ADVANCED MEMORY TRACKING FOR KERNEL MODE DRIVERS

Abstract:

Described are examples for tracking memory usage of a driver. A memory allocation request related to the driver to allocate a portion of memory for the driver can be traced in a kernel mode of an operating system. One or more associated allocation parameters can be recorded, and an allocation history of the driver over a period of time can be reported during execution of the driver and based on the one or more allocation parameters indicated by the memory allocation request.
