NdisReturnNetBufferLists (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

NDIS drivers call this function to release ownership of a list of NET_BUFFER_LIST structures, together with the associated NET_BUFFER structures and network data.

Syntax

VOID
  NdisReturnNetBufferLists (
    IN NDIS_HANDLE  NdisBindingHandle,
    IN PNET_BUFFER_LIST  NetBufferLists,
    IN ULONG  ReturnFlags
    );

Parameters

  • NdisBindingHandle
    A handle that identifies the target adapter. This handle was returned by a previous call to the NdisOpenAdapterEx function. All the NET_BUFFER_LIST structures that are specified in this call must be from the binding that this handle identifies.
  • NetBufferLists
    A pointer to a linked list of NET_BUFFER_LIST structures that are to be returned to the underlying driver. The linked list can contain NET_BUFFER_LIST structures from multiple previous calls to the ProtocolReceiveNetBufferLists function.
  • ReturnFlags
    NDIS flags that can be combined with an OR operation. To clear all the flags, set this member to zero. This function supports the NDIS_RETURN_FLAGS_DISPATCH_LEVEL flag which; if set, indicates that the current IRQL is DISPATCH_LEVEL.

Return Value

None

Remarks

If the NDIS_RECEIVE_FLAGS_RESOURCES flag in the ReceiveFlags parameter that NDIS passed to the ProtocolReceiveNetBufferLists function was not set, the protocol driver must call NdisReturnNetBufferLists to return the NET_BUFFER_LIST structures and associated data. After the protocol driver calls NdisReturnNetBufferLists, NDIS calls the underlying miniport driver's MiniportReturnNetBufferLists function.
