NdisAllocateNetBuffer rule (ndis)

  • Article

The NdisAllocateNetBuffer rule specifies that NdisAllocateNetBuffer and NdisFreeNetBuffer are called in alternate order. The ultimate goal is to make sure all instances of NET_BUFFER are freed when MiniportHaltEx ends.

The rule uses three different states. The state changes when a NET_BUFFER is allocated or freed. If a NET_BUFFER is still allocated when the MiniportHaltEx exits, the rule reports the defect.

Driver model: NDIS

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the NdisAllocateNetBuffer rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
