It is a design goal not to spend too much time in ISRs, for this reason ISRs should postpone most processing till it can run at a lower IRQL. The -mechanism for this is a Delayed Procedure Call (DPC). When a DPC object is +mechanism for this is a Deferred Procedure Call (DPC). When a DPC object is created, it is associated with a function. The DPC object can then be inserted in the DPC queue from an ISR. If the IRQL on return from the ISR is less than DISPATCH_LEVEL the DPC queue will be drained, otherwise this will happen when
