A method provides device selective suspension feature when the operating system does not allow certain device drivers to perform device selective suspension. Two driver stacks are provided in the kernel space for the device. The first driver stack includes a virtual bus, a PDO (physical device object) created by the virtual bus, and a driver for the device (e.g. NDIS driver); the second stack includes a device driver stack (e.g. USB generic driver) and a function driver that performs device selective suspension by sending power IRPs to the device driver stack. By using a virtual bus and PDOs created by the virtual bus in the first driver stack, the driver above the PDO can be any one of many types of drivers (NDIS driver being one example). The virtual bus forwards IRPs from the first driver stack to the second driver stack. |
