NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory function

Note   NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.

NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory returns the virtual address of a buffer within a block of memory shared with a bus-master DMA NIC.

Syntax

VOID NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory(
  _In_  PVOID pSharedMemory,
  _In_  UINT  LookaheadLength,
  _Out_ PVOID *pLookaheadBuffer
);

Parameters

  • pSharedMemory [in]
    Specifies the base address of the shared memory range containing the data for the lookahead buffer.

  • LookaheadLength [in]
    Specifies the length in bytes for the lookahead buffer.

  • pLookaheadBuffer [out]
    Pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the virtual address of the lookahead buffer.

Return value

None

Remarks

NdisCreateLookaheadBufferFromSharedMemory provides a lookahead buffer that is a virtual memory copy of shared memory for miniport driver receive indications. To bound protocol drivers, such a lookahead buffer represents a read-only version of the shared memory.

This function accommodates system architectures that do not allow the NIC driver to read shared memory on a network interface card directly.

Requirements

Target platform

Desktop

Version

Not supported for NDIS 6.0 drivers in Windows Vista. Supported for NDIS 5.1 drivers in Windows Vista and Windows XP.
