RemoveLock rule (wdm)

The RemoveLock rule specifies that calls to IoAcquireRemoveLock and IoReleaseRemoveLock are used correctly. Moreover, at the end of the IRP_MJ_PNP or IRP_MJ_POWER routine, the driver should not hold the RemoveLock.

Driver model: WDM

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the RemoveLock 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.
