RDMA_CREATE_QP(3) Librdmacm Programmer's Manual RDMA_CREATE_QP(3)NAME
rdma_create_qp - Allocate a QP.
SYNOPSIS
#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>
int rdma_create_qp (struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct ibv_pd *pd, struct
ibv_qp_init_attr *qp_init_attr);
ARGUMENTS
id RDMA identifier.
pd Optional protection domain for the QP.
qp_init_attr
Initial QP attributes.
DESCRIPTION
Allocate a QP associated with the specified rdma_cm_id and transition
it for sending and receiving.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will
be set to indicate the failure reason.
NOTES
The rdma_cm_id must be bound to a local RDMA device before calling this
function, and the protection domain must be for that same device. QPs
allocated to an rdma_cm_id are automatically transitioned by the librd‐
macm through their states. After being allocated, the QP will be ready
to handle posting of receives. If the QP is unconnected, it will be
ready to post sends.
If a protection domain is not given - pd parameter is NULL - then the
rdma_cm_id will be created using a default protection domain. One
default protection domain is allocated per RDMA device.
The initial QP attributes are specified by the qp_init_attr parameter.
The send_cq and recv_cq fields in the ibv_qp_init_attr are optional.
If a send or receive completion queue is not specified, then a CQ will
be allocated by the rdma_cm for the QP, along with corresponding com‐
pletion channels. Completion channels and CQ data created by the
rdma_cm are exposed to the user through the rdma_cm_id structure.
The actual capabilities and properties of the created QP will be
returned to the user through the qp_init_attr parameter. An rdma_cm_id
may only be associated with a single QP.
