Interpreting Bug Check 0xCB

The most common bug check code associated with debugging a video stream stall is Bug Check 0xCB (DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS). For a detailed list of its parameters, see Bug Check 0xCB.

The message displayed when the bug check occurs will point to Ks.sys as the cause.

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.
BugCheck CB, {f90c6ae0, f9949215, 81861788, 26}
Probably caused by : ks.sys ( ks!KsProbeStreamIrp+333 )

As suggested, use !analyze –v to get more detailed information.

kd> !analyze -v
DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS (cb)
Caused by a driver not cleaning up completely after an I/O.
When possible, the guilty driver's name (Unicode string) is printed on
the bugcheck screen and saved in KiBugCheckDriver.
Arguments:
Arg3: 81861788, A pointer to the MDL containing the locked pages.

Now, use the !search extension to find the virtual addresses that are associated with the MDL pointer.

kd> !search 81861788
Searching PFNs in range 00000001 - 0000FF76 for [FFFFFFFF81861788 - FFFFFFFF81861788]

For each virtual address (VA) found, look for an IRP signature. Do this by using the dd command with the VA minus one DWORD.

kd> dd 808A7B0C-4 l4
808a7b08  f9949215 81861788 00000026 00000000
kd> $ Not an Irp
kd> dd 80A04224-4 l4

817329b0  01900006 81861788 00000070 ffa59220
kd> $ Matches signature

After a VA with an IRP signature has been found, use the !irp extension to find out what driver is pending on this IRP.

kd> !irp 817329b0 7
Irp is active with 2 stacks 2 is current (= 0x81732a44)
 Mdl = 81861788 System buffer = ffa59220 Thread 00000000:  Irp stack trace.
>[  e, 0]   1  1 81a883c8 81ae6158 00000000-00000000    pending
               \Driver\TESTCAP
                        Args: 00000070 00000000 002f4017 00000000

In this case, \Driver\TESTCAP is the likely cause of the bug check.
