The recommendations of this ebook are nonetheless invaluable for
Vista and XP.

It additionally explains the basics well.

I learn more recent books first, and so they have been too confusing.

Oney's booklet provides an excessive amount of info, and jumps from
topic to topic.

Orwick's publication is just too excessive point, and never sufficient detail.

Example text

How Spin Locks Work A spin lock is simply a mutual-exclusion object that is associated with a specific group of data structures. When a piece of kernel-mode code wants to touch any of the guarded data structures, it must first request ownership of the associated spin lock. Since only one CPU at a time can own the spin lock, the data structure is safe from contamination. Any CPU requesting an already-owned spin lock will busy-wait until the spin lock becomes available. Figure 5. 2 illustrates the process.

If the device requests a buffered I/O (BIO) operation, the I/O Manager allocates a nonpaged pool buffer, and for a write request, copies data from user space into the system buffer. If the device requests direct I/O (DIO), the user's buffer is locked down and a list of page descriptors is built for use by the driver. 5. The I/O Manager invokes the appropriate driver dispatch routine. Preprocessing by the Device Driver Each driver builds a dispatch table of entry points for each supported I/O function request.

Preprocessing by the I/O Manager  Preprocessing by the device driver  Device start and interrupt service  Postprocessing by the driver  Postprocessing by the I/O Manager The following sections describe the stages in more detail. Preprocessing by the I/O Manager This phase performs device-independent preparation and verification of an I/O request. 1. The Win32 subsystem converts the request into a native system service call. The system service dispatcher traps into kernel mode and into the I/O Manager.
