pointer is valid as long as there is a valid reference on the silo object.
