IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY in mountmgr.sys - wine-devel

26 Mar 2009

Hi,
The ioctl handler for IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY on \\.\c: in 
mountmgr.sys doesn't work. The call returns incorrect values that change 
at random intervals.
Since the ioctl is defined as METHOD_BUFFERED I think it should be 
putting DRIVE_GEOMETRY data in IRP->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer. Instead 
the handler puts the data in IRP->MdlAddress.StartVa. Then process_ioctl 
in ntoskrnl.exe wipes out the output data with the random stuff in the 
allocated SystemBuffer.
I am out of my depth with windows driver handling code, but a web search 
(http://www.cmkrnl.com/arc-ioctlbuf.html) says that SystemBuffer should 
be where the data is put. Indeed, when I change to SystemBuffer the user 
call to DeviceIoControl gets the right values back.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks, Michael Ost
PS: here's a proposed patch...
