Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install a Storport storage miniport driver on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
The miniport driver supports the Direct Memory Access (DMA) feature and requires mapped I/O buffers for read and write operations.
-
The miniport driver allocates I/O data, and then the miniport driver copies the I/O data in memory.
-
The miniport driver uses the copied data instead of the DMA area to perform I/O operations.
In this scenario, the data that is stored in memory becomes corrupted. For example, when the miniport driver uses the memcpy function to copy data to the mapped I/O buffers, the data that the miniport driver copies becomes corrupted.This issue occurs when one or more of the following conditions are true:
-
The computer is running a 32-bit operating system that has Physical Address Extension (PAE) enabled and that has the 32-bit DMA controller installed.
-
The computer is running a 64-bit operating system that has the DMA Verification feature enabled in the Driver Verifier tool.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) expects the miniport driver to perform I/O operations by using a DMA bus master device. When the miniport driver caches data and then uses the buffer to complete an I/O operation, the destination buffer address is not the address of the buffer that the HAL expects. Therefore, when the HAL uses temporary physical pages in the DMA feature, the physical pages do not match the virtual pages that are described in a scatter-gather list.Note The HAL uses double buffering when physical pages are located at the addresses that the bus mastering adapter cannot access. Additionally, the HAL uses a page that is allocated temporarily so that the adapter can read from or write to the I/O operations.
Resolution
Hotfix information
Important This hotfix has been re-released to address an issue in which the digital signature on files produced and signed by Microsoft will expire prematurely, as described in Microsoft Security Advisory 2749655.After you install the update that is described in this KB article, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 support the STOR_MAP_ALL_BUFFERS_INCLUDING_READ_WRITE value in the MapBuffers field member of the HW_INITIALIZATION_DATA StorPort structure. A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article. This hotfix might receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next software update that contains this hotfix.If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix download available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. If this section does not appear, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the hotfix. Note If additional issues occur or if any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for this specific hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Service and Support telephone numbers or to create a separate service request, visit the following Microsoft website:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=supportNote The "Hotfix download available" form displays the languages for which the hotfix is available. If you do not see your language, it is because a hotfix is not available for that language.

-
The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM,SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
Version
Product
Milestone
Service branch
6.1.760 0.17xxx
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
RTM
GDR
6.1.760 0.21xxx

LDR
-
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
-
The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
