RDMA_CREATE_EP(3) Librdmacm Programmer's Manual RDMA_CREATE_EP(3)
rdma_create_ep - Allocate a communication identifier and optional
QP.
#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>
int rdma_create_ep (struct rdma_cm_id **id, struct rdma_addrinfo
*res, struct ibv_pd *pd, struct ibv_qp_init_attr *qp_init_attr);
id A reference where the allocated communication
identifier will be returned.
res Address information associated with the rdma_cm_id
returned from rdma_getaddrinfo.
pd Optional protection domain if a QP is associated with
the rdma_cm_id.
qp_init_attr
Optional initial QP attributes.
Creates an identifier that is used to track communication
information.
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno
will be set to indicate the failure reason.
After resolving address information using rdma_getaddrinfo, a
user may use this call to allocate an rdma_cm_id based on the
results.
If the rdma_cm_id will be used on the active side of a
connection, meaning that res->ai_flag does not have RAI_PASSIVE
set, rdma_create_ep will automatically create a QP on the
rdma_cm_id if qp_init_attr is not NULL. The QP will be
associated with the specified protection domain, if provided, or
a default protection domain if not. Users should see
rdma_create_qp for details on the use of the pd and qp_init_attr
parameters. After calling rdma_create_ep, the returned
rdma_cm_id may be connected by calling rdma_connect. The active
side calls rdma_resolve_addr and rdma_resolve_route are not
necessary.
If the rdma_cm_id will be used on the passive side of a
connection, indicated by having res->ai_flag RAI_PASSIVE set,
this call will save the provided pd and qp_init_attr parameters.
When a new connection request is retrieved by calling
rdma_get_request, the rdma_cm_id associated with the new
connection will automatically be associated with a QP using the
pd and qp_init_attr parameters. After calling rdma_create_ep,
the returned rdma_cm_id may be placed into a listening state by
immediately calling rdma_listen. The passive side call
rdma_bind_addr is not necessary. Connection requests may then be
retrieved by calling rdma_get_request.
The newly created rdma_cm_id will be set to use synchronous
operation. Users that wish asynchronous operation must migrate
the rdma_cm_id to a user created event channel using
rdma_migrate_id.
Users must release the created rdma_cm_id by calling
rdma_destroy_ep.
