You just need to have two different kinds of I/O request.
If you're using DeviceIoControl
to retrieve the URLs (I think this would be the most suitable method) this is as simple as adding a second I/O control code.
If you're using ReadFile
or equivalent, things would normally get a bit messier, but as it happens in this specific case you only have two kinds of operations, one of which is a read (driver->application) and the other of which is a write (application->driver). So you could just use WriteFile
to send the reply, including of course the GUID so that the driver can match up your reply to the right query.
Another approach (more similar to your original one) would be to use a shared memory buffer. See this answer for more details. The problem with that idea is that you would either need to use a spinlock (at the cost of system performance and power consumption, and of course not being able to work on a single-core system) or to poll (which is both inefficient and not really suitable for time-sensitive operations).
