RtkSetProxyThreadPriority

RtkSetProxyThreadPriority sets the priority value of the proxy thread associated with the driver-created kernel thread.

Syntax

NTSTATUS RtkSetProxyThreadPriority(
    RTSSINST RtssInst,
    HANDLE hThread,
    int RtssPriority
);

Parameters

RtssInst

An RTSSINST value. Must pass in a valid RTSSINST value or the call will fail with STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER.

hThread

The handle which identifies the kernel thread as returned by a preceding call to the Windows kernel driver support routine PsGetCurrentThreadId().

RtssPriority

A priority level from 0 to 127, where 127 identifies the highest priority proxy thread.

Return Value

RtkSetProxyThreadPriorty returns STATUS_SUCCESS on success or on failure. One of the following NTSTATUS error codes is possible:

• STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
• STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE

Remarks

For every driver-created kernel thread making an RtkAPI call, a corresponding proxy thread is created. Calling RtkSetProxyThreadPriorty changes the priority of the proxy thread associated with the hThread handle value. This API does not change priority of the driver-created kernel thread.
