View the official Windows Driver Kit DDI referenceNo description available.
The NdisAllocateCloneOidRequest function allocates memory for a new NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure and copies all the information from an existing NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure to the newly allocated structure.
SourceHandle [in]An NDIS handle that identifies a filter module or an intermediate driver's protocol binding.
OidRequestA pointer to an existing NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure from which NDIS copies the information to the newly allocated structure.
PoolTag [in]A kernel pool tag. The tag is a string, delimited by single quotation marks, with as many as four characters, usually specified in reverse order.
ClonedOidRequestA pointer to a pointer to an NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure. If NDIS returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS, NDIS provides a pointer to the new, cloned NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure; otherwise, NDIS sets the pointer value to NULL.
NdisAllocateClonedRequest can return one of the following status values:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS | NDIS successfully allocated an NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure. The CloneRequest parameter contains a pointer to the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure. |
| NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER | The allocation request failed because the NDIS handle specified at SourceHandle is not valid. |
| NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES | The allocation request failed because NDIS did not have sufficient resources to complete the allocation request. |
| NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE | The driver failed to allocate the cloned structure for reasons other than those in the preceding list. |
To forward a request down to the underlying drivers, an NDIS intermediate driver or filter driver must call NdisAllocateCloneOidRequest to allocate a cloned NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure. A filter driver or intermediate driver should not forward the original NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure to underlying drivers.
NdisAllocateCloneOidRequest allocates new memory and copies the data from an existing NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure to the new structure.
The driver must subsequently call the NdisFreeCloneOidRequest function to free the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure.
