Rtnl2CreatePhysicalRxQueueEvent

Rtnl2CreatePhysicalRxQueueEvent enables the hardware interrupt for a given Physical Receive Queue and creates an event for the specified Physical Receive Queue. This event is signaled by the NL2 each time the NIC triggers the hardware interrupt associated with that Physical Receive Queue.

Syntax

Copy
BOOL Rtnl2CreatePhysicalRxQueueEvent(
  [in]    RTNL2_HPHYSICAL_RX_QUEUE PhysicalRxQueue, 
  [out]   HANDLE *pEvent
);

Parameters

[in] PhysicalRxQueue

A handle to the Physical Receive Queue obtained from Rtnl2AcquirePhysicalRxQueue.

[out] pEvent

A handle to the created event.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, it returns TRUE. If the function fails, it returns FALSE. Call GetLastError to obtain an error code.

Possible error codes:

Error code Meaning

ERROR_NOT_READY

The calling process has not called Rtnl2Init.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

The supplied Physical Receive Queue handle is invalid.

ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS

The calling process has already created a Receive event for this Physical Receive Queue.

RTNL2_ERROR_PHYSICAL_RX_QUEUE_IS_RELEASING

Another thread of the calling process is executing Rtnl2ReleasePhysicalRxQueue at the same time.

RTNL2_ERROR_SERIALIZED_COMMAND_TIMEOUT

The NL2 process didn’t reply within an acceptable delay.

RTNL2_ERROR_NO_MORE_COMMUNICATION

Unable to communicate with the NL2 process. This might be because the NL2 process is not running anymore, or because an application process thread was terminated during a previous call to an NL2 API function.

Remarks

A NIC triggers the hardware interrupt whenever it fills a buffer. However, if interrupt moderation is enabled, the NIC waits a minimum interval before sending another interrupt.

Only one Receive event can be created per Physical Receive Queue.
