DOCFIX: IoAcquireCancelSpinLock Comments Are Incorrect

ID: Q126427

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) for Windows NT, version 3.5

The Win32 DDK version 3.5 online documentation incorrectly references a function in the Comments section of IoAcquireCancelSpinLock. The documentation states:

The holder of the cancel spin lock should release it promptly by
calling IoReleaseSpinLock.

The function IoReleaseSpinLock should be IoReleaseCancelSpinLock.

This documentation error is corrected in the Win32 DDK version 3.51 online documentation.

Additional query words: 3.50, I/O, IO, spinlock
