SUMMARY

The following statement in the Comments section of the InitializeListHead function reference documentation is incorrect:

Callers of InitializeListHead must be running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.

Instead it should read:

Callers of InitializeListHead can be running at IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL only if the caller-allocated storage for ListHead is resident and only if pointers to every list entry remain valid at IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL as well.

Callers of this function must be running at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL if the storage for ListHead and pointers to every list entry are from PagedPool.
