SpinLockRelease rule (storport)

  • Article

This rule verifies that the driver does not attempt to release a lock via KeReleaseSpinLock without first acquiring it via KeAquireSpinlock or KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc. The rule passes when the acquired spin lock is released.

Driver model: Storport

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the SpinLockRelease rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
