Similar to Double Free (process heap) and Double Free (kernel pool) that might be detected through instrumentation such as gflags and Driver Verifier there is also an IRP double completion variant implemented through Self-Diagnosis (kernel mode). Here’s a typical example:
0: kd> !analyze -v
[...]
MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS (44)
A driver has requested that an IRP be completed (IoCompleteRequest()), but the packet has already been completed. This is a tough bug to find because the easiest case, a driver actually attempted to complete its own packet twice, is generally not what happened. Rather, two separate drivers each believe that they own the packet, and each attempts to complete it. The first actually works, and the second fails. Tracking down which drivers in the system actually did this is difficult, generally because the trails of the first driver have been covered by the second. However, the driver stack for the current request can be found by examining the DeviceObject fields in each of the stack locations.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa80104aa010, Address of the IRP
Arg2: 0000000000000eae
Arg3: 0000000000000000
