NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This function frees a network interface NET_LUID index that was previously allocated by a call to the NdisIfAllocateNetLuidIndex function.
Syntax
NDIS_STATUS
NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex(
IN NET_IFTYPE IfType,
IN UINT32 NetLuidIndex
);
Parameters
- IfType
The interface type that the index was allocated for. The caller must provide the same value that it used when it allocated the NET_LUID index with NdisIfAllocateNetLuidIndex. For a list of interface types, see NDIS Interface Types.
- NetLuidIndex
The NET_LUID index value that NDIS should free. This index was allocated in a previous call to NdisIfAllocateNetLuidIndex.
Return Value
NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex returns one of the following values:
Value |
Description |
---|---|
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS |
The operation completed successfully. |
DIS_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER |
NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex failed because the NetLuidIndex parameter specified an index that was not allocated for the type that the IfType parameter specified. |
If the call to NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex fails, the interface provider should remove any information that it saved in persistent storage that is related to the index. Removing the information will make sure that the provider does not continue to try to free an index that is already freed after the device restarts.
Remarks
NDIS interface providers call the NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex function to free a NET_LUID index. The interface provider should free the NET_LUID index only if the interface will not be used any longer on the local device.
NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex returns a previously allocated NET_LUID index to NDIS for possible reallocation to another interface. The caller must pass in the same interface type at IfType that it used when it called the NdisIfAllocateNetLuidIndex function to allocate the NET_LUID index.
The provider should not use the freed NET_LUID index or the associated NET_LUID value in any other NDIS function calls after it calls NdisIfFreeNetLuidIndex.
