FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks function (ntifs.h)

  • Article

File system filter drivers and file systems call the FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks routine to register notification callback routines to be invoked when the underlying file system performs certain operations.

Syntax

NTSTATUS FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks(
  [in] _DRIVER_OBJECT       *FilterDriverObject,
  [in] PFS_FILTER_CALLBACKS Callbacks
);

Parameters

[in] FilterDriverObject

A pointer to the driver object for the filter or file system driver.

[in] Callbacks

Pointer to a FS_FILTER_CALLBACKS structure that contains the entry points of caller-supplied notification callback routines. All of the callback entry points are optional and can be set to NULL.

Return value

The FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks routine can return one of the following status values:

Return code Description
STATUS_SUCCESS The callback routines were successfully registered.
STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks encountered a pool allocation failure when allocating memory to store the callback information.
STATUS_FSFILTER_OP_COMPLETED_SUCCESSFULLY FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks successfully completed an FsFilter operation.
STATUS_FILE_LOCKED_WITH_ONLY_READERS The file was locked and all users of the file can only read.
STATUS_FILE_LOCKED_WITH_WRITERS The file was locked and at least one user of the file can write
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER One of the parameters is invalid.

Remarks

File system and file system filter drivers should call FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks from the driver's DriverEntry routine.

FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks registers the notification callback routines that were specified in the Callbacks parameter to be invoked when requests for certain file operations are sent to the underlying file system.

File systems call FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks to set the PreAcquireForSectionSynchronization callback member of the FS_FILTER_CALLBACKS structure instead of using the obsolete AcquireFileForNtCreateSection.

The callback routines registered by FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks supersede the following fast I/O callback routines, which are obsolete and should not be used by file system filter drivers:

  • AcquireForCcFlush
  • AcquireFileForNtCreateSection
  • AcquireForModWrite
  • ReleaseForCcFlush
  • ReleaseFileForNtCreateSection
  • ReleaseForModWrite
