WdfIoQueueFindRequest function (wdfio.h)

[Applies to KMDF and UMDF]

The WdfIoQueueFindRequest method locates the next request in an I/O queue, or the next request that matches specified criteria, but does not grant ownership of the request to the driver.

Syntax

NTSTATUS WdfIoQueueFindRequest(
  [in]           WDFQUEUE                Queue,
  [in, optional] WDFREQUEST              FoundRequest,
  [in, optional] WDFFILEOBJECT           FileObject,
  [in, out]      PWDF_REQUEST_PARAMETERS Parameters,
  [out]          WDFREQUEST              *OutRequest
);

Parameters

[in] Queue

A handle to a framework queue object.

[in, optional] FoundRequest

A request object handle that the driver received from a previous call to WdfIoQueueFindRequest. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

[in, optional] FileObject

A handle to a framework file object. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

[in, out] Parameters

A pointer to a driver-allocated WDF_REQUEST_PARAMETERS structure that receives parameters that are associated with the found request. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

[out] OutRequest

A pointer to a location that receives a handle to the found request. If no match is found, the location receives NULL.

Return value

WdfIoQueueFindRequest returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this method might return one of the following values:

Return code Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
The driver supplies an invalid handle.
STATUS_NOT_FOUND
The request that is identified by the FoundRequest parameter cannot be found in the I/O queue.
STATUS_NO_MORE_ENTRIES
The framework reached the end of the I/O queue without finding a request that matches the search criteria.
 

This method also might return other NTSTATUS values.

A bug check occurs if the driver supplies an invalid object handle.

Remarks

The WdfIoQueueFindRequest method searches a specified I/O queue and attempts to find an I/O request.

Your driver can call WdfIoQueueFindRequest only if the driver is using the manual dispatching method for the specified I/O queue.

If FileObject is not NULL, WdfIoQueueFindRequest only examines requests that are associated with the specified file object handle.

If FoundRequest is NULL, this method locates the first request in the I/O queue that matches the FileObject value. If FoundRequest is not NULL, the method begins searching at the request that is identified by FoundRequest. To create an iterative loop, specify NULL for the first call, and then use the returned handle as the FoundRequest parameter for subsequent calls.

If Parameters is not NULL, this method copies the found request's parameters into the driver-supplied structure.

Every call to WdfIoQueueFindRequest that returns STATUS_SUCCESS increments the reference count of the request object whose handle is returned in OutRequest. Therefore, your driver must call WdfObjectDereference after you have finished using the handle.

Calling WdfIoQueueFindRequest does not grant the driver ownership of any requests. If you want your driver to obtain ownership of a request so that it can process the request, the driver must call WdfIoQueueRetrieveFoundRequest. In fact, the driver can do only the following with the handle that it receives for the OutRequest parameter:

If a call to WdfIoQueueFindRequest returns STATUS_NOT_FOUND, a request that was previously in the queue has been removed. The request might have been canceled. A call to WdfIoQueueRetrieveFoundRequest can also return STATUS_NOT_FOUND.

Examples

Example 1

The following code example is from the PCIDRV sample driver. This example searches an I/O queue for a request that contains a specified I/O function code. If a matching request is found, the example calls WdfIoQueueRetrieveFoundRequest.

NTSTATUS
NICGetIoctlRequest(
    IN WDFQUEUE Queue,
    IN ULONG FunctionCode,
    OUT WDFREQUEST*  Request
    )

    NTSTATUS  status = STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL;
    WDF_REQUEST_PARAMETERS  params;
    WDFREQUEST  tagRequest;
    WDFREQUEST  prevTagRequest;

    WDF_REQUEST_PARAMETERS_INIT(&params);
 
    *Request = NULL;
    prevTagRequest = tagRequest = NULL;

    do {
        WDF_REQUEST_PARAMETERS_INIT(&params);
        status = WdfIoQueueFindRequest(
                                       Queue,
                                       prevTagRequest,
                                       NULL,
                                       &params,
                                       &tagRequest
                                       );

        if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)) { 
            status = STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL;
            break;
        }
        if (FunctionCode == params.Parameters.DeviceIoControl.IoControlCode){
            //
            // Found a match. Retrieve the request from the queue.
            //
            status = WdfIoQueueRetrieveFoundRequest(
                                                    Queue,
                                                    tagRequest,

                                                    );
            WdfObjectDereference(tagRequest);
            if (status == STATUS_NOT_FOUND) {

                // the criteria, so restart the search. 
                //
                prevTagRequest = tagRequest = NULL;
                continue;
            }
            if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)) {
                status = STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL;
                break;
            }
            //
            //  Found a request.
            //
            ASSERT(*Request == tagRequest);
            status =  STATUS_SUCCESS;
            break;
        } else {
            //
            // This request is not the correct one. Drop the reference 
            // on the tagRequest after the driver obtains the next request.
            //
            prevTagRequest = tagRequest;
            continue;
        }
    } while (TRUE);
    return status;

}

Example 2

The following code example shows how you can create a general-purpose search routine that calls a search-specific subroutine. If your driver must search one or more queues for multiple types of information, you can provide multiple search-specific subroutines. Each time that your driver calls the general-purpose search routine, it specifies the address of one of your search-specific subroutines.

//
// Type declaration for the driver's search-specific subroutines. 
//
typedef BOOLEAN (*PFN_CALLBACK_COMPARE)(WDFREQUEST, ULONG);

//
// General-purpose search routine. One of the routine's
// parameters is the address of a search-specific
// subroutine. The search routine calls back to the
// subroutine.
//
WDFREQUEST
FindRequestWithMatchingData(
    __in WDFQUEUE Queue,
    __in PFN_CALLBACK_COMPARE CallbackCompare,
    __in ULONG Data
    )

    WDFREQUEST  prevTagRequest = NULL;
    WDFREQUEST  tagRequest = NULL;
    WDFREQUEST  outRequest = NULL;
    NTSTATUS  status = STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST;

    PAGED_CODE();

                                       NULL,
                                       NULL,
