Examples

Note  See Summary of Objects to see a diagram explaining the relationship of the NET_RING_BUFFER object with other objects in the NetAdapterCx.

To obtain a handle for a NET_RING_BUFFER, follow these steps:

  1. Run the !ndiskd.netadapter extension.
  2. Click on the handle for a NetAdapter that has a NetAdapterCx driver installed.
  3. Click the "More Information" link to the right of the NetAdapter's NETADAPTER object to run the !ndiskd.cxadapter extension.
  4. Enter the !ndiskd.cxadapter command with the -datapath parameter to see that NETADAPTER's datapath queues.
  5. Click on the handle for one of the datapath queues.

For details on Steps 1-4 of this procedure, see the examples on the !ndiskd.cxadapter topic. For details on Step 5 of this procedure, see the examples on the !ndiskd.netqueue topic. In the following example, look for the handle for this NETTXQUEUE's ring buffer, ffffd1022d000000.

0: kd> !ndiskd.netqueue ffffd1022f512700

    NETTXQUEUE         00002efdd0aed9a8
    Ring buffer        ffffd1022d000000

    Switch to EC thread

    Event Callbacks                        Function pointer   Symbol (if available)
    EvtQueueAdvance                        fffff80034152af8   RtEthSample+2af8
    EvtQueueArmNotification                fffff80034159a94   RtEthSample+9a94
    EvtQueueCancel                         fffff800341598d8   RtEthSample+98d8

By clicking on the handle for the ring buffer or by entering the !ndiskd.netrb -handle command on the command line, you can see details for this NET_RING_BUFFER, including how many elements it contains and the address of its Begin and End indices.

0: kd> !ndiskd.netrb ffffd1022d000000

    NET_RING    ffffd1022d000000

    Number of elements 0x080
    Owned by OS        0x080
    Owned by Client    00000

    Begin Index        0x078 (ffffd1022d003c40 - NET_PACKET)
    Next Index         0x078 (ffffd1022d003c40 - NET_PACKET)
    End Index          0x078 (ffffd1022d003c40 - NET_PACKET)

    List all elements

To see this NET_RING_BUFFER's elements, either click the "List all elements" link at the bottom of its details or enter the !ndiskd.netrb -dump command on the command line. The following example has had the middle elements excised for brevity.

0: kd> !ndiskd.netrb ffffd1022d000000 -dump

    [000] ffffd1022d000040 - NET_PACKET
    [001] ffffd1022d0000c0 - NET_PACKET
    [002] ffffd1022d000140 - NET_PACKET
    [003] ffffd1022d0001c0 - NET_PACKET
    [004] ffffd1022d000240 - NET_PACKET
    [005] ffffd1022d0002c0 - NET_PACKET
    
    ...

    [07b] ffffd1022d003dc0 - NET_PACKET
    [07c] ffffd1022d003e40 - NET_PACKET
    [07d] ffffd1022d003ec0 - NET_PACKET
    [07e] ffffd1022d003f40 - NET_PACKET
    [07f] ffffd1022d003fc0 - NET_PACKET
