PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE callback function (ndis.h)

The ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete function is required. This function indicates to the call manager that a previous call to NdisCoActivateVc has been completed by the miniport driver.

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

Syntax

PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete;

void ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete(
  [in] NDIS_STATUS Status,
  [in] NDIS_HANDLE CallMgrVcContext,
  [in] PCO_CALL_PARAMETERS CallParameters
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] Status

Specifies the final status, as indicated by the miniport driver, of the request by the call manager to activate a VC.

[in] CallMgrVcContext

Specifies the handle to a call manager-allocated context area in which the call manager maintains its per-VC state. The call manager supplied this handle from its ProtocolCoCreateVc function.

[in] CallParameters

Pointer to the call parameters as specified by the call manager in a call to NdisCmActivateVc.

Return value

None

Remarks

When other network components have completed their operations for activating a virtual connection, initiated when the call manager called NdisCmActivateVc, NDIS notifies the call manager that the VC has been activated by calling its ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete function. The status of the activation is found in Status . Possible values for Status include, but are not limited to:

ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete must check the status returned in Status to ensure that the virtual connection has been activated successfully. The call manager must not attempt to communicate over the virtual connection if Status is not NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS.

Call managers must complete any processing required by their network media to ensure that the virtual connection is ready for data transmission before returning control to NDIS.

If the call manager specified either ROUND_UP_FLOW or ROUND_DOWN_FLOW in the CallParameters ->
MediaParameters->Flags, the call parameters returned in CallParameters can have been changed by the miniport driver. Call managers should examine the call parameters that were returned to ensure proper operation. If the new call parameters are unsatisfactory, the call manager should either call NdisCmActivateVc again with new call parameters or deactivate the VC with NdisCmDeactivateVc.

Examples

To define a ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete 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 ProtocolCmActivateVcComplete function that is named "MyCmActivateVcComplete", use the PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE type as shown in this code example:

PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE MyCmActivateVcComplete;

Then, implement your function as follows:

_Use_decl_annotations_
VOID
 MyCmActivateVcComplete(
    NDIS_STATUS  Status,
    NDIS_HANDLE  CallMgrVcContext,
    PCO_CALL_PARAMETERS  CallParameters
    )
  {...}

The PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE 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 PROTOCOL_CM_ACTIVATE_VC_COMPLETE 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.
