Scheduling Thread Context IRQL
This paper presents information about how thread scheduling, thread context, and a processor’s current interrupt request level (IRQL) affect the operation of kernel-mode drivers for the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating systems. It is intended to provide driver writers with a greater understanding of the environment in which their code runs. A companion paper, “Locks, Deadlocks, and Synchronization” at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/driver/LOCKS.mspx, builds on these fundamental concepts to address synchronization issues in drivers.
