This function is a required function if a driver's network adapter generates interrupts. MiniportHandleInterruptdoes the deferred processing of all outstanding interrupt operations.

VOID MiniportHandleInterrupt(
IN NDIS_HANDLE
MiniportAdapterContext
);

Parameters

MiniportAdapterContext

Specifies the handle to a miniport-allocated context area in which the driver maintains per-network adapter state, set up by MiniportInitialize.

Comments

When a network adapter generates an interrupt, a miniport's MiniportISRor MiniportDisableInterruptfunction dismisses the interrupt on the network adapter, saves any necessary state about the operation, and returns control as quickly as possible, thereby deferring most interrupt-driven I/O operations to MiniportHandleInterrupt. MiniportHandleInterruptdoes the deferred processing of all outstanding interrupt operations.

When MiniportHandleInterruptis called, interrupts have typically been disabled on the network adapter by the MiniportISRor MiniportDisableInterruptfunction. Before it returns control, MiniportHandleInterruptcan re-enable interrupts on the network adapter.

A miniport can call NdisMDeregisterMiniportfrom its MiniportInitializeor MiniportHaltfunction to release resources that it allocated with NdisMDeregisterInterrupt. After NdisMDeregisterMiniportreturns, NDIS does not call a miniport's MiniportISRor MiniportHandleInterruptfunctions.
