Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [NULL] Additions for the Null driver.

by Alex Ionescu

1) I thought certain MDL fast I/O routines can get called at DISPATCH_LEVEL 2) For perf reasons, causing a page-fault in the middle of a "fast I/O" is probably a bad idea. That being said -- these concerns seem silly since we are talking about the "Null" driver which... is entirely PAGED_CODE and clearly neither #1 or #2 are actual issues. In Windows, the fast I/o table is part of the DEVICE_OBJECT itself. Not sure why our driver allocates a separate pool allocation to begin with.

Status Meeting (April 2018)

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Let me invite you to the April 2018 meeting, taking place this Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 19:00 UTC. There have been no requests for additional agenda points yet and I'm not aware of any developments of the outstanding points of last meeting, so right now the agenda only includes the Status Updates. If there is something you want discussed this month, please reply to this mail. As waiting for every developer's Status Report still wastes too much time each month, I'm asking everyone to prepare a short text in advance. Unlike previous meetings, let's all try to post our status updates simultaneously this time and let the IRC server handle the congestion. This may make some reports harder to read, but we should be able to move on much quicker. Best regards, Colin

It seems to only be used at low IRQLs, so it seems logical. However I see it allocated nonpaged everywhere else and can't seem to find definitive documentation on the subject. (And yes, most filesystem drivers use a static structure, but those drivers don't use MmPageEntireDriver) Thanks, Thomas

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [WINLOGON] Clean up part 2 - Replace the UNICODE_STRING usMessage by a PWSTR pszMessage. - Use the "%02d:%02d:%02d" time format and get rid of the safe string printf because the string will NEVER be longer than 8 characters. - Rename the timer id constant because it is NOT a resource id. - Rename variables according to the coding style.

Hey Eric, On 2018-04-02 12:58, Eric Kohl wrote: > - RtlStringCbPrintfW(strbuf, sizeof(strbuf), L"%d:%d:%d", hours, minutes, seconds); > + swprintf(szBuffer, L"%02d:%02d:%02d", iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds); Unfortunately I must disagree with this change. Buffer overflows are a big enough threat that code review and static analysis are not generally considered sufficient to protect against them. So it's best practice for new code to always verify sizes at run-time, and never to use s(w)print. Best regards, Thomas PS: from what I see, iHours can be as large as 1193046, which won't fit in 2 digits

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 02/08: [NTOSKRNL] Forbid processes without the Tcb prvilege to perform a user-mode hard-error BSOD.

by Alex Ionescu

So to be clear, while the kernel still has tons of incompatible code and issues to barely run as a Win2003-compatible kernel, whenever there's an NT design decision you disagree with, you're going to be rewriting the little bit of code that _does work well_ to work contrary to how NT works? Did I get that right? Good luck.

If I remember correctly you can make shutdowns delayed of many days on Windows (using the InitiateSystemShutdown(Ex) function), in which case the 2-digit hour won't work at all.
