RDMA_GET_CM_EVENT(3)    Librdmacm Programmer's Manual   RDMA_GET_CM_EVENT(3)

NAME top

       rdma_get_cm_event - Retrieves the next pending communication event.

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>

       int rdma_get_cm_event (struct rdma_event_channel *channel, struct
       rdma_cm_event **event);

ARGUMENTS top

       channel     Event channel to check for events.

       event       Allocated information about the next communication event.

DESCRIPTION top

       Retrieves a communication event.  If no events are pending, by
       default, the call will block until an event is received.

RETURN VALUE top

       Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error.  If an error occurs, errno will
       be set to indicate the failure reason.

NOTES top

       The default synchronous behavior of this routine can be changed by
       modifying the file descriptor associated with the given channel.  All
       events that are reported must be acknowledged by calling
       rdma_ack_cm_event.  Destruction of an rdma_cm_id will block until
       related events have been acknowledged.

EVENT DATA top

       Communication event details are returned in the rdma_cm_event
       structure.  This structure is allocated by the rdma_cm and released
       by the rdma_ack_cm_event routine.  Details of the rdma_cm_event
       structure are given below.

       id          The rdma_cm identifier associated with the event.  If the
                   event type is RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST, then this
                   references a new id for that communication.

       listen_id   For RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST event types, this
                   references the corresponding listening request
                   identifier.

       event       Specifies the type of communication event which occurred.
                   See EVENT TYPES below.

       status      Returns any asynchronous error information associated
                   with an event.  The status is zero if the operation was
                   successful, otherwise the status value is non-zero and is
                   either set to an errno or a transport specific value.
                   For details on transport specific status values, see the
                   event type information below.

       param       Provides additional details based on the type of event.
                   Users should select the conn or ud subfields based on the
                   rdma_port_space of the rdma_cm_id associated with the
                   event.  See UD EVENT DATA and CONN EVENT DATA below.

UD EVENT DATA top

       Event parameters related to unreliable datagram (UD) services:
       RDMA_PS_UDP and RDMA_PS_IPOIB.  The UD event data is valid for
       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED and RDMA_CM_EVENT_MULTICAST_JOIN events,
       unless stated otherwise.

       private_data
                   References any user-specified data associated with
                   RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST or
                   RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED events.  The data referenced by
                   this field matches that specified by the remote side when
                   calling rdma_connect or rdma_accept.  This field is NULL
                   if the event does not include private data.  The buffer
                   referenced by this pointer is deallocated when calling
                   rdma_ack_cm_event.

       private_data_len
                   The size of the private data buffer.  Users should note
                   that the size of the private data buffer may be larger
                   than the amount of private data sent by the remote side.
                   Any additional space in the buffer will be zeroed out.

       ah_attr     Address information needed to send data to the remote
                   endpoint(s).  Users should use this structure when
                   allocating their address handle.

       qp_num      QP number of the remote endpoint or multicast group.

       qkey        QKey needed to send data to the remote endpoint(s).

CONN EVENT DATA top

       Event parameters related to connected QP services: RDMA_PS_TCP.  The
       connection related event data is valid for
       RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST and RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED events,
       unless stated otherwise.

       private_data
                   References any user-specified data associated with the
                   event.  The data referenced by this field matches that
                   specified by the remote side when calling rdma_connect or
                   rdma_accept.  This field is NULL if the event does not
                   include private data.  The buffer referenced by this
                   pointer is deallocated when calling rdma_ack_cm_event.

       private_data_len
                   The size of the private data buffer.  Users should note
                   that the size of the private data buffer may be larger
                   than the amount of private data sent by the remote side.
                   Any additional space in the buffer will be zeroed out.

       responder_resources
                   The number of responder resources requested of the
                   recipient.  This field matches the initiator depth
                   specified by the remote node when calling rdma_connect
                   and rdma_accept.

       initiator_depth
                   The maximum number of outstanding RDMA read/atomic
                   operations that the recipient may have outstanding.  This
                   field matches the responder resources specified by the
                   remote node when calling rdma_connect and rdma_accept.

       flow_control
                   Indicates if hardware level flow control is provided by
                   the sender.

       retry_count For RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST events only, indicates
                   the number of times that the recipient should retry send
                   operations.

       rnr_retry_count
                   The number of times that the recipient should retry
                   receiver not ready (RNR) NACK errors.

       srq         Specifies if the sender is using a shared-receive queue.

       qp_num      Indicates the remote QP number for the connection.

EVENT TYPES top

       The following types of communication events may be reported.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_RESOLVED
              Address resolution (rdma_resolve_addr) completed successfully.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_ERROR
              Address resolution (rdma_resolve_addr) failed.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_RESOLVED
              Route resolution (rdma_resolve_route) completed successfully.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_ERROR
              Route resolution (rdma_resolve_route) failed.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST
              Generated on the passive side to notify the user of a new
              connection request.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_RESPONSE
              Generated on the active side to notify the user of a
              successful response to a connection request.  It is only
              generated on rdma_cm_id's that do not have a QP associated
              with them.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR
              Indicates that an error has occurred trying to establish or a
              connection.  May be generated on the active or passive side of
              a connection.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_UNREACHABLE
              Generated on the active side to notify the user that the
              remote server is not reachable or unable to respond to a
              connection request.  If this event is generated in response to
              a UD QP resolution request over InfiniBand, the event status
              field will contain an errno, if negative, or the status result
              carried in the IB CM SIDR REP message.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_REJECTED
              Indicates that a connection request or response was rejected
              by the remote end point.  The event status field will contain
              the transport specific reject reason if available.  Under
              InfiniBand, this is the reject reason carried in the IB CM REJ
              message.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED
              Indicates that a connection has been established with the
              remote end point.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED
              The connection has been disconnected.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_DEVICE_REMOVAL
              The local RDMA device associated with the rdma_cm_id has been
              removed.  Upon receiving this event, the user must destroy the
              related rdma_cm_id.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_MULTICAST_JOIN
              The multicast join operation (rdma_join_multicast) completed
              successfully.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_MULTICAST_ERROR
              An error either occurred joining a multicast group, or, if the
              group had already been joined, on an existing group.  The
              specified multicast group is no longer accessible and should
              be rejoined, if desired.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE
              The network device associated with this ID through address
              resolution changed its HW address, eg following of bonding
              failover. This event can serve as a hint for applications who
              want the links used for their RDMA sessions to align with the
              network stack.

       RDMA_CM_EVENT_TIMEWAIT_EXIT
              The QP associated with a connection has exited its timewait
              state and is now ready to be re-used.  After a QP has been
              disconnected, it is maintained in a timewait state to allow
              any in flight packets to exit the network.  After the timewait
              state has completed, the rdma_cm will report this event.
