Intel 82579LM NIC driver memory leak in HCK for Windows 8.1

[MHo10]

Hi I've got a motherboard with the Intel 82579LM NIC adapter and trying to do the HCK test for it. However it encountered the issues during the "System - Sleep and PNP (disable and enable) with IO before and after", and a bugcheck was thrown. I've installed the Windows debugger and trace the memory dump file, and noticed there's memory leak on the NIC driver, for both inbox and the latest network driver in the 18.7 driver pack.

So is that there's the bug in the driver file, or the NIC itself got the issue so I need another one to do the same test?

Here's the bugcheck analysis for the inbox Windows 8.1 driver (e1i63x64.sys):

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)

A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. This is

because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the

administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.

If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will

be among the most commonly seen crashes.

Arguments:

Arg1: 0000000000000062, A driver has forgotten to free its pool allocations prior to unloading.

Arg2: ffffe00001d0bae0, name of the driver having the issue.

Arg3: ffffe000039f5a30, verifier internal structure with driver information.

Arg4: 0000000000000001, total # of (paged+nonpaged) allocations that weren't freed.

Type !verifier 3 drivername.sys for info on the allocations

that were leaked that caused the bugcheck.
