RequestedPowerIrp rule (wdm)

  • Article

The RequestedPowerIrp rule specifies that driver calls PoRequestPowerIrp with the *Irp pointer variable set to NULL.

Because the pointer returned by PoRequestPowerIrp is not reliable, drivers should not retrieve or use this value.

Driver model: WDM

Bug check(s) found with this rule: Bug Check 0xC4: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (0x0004100B)

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the RequestedPowerIrp 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.
