Hi Evert
Unfortunately I have been too optimistic. My XP-system froze again -
this time after about half an
hour.
I'm pretty sure that with your proposed changes implemented I do not
call ::Notify on my
capture-stream's service-group while a the dpc executing the
"SourceEvtsToPort" on this
service-group is actually doing things like ::GetMessage() or
::PutMessage().
Either I did not implement your changes well enough, or there is still a
locking issue between
different streams - currently I have seperate service-groups for each
miniport-port/stream
and also the "InNotify" is per miniport-port - is this wrong to do?
Should I have only one service-group for all of my midi-ports and only
one "InNotify" variable
to secure the Notify-calls for all ports at once?
If that is the case, how can I be sure that this design will not fail if
there are additional
other midiport-drivers (for a usb-midi-device for example) active on the
system and together
they freeze the system?

Yes - that's correct - as I based my design on the DMusUart-sample, most
of the specifics
where there already...

The DMusUart sample loops as long as there is something in the
software-fifo, calling ::GetMessage()
and ::PutMessage as many times as it needs to deplete the software-fifo.
When it returns, the software-fifo is empty (up to this point, this
might change with the next
"interrupt" though, but then we just call ::Notify() to dispatch the
next iteration of the retrieval
loop again)
Best regards,
Tobias
