NAME

ibv_create_cq_ex - create a completion queue (CQ)  

SYNOPSIS

#include <infiniband/verbs.h>

struct ibv_cq_ex *ibv_create_cq_ex(struct ibv_context *context,
                                   struct ibv_cq_init_attr_ex *cq_attr);
 

DESCRIPTION

ibv_create_cq_ex() creates a completion queue (CQ) for RDMA device context context. The argument cq_attr is a pointer to struct ibv_cq_init_attr_ex as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

struct ibv_cq_init_attr_ex {
int                     cqe;               /* Minimum number of entries required for CQ */

struct ibv_comp_channel *channel;          /* Completion channel where completion events will be queued. May be NULL if completion events will not be used. */
int                     comp_vector;       /* Completion vector used to signal completion events. Must be >= 0 and < context->num_comp_vectors. */
uint64_t                wc_flags;          /* The wc_flags that should be returned in ibv_poll_cq_ex. Or'ed bit of enum ibv_wc_flags_ex. */
uint32_t                comp_mask;         /* compatibility mask (extended verb). */
uint32_t                flags              /* One or more flags from enum ibv_create_cq_attr_flags */
struct ibv_pd           *parent_domain;    /* Parent domain to be used by this CQ */

        IBV_WC_EX_WITH_FLOW_TAG              = 1 << 9,  /* Require flow tag in WC */
        IBV_WC_EX_WITH_COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP_WALLCLOCK  = 1 << 11, /* Require completion wallclock timestamp in WC */
};

        IBV_CQ_INIT_ATTR_MASK_FLAGS             = 1 << 0,
        IBV_CQ_INIT_ATTR_MASK_PD                = 1 << 1,
};

enum ibv_create_cq_attr_flags {
        IBV_CREATE_CQ_ATTR_SINGLE_THREADED      = 1 << 0, /* This CQ is used from a single threaded, thus no locking is required */
        IBV_CREATE_CQ_ATTR_IGNORE_OVERRUN       = 1 << 1, /* This CQ will not pass to error state if overrun, CQE always will be written to next entry.
                                                           * An application must be designed to avoid ever overflowing the CQ, otherwise CQEs might be lost.
                                                           */

Polling an extended CQ

In order to poll an extended CQ efficiently, a user could use the following functions.

Completion iterator functions

int ibv_start_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq, struct ibv_poll_cq_attr *attr)
Start polling a batch of work completions. attr is given in order to make this function easily extensible in the future. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll shouldn't be called.

int ibv_next_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq)
This function is called in order to get the next work completion. It has to be called after start_poll and before end_poll are called. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll should still be called, indicating this is the end of the polled batch.

void ibv_end_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq)
This function indicates the end of polling batch of work completions. After calling this function, the user should start a new batch by calling start_poll.

Polling fields in the completion
Below members and functions are used in order to poll the current completion. The current completion is the completion which the iterator points to (start_poll and next_poll advances this iterator). Only fields that the user requested via wc_flags in ibv_create_cq_ex could be queried. In addition, some fields are only valid in certain opcodes and status codes.

uint64_t wr_id - Can be accessed directly from struct ibv_cq_ex.

uint64_t ibv_wc_read_completion_wallclock_ns(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq); Get the completion timestamp from the current completion and convert it from HCA clock units to wall clock nanoseconds.

uint16_t ibv_wc_read_cvlan(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq);
 Get the CVLAN field from the current completion.

uint32_t ibv_wc_read_flow_tag(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq);

void ibv_wc_read_tm_info(struct ibv_cq_ex *cq, struct ibv_wc_tm_info *tm_info);
 Get tag matching info from the current completion.

struct ibv_wc_tm_info {
uint64_t tag;  /* tag from TMH */
uint32_t priv; /* opaque user data from TMH */
};

 

RETURN VALUE

ibv_create_cq_ex() returns a pointer to the CQ, or NULL if the request fails.  

NOTES

ibv_create_cq_ex() may create a CQ with size greater than or equal to the requested size. Check the cqe attribute in the returned CQ for the actual size.

CQ should be destroyed with ibv_destroy_cq.
