Below are some of Alex's notes on the mysterious LPC Subsystem
|

=========================

1. Sizes, sizes, sizes...
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
There are four imporant LPC Sizes to keep in mind. Try to understand them:
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* This determines the absolute maximum message size (0x100 bytes). For
|
|
* larger values, use a section-backed message.
|
|
*/
|
|
#define PORT_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_LENGTH 256
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* This determines the maximum length of an LPC request. It is the largest
|
|
* amount of bytes that an LPC request can take. To calculate this, assume
|
|
* that this is a CONNECTION_REQUEST message, which includes the additionnal
|
|
* LPCP_CONNECTION_MESSAGE structure as well. Therefore, we add the kernel LPC,
|
|
* header, the maximum port size and the size of the connection request
|
|
* structure. This gives a value of 0x15C. However, one must note that NT
|
|
* allocates the Lookaside List using a 16-byte aligned value, making this
|
|
* number 0x160.
|
|
*/
|
|
#define LPCP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE ROUND_UP(PORT_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_LENGTH + \
|
|
sizeof(LPCP_MESSAGE) + \
|
|
sizeof(LPCP_CONNECTION_MESSAGE), 16)
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Now, for an actual LPC Request size, we remove the kernel LPC header, which
|
|
* yields the size of the actual LPC Data that follows the Header, making this
|
|
* number 0x148.
|
|
*/
|
|
#define LPC_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH (LPCP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE - \
|
|
FIELD_OFFSET(LPCP_MESSAGE, Request))
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Finally, we'll calculate the maximum size of the Connection Info, giving us
|
|
* 0x104
|
|
*/
