The call to the function "DRV_GetProcContext((u32)hProcess, hDRVObject, &pCtxt2, NULL, 0)" returns pCtxt2, which is same as pCtxtclosed that is passed to this function. > In a way, the call to DRV_GetProcContext is kind of redundant, but I think it is present here to provide the support to extract the Process Context when only the PID is passed in. Thanks for the explanation :) Is there any need to pass "HANDLE hPCtxt" to DRV_RemoveProcContext() function?
