OpenVMS ALPRTPA01_070 Alpha V7.0 CTDRIVER ECO Summary

NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1997. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha, Version 7.0 COMPONENT: SYS$CTDRIVER.EXE SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPRTPA01_070 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 300 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: 1 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS. NOTE: In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit, the following remedial kits also need to be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for CTDRIVER.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in the ALPRTPA01_070 Kit: o If there is an I/O error, then there is an attempt to remove the current Interrupt Request Packet (IRP). If there is a buffer associated with this IRP, then the buffer is deallocated. But, before the IRP itself is removed, the caller is returned and the IRP is left hanging. The user might see this as a loss of nonpaged pool. Over a period of time this could exhaust the pool in the system. o The user will see this in several different ways depending on how the registers R9 and/or R10 are being used. The result could be a process hang or system crash. INSTALLATION NOTES: In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire cluster should be rebooted.
