ERROR_EVENT_PENDING

What ERROR_EVENT_PENDING means

A Transport Driver Interface event indication entered a pending state. In practical terms, this status belongs to legacy asynchronous TDI events: the client will finish processing later and must eventually complete the operation.

Typical causes

  • The indication requires asynchronous I/O
  • The client retained buffers or context for deferred processing
  • Backpressure delayed immediate completion

How to investigate

  1. Record the pending context and ownership of every retained buffer
  2. Ensure a completion or cancellation path always runs
  3. Check unload and disconnect handling for outstanding indications

Developer guidance

Pending transfers ownership and lifetime responsibilities. Drivers must not free request state until the later completion path has executed.
