mlx5dv_mkey_check - Check a MKEY for errors
#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
int mlx5dv_mkey_check(struct mlx5dv_mkey *mkey,
struct mlx5dv_mkey_err *err_info);
Checks mkey for errors and provides the result in err_info on
success.
This should be called after using a MKEY configured with signature
validation in a transfer operation. While the transfer operation
itself may be completed successfully (i.e. no transport related
errors occurred), there still may be errors related to the
integrity of the data. The first of these errors is reported to
the MKEY and kept there until application software queries it by
calling this API.
The type of error indicates which part of the signature was bad
(guard, reftag or apptag). Also provided is the actual calculated
value based on the transferred data, and the expected value based
on the signature fields. Last part provided is the offset in the
transfer that caused the error.
mkey The MKEY to check for errors.
err_info
The result of the MKEY check, information about the errors
detected, if any.
struct mlx5dv_mkey_err {
enum mlx5dv_mkey_err_type err_type;
union {
struct mlx5dv_sig_err sig;
} err;
};
err_type
What kind of error happened. If several errors
exist in one block verified by the device, only the
first of them is reported, according to the order
specified in T10DIF specification, which is:
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_GUARD,
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_APPTAG,
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_REFTAG.
MLX5DV_MKEY_NO_ERR
No error is detected for the MKEY.
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_GUARD
A signature error was detected in
CRC/CHECKSUM for T10-DIF or
CRC32/CRC32C/CRC64_XP10 (depends on the
configured signature type). Additional
information about the error is provided in
struct mlx5dv_sig_err of err.
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_REFTAG
A signature error was detected in the
reference tag. This kind of signature error
is relevant for T10-DIF only. Additional
information about the error is provided in
struct mlx5dv_sig_err of err.
MLX5DV_MKEY_SIG_BLOCK_BAD_APPTAG
A signature error was detected in the
application tag. This kind of signature
error is relevant for T10-DIF only.
Additional information about the error is
provided in struct mlx5dv_sig_err of err.
err Information about the detected error if err_type is
not MLX5DV_MKEY_NO_ERR. Otherwise, its value is not
defined.
Signature error
struct mlx5dv_sig_err {
uint64_t actual_value;
uint64_t expected_value;
uint64_t offset;
};
actual_value
The actual value that was calculated from the transferred
data.
expected_value
The expected value based on what appears in the signature
respected field.
offset The offset within the transfer where the error happened.
In block signature, this is guaranteed to be a block
boundary offset.
0 on success or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the
failure reason).
A DEVX context should be opened by using mlx5dv_open_device(3).
Checking the MKEY for errors should be done after the application
knows the data transfer that was using the MKEY has finished.
Application should wait for the respected completion (if this was
a local MKEY) or wait for a received message from a peer (if this
was a remote MKEY).
