NdisFreeMemory

  • Article

This function releases a block of memory previously allocated with the NdisAllocateMemory function.

VOID NdisFreeMemory(
IN PVOID VirtualAddress,
IN UINT Length, 
IN UINT MemoryFlags );

Parameters

  • VirtualAddress
    Pointer to the base virtual address of the allocated memory. This address was returned by the NdisAllocateMemory function.

  • Length
    Specifies the size, in bytes, of the memory block to be released. This parameter must be identical to the Length that was passed to NdisAllocateMemory.

  • MemoryFlags
    Specifies 0 or the bitmask originally passed to NdisAllocateMemory for the preceding range; one of the following:

    Value Description
    0 Nonpaged system-space memory.
    NDIS_MEMORY_CONTIGUOUS Physically contiguous memory.
    NDIS_MEMORY_NONCACHED Noncached memory.

    This value must be identical to the MemoryFlags parameter that was passed to NdisAllocateMemory.

Remarks

The parameters passed to this function must be identical to those passed to NdisAllocateMemory when the block of memory was allocated. That is, a caller of this function cannot release a subrange of the block that was allocated.
