ULONG NDIS_BUFFER_TO_SPAN_PAGES(
  PNDIS_BUFFER _Buffer
);

Parameters

• _Buffer
  Specifies the buffer descriptor mapping the buffer

Return Value

The return value is the Windows Embedded Compact version, which is always 1.

Remarks

This macro is used by DMA drivers to determine how many physical discontiguities exist in a specified virtual buffer.

The NDIS_BUFFER_TO_SPAN_PAGES macro is defined as follows.

#define NDIS_BUFFER_TO_SPAN_PAGES(_Buffer)                  \
    (MmGetMdlByteCount(_Buffer)==0 ?                        \
                1 :                                         \
                (COMPUTE_PAGES_SPANNED(                     \
                        MmGetMdlVirtualAddress(_Buffer),    \
                        MmGetMdlByteCount(_Buffer))))
