IBV_MODIFY_QP(3) Libibverbs Programmer's Manual IBV_MODIFY_QP(3)

NAME

ibv_modify_qp - modify the attributes of a queue pair (QP)

SYNOPSIS

#include <infiniband/verbs.h>

int ibv_modify_qp(struct ibv_qp *qp, struct ibv_qp_attr *attr,
                  int attr_mask);

DESCRIPTION

ibv_modify_qp() modifies the attributes of QP qp with the attributes in attr according to the mask attr_mask. The argument attr is an ibv_qp_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

struct ibv_qp_attr {


enum ibv_qp_state       qp_state;               /* Move the QP to this state */

uint8_t                 max_dest_rd_atomic;     /* Number of responder resources for handling incoming RDMA reads & atomic operations (valid only for RC QPs) */
uint8_t                 min_rnr_timer;          /* Minimum RNR NAK timer (valid only for RC QPs) */
uint8_t                 port_num;               /* Primary port number */
uint8_t                 timeout;                /* Local ack timeout for primary path (valid only for RC QPs) */

uint8_t                 alt_timeout;            /* Local ack timeout for alternate path (valid only for RC QPs) */

The argument attr_mask specifies the QP attributes to be modified. The argument is either 0 or the bitwise OR of one or more of the following flags:

RETURN VALUE

ibv_modify_qp() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).

NOTES

If any of the modify attributes or the modify mask are invalid, none of the attributes will be modified (including the QP state).

Not all devices support resizing QPs. To check if a device supports it, check if the IBV_DEVICE_RESIZE_MAX_WR bit is set in the device capabilities flags.

Not all devices support alternate paths. To check if a device supports it, check if the IBV_DEVICE_AUTO_PATH_MIG bit is set in the device capabilities flags.

The following tables indicate for each QP Transport Service Type, the minimum list of attributes that must be changed upon transitioning QP state from: Reset --> Init --> RTR --> RTS.
