The StorPortGetVirtualAddress routine obtains a virtual address that maps to the indicated physical address.

Syntax

STORPORT_API PVOID StorPortGetVirtualAddress(
  [in] PVOID                 HwDeviceExtension,
  [in] STOR_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS PhysicalAddress
);

Parameters

[in] HwDeviceExtension

A pointer to the hardware device extension. This is a per HBA storage area that the port driver allocates and initializes on behalf of the miniport driver. Miniport drivers usually store HBA-specific information in this extension, such as the state of the HBA and the mapped access ranges for the HBA. This area is available to the miniport driver immediately after the miniport driver calls StorPortInitialize. The port driver frees this memory when it removes the device.

[in] PhysicalAddress

Specifies the physical address to be mapped. This value must have been returned by StorPortGetPhysicalAddress and must be from an uncached device extension or SRB extension.

Return value

StorPortGetVirtualAddress returns a virtual address associated with the physical address indicated in the PhysicalAddress parameter. Typically, this physical address was obtained by a call to StorPortGetPhysicalAddress.

Remarks

The physical address must be an address that is obtained through a call to StorPortGetPhysicalAddress.

StorPortGetVirtualAddress uses STOR_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS to represent physical addresses.

typedef PHYSICAL_ADDRESS STOR_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, *PSTOR_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS;

The STOR_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS type is an operating system-independent data type that Storport miniport drivers use to represent either a physical addresses or a bus-relative address.
