STATUS_FLT_NO_WAITER_FOR_REPLY

STATUS_FLT_NO_WAITER_FOR_REPLY is a communication-port protocol result. A user-mode service attempted to send a reply, but no kernel-mode minifilter wait remained for that reply. The usual causes are a stale message identity, a timeout, cancellation, disconnect, or a race during filter unload.

Correlate every request and reply with the communication-port message identifier and define what the service should do when a reply is no longer wanted. A successful connection does not guarantee that a particular kernel wait remains alive; FltSendMessage has explicit timeout and disconnect outcomes.

Diagnostic data to retain

  • Message ID, client-port generation, send time, reply time, and timeout configuration.
  • Service restart and port-disconnect events.
  • Whether the minifilter requested a reply buffer or only one-way delivery.
