ExInitializeResourceLite function (wdm.h)

The ExInitializeResourceLite routine initializes a resource variable.

Syntax

NTSTATUS ExInitializeResourceLite(
  [out] PERESOURCE Resource
);

Parameters

[out] Resource

A pointer to the caller-supplied storage, which must be at least sizeof(ERESOURCE), for the resource variable being initialized. The storage must be 4-byte aligned on 32-bit platforms, and 8-byte aligned on 64-bit platforms.

Return value

ExInitializeResourceLite returns STATUS_SUCCESS.

Remarks

The storage for ERESOURCE must be allocated from nonpaged pool.

The resource variable can be used for synchronization by a set of threads. Although the caller provides the storage for the resource variable, the ERESOURCE structure is opaque: that is, its members are reserved for system use.

Call ExDeleteResourceLite before freeing the memory for the resource.
