DF - PNP Rebalance Request New Resources Device Test (Reliability)

  • Article

As with the removal test, the test application attempts to add an upper filter to the target device stack and then restart the device stack by using SetupDiCallClassInstaller with DIF_PROPERTYCHANGE. If this attempt is not successful (that is, if someone on the target device stack failed the query-remove IRP), the test restarts the computer to test rebalance.

This test initiates a rebalance and also manipulates the resource requirement of the device to maximize the chances that actually new resources are allocated to the device. This option also helps a device with no resources to actually go through the complete rebalance procedure:

  1. First the simple rebalance is started, causing the following IRPs:

    • IRP_MN_QUERY_STOP_DEVICE (assuming this IRP is passed by all the drivers. The test already covered the case where this IRP is failed.)

    • IRP_MN_QUERY_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS

    • IRP_MN_FILTER_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS. In response to this IRP, while going up, filter driver takes action based on whether the device consumes any resources or not:

      • If the device has no resource requirement, filter assigns a fake resource.
      • If the device has a resource requirement, it tries to restructure the resource requirement list in such a way that maximizes the probability of changing the current assignment. For example, if a device needs 2 bytes of memory anywhere between 00 to FF and currently is assigned 3A-3B, modify such that the new resource requirement (in order of preference) looks like 00-39 or 3C-FF or 3A-3B. Similarly if the device resource requirement list has any alternate requirements, it will change their order so the alternate requirement comes earlier in the list.

  2. Now the device should always complete the rebalance procedure.

    IRP_MN_STOP_DEVICE

    IRP_MN_START_DEVICE (The new allocated resources. If fake requirements were created, mask the new resources from the actual drivers.)

  • Test method: PNPTryStopDeviceRequestNewResourcesAndRestartDevice

The Disable Enhanced Device Testing (EDT) Support test uninstalls the test filter driver (msdmfilt.sys) as an upper filter on devices specified using the DQ parameter. This test filter gets installed as part of running tests in this test category

Parameters

Parameter name Parameter description
DQ A WDTF SDEL query that is used to identify the target device(s) - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=232678
Wpa2PskAesSsid Required ONLY if DUT or one of its child devices is a WiFi adapter. Please provide SSID of a WPA2 AES WiFi network that the test can use to test the WiFi adapter. The default is 'kitstestssid'.
Wpa2PskPassword Required ONLY if DUT or one of its child devices is a WiFi adapter. Please provide password of the WPA2 AES WiFi network specified using the Wpa2PskAesSsid parameter. The default is 'password'.
WDTFREMOTESYSTEM Required ONLY if DUT or one of its child devices is a wired NIC that doesn't have an IPv6 gateway address. If determined to be required, please provide an IPv6 address that the test NIC can ping to test network I/O. Eg: fe80::78b6:810:9c12:46cd
