Description
This PR reduces the ERROR level messages generated for eBPF for 2 of the expected flows.
Enumeration completion and nonmatching provider candidates are now not reported as errors. Actual validation, attachment, and unexpected operation failures continue to be logged at error severity.
Changes
Enumeration completion
Treat the following equivalent results as normal completion for enumeration operations:
EBPF_NO_MORE_KEYSSTATUS_NO_MORE_MATCHESERROR_NO_MORE_MATCHESThe suppression is scoped to known enumeration operations. The same result remains an error for non-enumeration operations.
Updated paths include:
DeviceIoControlhandlingProgram-information provider discovery
Reduce the severity of mismatch GUID messages in program info provider callback (both general and program type specific) to VERBOSE.
Expected Impact
In the analyzed production sample:
These changes remove expected enumeration completion and provider discovery from the production error stream while preserving actionable failures.
Testing
Manually ran the scenarios and validated that the traces are now being emitted at VERBOSE level.
Notes
The API behavior and returned status values are unchanged. This PR changes only the severity and duplication of telemetry for expected control-flow results.
