MiniportSetInformation and MiniportHandleInterrupt() are serialize

Dear,

I have an issue of NDIS driver on CE 5.0.

My driver needs to wait interrupt from MiniportSetInformation.
But, if MiniportISR() is called and it defers packets to let
MiniportHandleInterrupt() do rest of works, while MiniportSetInformation() is
executing,
MiniportHandleInterrupt() is defered until end of MiniportSetInformation().

So, it makes dead-lock that MiniportSetInformation() is waiting interrupt
but MiniportISR() is not called until end of MiniportSetInformation().

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance,
Woojung

Hi,

I resolved the issue using asynchronous NdisMSetInformationComplete().

I suspect MiniportHandleInterrupt() and MiniportSetInformation() are
serialized.
But, can anyone confirm that?

Thanks,
Woojung
