call [ilb.ILB_internal_request]
 

Passes the given I/O request to a driver in the calldown chain. A device driver uses this routine to send I/O requests though the calldown chain without calling the IOS_SendCommand service. The driver can either send the I/O request to the driver at the next layer in the chain or to the top of the chain.

• No return value.

IOP

Address of the IOP structure to pass through the calldown chain.

DCB

Address of a logical or physical DCB structure that contains the address of the calldown list.

vector

Address of the current I/O request routine or zero. If an address, the routine calls next driver in the calldown chain. If vector is zero, the routine calls the first driver in the chain.
