NDIS_SWITCH_SET_NET_BUFFER_LIST_SOURCE callback function (ndis.h)

  • Artikel

The SetNetBufferListSource function sets the Hyper-V extensible switch source port identifier and network adapter index for a packet that is specified by a NET_BUFFER_LIST structure.

Syntax

NDIS_SWITCH_SET_NET_BUFFER_LIST_SOURCE NdisSwitchSetNetBufferListSource;

NDIS_STATUS NdisSwitchSetNetBufferListSource(
  [in] NDIS_SWITCH_CONTEXT NdisSwitchContext,
       PNET_BUFFER_LIST NetBufferList,
  [in] NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_ID PortId,
  [in] NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_INDEX NicIndex
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] NdisSwitchContext

An NDIS_SWITCH_CONTEXT value that contains the handle of the extensible switch module to which the Hyper-V extensible switch extension is attached. When the extension calls NdisFGetOptionalSwitchHandlers, this handle is returned through the NdisSwitchContext parameter.

NetBufferList

A pointer to a NET_BUFFER_LIST structure for a single packet.

Note  This structure must contain an extensible switch forwarding context that was previously allocated by calling the AllocateNetBufferListForwardingContext function. For more information about the extensible switch forwarding context, see Hyper-V Extensible Switch Forwarding Context.
 

[in] PortId

An NDIS_SWITCH_PORT_ID value that specifies the unique identifier of the source port on the extensible switch.

[in] NicIndex

An NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_INDEX value that specifies the index of the network adapter that is connected to the extensible switch port specified by the PortId parameter.

For more information on NDIS_SWITCH_NIC_INDEX values, see Network Adapter Index Values.

Note  This parameter must specify the index value of a network adapter that is in a connected state. Index values for network adapters that are in a created or disconnected state cannot be specified. For more information about network connection states, see Hyper-V Extensible Switch Port and Network Adapter States.
 

Return value

If the call succeeds, the function returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns an NDIS_STATUS_Xxx error code that is defined in Ndis.h.

Remarks

The extensible switch extension calls the SetNetBufferListSource function to set the source port identifier and network adapter index in a packet's NET_BUFFER_LIST structure. The extension does this for the following types of packets:

  • A new packet that the extension has allocated for send or receive operations.
    Note  Before the extension calls SetNetBufferListSource for an allocated packet, it must call AllocateNetBufferListForwardingContext.
     
  • A duplicated packet that the extension had cloned from an original packet that it was filtering. The extension duplicates a packet by calling NdisAllocateCloneNetBufferList.
In both cases, a new or duplicated packet will have its source port identifier set to NDIS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_PORT_ID and its source network adapter index set to NDIS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_NIC_INDEX. The extension calls the SetNetBufferListSource function to change the source port identifier and network adapter index in a packet's NET_BUFFER_LIST structure.

For example, a packet that has a source port identifier of NDIS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_PORT_ID is trusted and bypasses many extensible switch port policies. These policies include access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS). If the extension specifies a non-default source port for the packet, this allows the policies for that port to be applied to the packet.

Note  Because packets with a source port identifier of NDIS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_PORT_ID are trusted, the extension must use this source port identifier very carefully when it originates packet traffic. For more information on the recommended use of the NDIS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_PORT_ID for source ports, see Managing Hyper-V Extensible Switch Source Port Data.
