NdisFReturnNetBufferLists (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

Filter drivers call this function to release the ownership of one or more NET_BUFFER_LIST structures and their associated NET_BUFFER structures.

Syntax

VOID
  NdisFReturnNetBufferLists(
    IN NDIS_HANDLE  NdisFilterHandle,
    IN PNET_BUFFER_LIST  NetBufferLists,
    IN ULONG  ReturnFlags
    );

Parameters

  • NdisFilterHandle
    The NDIS handle that identifies this filter module. NDIS passed the handle to the filter driver in a call to the FilterAttach function.
  • 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 FilterReceiveNetBufferLists 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 FilterReceiveNetBufferLists function was not set, the filter driver must call the NdisFReturnNetBufferLists function to return the NET_BUFFER_LIST structures and associated data. After the filter driver calls NdisFReturnNetBufferLists, NDIS returns the data to the underlying driver.
