“!drvobj Driver Name | PDRIVER_OBJECT pointer” will list all of the devices that a driver has created. I typically invoke this call with “!drvobj Driver Name.” For instance,

0: kd> !drvobj \Driver\i8042prt
Driver object (82158040) is for:
\Driver\i8042prt
Driver Extension List: (id , addr)

Device Object list:
8213c3d0 82153738

Once you have a list of devices, you can pass a device pointer to either !devobj or !devstack to get more information. !devobj will work for any type of device object and will give the device name, device extenion, current irp (for StartIo) and lot more information.

0: kd> !devobj 8213c3d0
Device object (8213c3d0) is for:
\Driver\i8042prt DriverObject 82158040

Device queue is not busy.

If the device is a pnp device object (FDO, PDO, filter, doesn’t matter), !devstack will show you the entire stack of devices. This can give you a better picture of the environment that your device is executing in. In the following example, I am dumping the device which controsl the PS2 mouse. Furthermore, the device stack is being verifier by driver verifier which is why you see the 2 device objects created by \Driver\VERIFIER.

Using either !devobj or !devstack, you can get your device extension and then dump it. This is useful if you have a BSOD where you know your driver is at fault, but the callstack itself does not have any backpointers to your device or the needed context.

Finally, if you have a pnp device object, you can see the information that power maintains on your device object by running !podev. In the following example, I ran !podev when an Sx irp was being sent to the mouse stack (by setting a bp on i8042prt!I8xPower)

1: kd> !podev 0x8213c3d0

Device Object Extension: 8213c768:
PowerFlags: 00000110 =>SystemState=0 DeviceState=1 syact
Dope: 00000000:

For instance, if your driver calls PoSetPowerState() properly for each S and D irp, the PowerFlags will indicate the current S and D state of the device (i8042prt only calls it for D irps). PowerFlags also can tell you if there is an S or D irp active on your device (unfortunately, not the PIRP value itself which would be useful); in this case, there is an S irp active as indicated by the “sysact” output. By continuing on and keeping the same breakpoint, I can see when a device power irp is active
