02/22/2024

The StorPortAllocateMdl routine allocates an MDL to describe the given non-paged pool memory.

Syntax

ULONG StorPortAllocateMdl(
  [in]  PVOID HwDeviceExtension,
  [in]  PVOID BufferPointer,
  [in]  ULONG NumberOfBytes,
  [out] PVOID *Mdl
);

Parameters

[in] HwDeviceExtension

A pointer to the hardware device extension for the host bus adapter (HBA).

[in] BufferPointer

A pointer to the base virtual address of the buffer that the MDL is to describe.

[in] NumberOfBytes

This parameter specifies the length, in bytes, of the buffer that the MDL is to describe.

[out] Mdl

A pointer to receive the allocated MDL.

Return value

StorPortAllocateMdl returns one of the following status codes:

Return code	Description
STOR_STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED	This function is not implemented on the active operating system.
STOR_STATUS_SUCCESS	Indicates that the routine allocated the MDL successfully.
STOR_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER	The pointer to receive the MDL is NULL. The pointer to the buffer is NULL.
STOR_STATUS_INVALID_IRQL	The call was made at an invalid IRQL.
STOR_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES	Unable to allocate MDL to describe the given buffer.

Remarks

A miniport driver calls the StorPortAllocateMdl routine to allocate an MDL to describe a block of memory from the non-paged pool. To free the MDL, the miniport driver calls the StorPortFreeMdl routine.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Target Platform	Universal
Header	storport.h (include Storport.h)
IRQL	<=DISPATCH_LEVEL
DDI compliance rules	StorPortIrql(storport)
