DOC: InitializeListHead Function Documentation Is Incorrect |
Q196551
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) for Windows NT, versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
SUMMARY
The following statement in the Comments section of the InitializeListHead function reference documentation is incorrect:
Callers of InitializeListHead must be running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.
Instead it should read:
Callers of InitializeListHead can be running at IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL only if the caller-allocated storage for ListHead is resident and only if pointers to every list entry remain valid at IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL as well.
Callers of this function must be running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL if the storage for ListHead and pointers to every list entry are from PagedPool.
