NdisAllocateMdl (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This function allocates an MDL that describes the memory buffer at the specified virtual address.
Syntax
PMDL
NdisAllocateMdl(
IN NDIS_HANDLE NdisHandle,
IN PVOID VirtualAddress,
IN UINT Length
);
Parameters
- NdisHandle
An NDIS handle that was obtained during caller initialization.
- VirtualAddress
A pointer to the base virtual address of the buffer that the MDL is to describe.
- Length
The size, in bytes, of the memory buffer.
Return Value
NdisAllocateMdl returns a pointer to the allocated MDL. If the allocation fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
All MDLs that are allocated by calling NdisAllocateMdl must be freed by calling the NdisFreeMdl function.
Note NdisAllocateMdl allocates memory and builds the MDL in one step. This process differs from IoAllocateMdl, which only allocates memory for the MDL so the caller must build the MDL by calling either MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool or MmProbeAndLockPages.
