Remarks
MmFreePagesFromMdl can only be used to free the memory pages that are described by an MDL that was created by MmAllocatePagesForMdl.
After calling MmFreePagesFromMdl, the caller must also call ExFreePool to release the memory that was allocated for the MDL structure.
MmFreePagesFromMdl runs at IRQL <= APC_LEVEL. For Windows Server 2008 and later versions of the Windows operating system, you can also call this routine at DISPATCH_LEVEL. However, you can improve driver performance by calling at IRQL <= APC_LEVEL.
