FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST callback function (ndis.h)

NDIS calls a filter driver's FilterDirectOidRequest function to process a direct OID request that is associated with the specified filter module.

Note  You must declare the function by using the FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST type. For more information, see the following Examples section.
 

Syntax

FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST FilterDirectOidRequest;

NDIS_STATUS FilterDirectOidRequest(
  [in] NDIS_HANDLE FilterModuleContext,
  [in] PNDIS_OID_REQUEST OidRequest
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] FilterModuleContext

A handle to the context area for the filter module that is the target of this request. The filter driver created and initialized this context area in the FilterAttach function.

[in] OidRequest

A pointer to an NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure that specifies the operation requested, including the OID_ Xx code. The structure can specify either a query request or a set request

Return value

FilterDirectOidRequest returns one of the following status values:

Return code Description
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS
FilterDirectOidRequest successfully completed the filter driver's query or set operation for this filter module.
NDIS_STATUS_PENDING
The filter driver will complete the request asynchronously. After the driver completes the request, it must call the NdisFDirectOidRequestComplete function to inform NDIS that the request is complete.
NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_OID
The request that OidRequest specified was invalid or not recognized.
NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED
FilterDirectOidRequest does not support the OID; the OID is optional.
NDIS_STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SHORT
The buffer that OidRequest supplied was too small to hold the requested data.
NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_LENGTH
For a query operation, the InformationBufferLength member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure does not match the length that the given OID requires. FilterDirectOidRequest returned the required buffer size, in bytes, in the BytesNeeded member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure.
NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_DATA
For a set operation, the data that was supplied in the InformationBuffer member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure was invalid for the given OID.
NDIS_STATUS_NOT_ACCEPTED
FilterDirectOidRequest attempted to gather the requested information but was unsuccessful.
NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES
FilterDirectOidRequest failed because of insufficient resources.
NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE
N one of the preceding return values applies. The filter driver should call the NdisWriteErrorLogEntry function with parameters that specify the reason for the failure.

Remarks

FilterDirectOidRequest is an optional function. If a filter driver does not use direct OID requests, it can set the entry point for this function to NULL when it calls the NdisFRegisterFilterDriver function. If a filter driver defines a FilterDirectOidRequestComplete function, it must provide the FilterDirectOidRequest function.

NDIS calls the filter driver's FilterDirectOidRequest function to process direct OID requests that are originated by overlying drivers. Filter drivers can forward such requests to underlying drivers by calling the NdisFDirectOidRequest function. As an option, a filter driver can also complete a request immediately without forwarding the request.

Before the driver calls NdisFDirectOidRequest, the driver must allocate an NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure and transfer the request information to the new structure by calling the NdisAllocateCloneOidRequest function.

To complete a request synchronously, the filter driver returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS or a failure status. If the driver returns NDIS_STATUS_PENDING, it must call the NdisFDirectOidRequestComplete function to inform NDIS that the request is complete.

For a query operation, FilterDirectOidRequest returns the requested information in the InformationBuffer member and sets the variable in the BytesWritten member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure to the amount of information it returned. The underlying drivers do this if the filter driver passed the request on with NdisFDirectOidRequest.

For a set operation , FilterDirectOidRequest can use the data in the InformationBuffer member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure to set the information that the given OID requires. In this case, FilterDirectOidRequest sets the variable at BytesRead to the amount of the supplied data that it used. The underlying drivers set BytesRead in this way if the filter driver passed the request on with NdisFDirectOidRequest.

NDIS does not serialize requests that it sends to FilterDirectOidRequest with other OID requests. The filter driver must be able to handle multiple calls to FilterDirectOidRequest when other requests that are sent to FilterOidRequest or FilterDirectOidRequest are outstanding.

NDIS calls FilterDirectOidRequest at IRQL <= DISPATCH_LEVEL.

Examples

To define a FilterDirectOidRequest function, you must first provide a function declaration that identifies the type of function you're defining. Windows provides a set of function types for drivers. Declaring a function using the function types helps Code Analysis for Drivers, Static Driver Verifier (SDV), and other verification tools find errors, and it's a requirement for writing drivers for the Windows operating system.

For example, to define a FilterDirectOidRequest function that is named "MyDirectOidRequest", use the FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST type as shown in this code example:

FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST MyDirectOidRequest;

Then, implement your function as follows:

_Use_decl_annotations_
NDIS_STATUS
 MyDirectOidRequest(
    NDIS_HANDLE  FilterModuleContext,
    PNDIS_OID_REQUEST  OidRequest
    )
  {...}

The FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST function type is defined in the Ndis.h header file. To more accurately identify errors when you run the code analysis tools, be sure to add the Use_decl_annotations annotation to your function definition. The Use_decl_annotations annotation ensures that the annotations that are applied to the FILTER_DIRECT_OID_REQUEST function type in the header file are used. For more information about the requirements for function declarations, see Declaring Functions by Using Function Role Types for NDIS Drivers.

For information about Use_decl_annotations, see Annotating Function Behavior.
