NAME

mlx5dv_create_qp - creates a queue pair (QP)

SYNOPSIS

#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
struct ibv_qp *mlx5dv_create_qp(struct ibv_context         *context,
                                struct ibv_qp_init_attr_ex *qp_attr,
                                struct mlx5dv_qp_init_attr *mlx5_qp_attr)

DESCRIPTION

mlx5dv_create_qp() creates a queue pair (QP) with specific driver properties.

ARGUMENTS

Please see ibv_create_qp_ex(3) man page for context and qp_attr.

mlx5_qp_attr

struct mlx5dv_qp_init_attr {
    uint64_t comp_mask;
    uint32_t create_flags;
    struct mlx5dv_dc_init_attr  dc_init_attr;
};
Bitmask specifying what fields in the structure are valid: MLX5DV_QP_INIT_ATTR_MASK_QP_CREATE_FLAGS: valid values in create_flags MLX5DV_QP_INIT_ATTR_MASK_DC: valid values in dc_init_attr
A bitwise OR of the various values described below.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_TUNNEL_OFFLOADS: Enable offloading such as checksum and LRO for incoming tunneling traffic.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_TIR_ALLOW_SELF_LOOPBACK_UC: Allow receiving loopback unicast traffic.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_TIR_ALLOW_SELF_LOOPBACK_MC: Allow receiving loopback multicast traffic.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_DISABLE_SCATTER_TO_CQE: Disable scatter to CQE feature which is enabled by default.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_ALLOW_SCATTER_TO_CQE: Allow scatter to CQE for requester even if the qp was not configured to signal all WRs.

MLX5DV_QP_CREATE_PACKET_BASED_CREDIT_MODE: Set QP to work in end-to-end packet-based credit, instead of the default message-based credits (IB spec. section 9.7.7.2).

It is the applications responsibility to make sure that the peer QP is configured with same mode.

DC init attributes.

dc_init_attr

struct mlx5dv_dc_init_attr {
    enum mlx5dv_dc_type dc_type;
    uint64_t dct_access_key;
};
MLX5DV_DCTYPE_DCT QP type: Target DC. MLX5DV_DCTYPE_DCI QP type: Initiator DC.
used to create a DCT QP.

RETURN VALUE

mlx5dv_create_qp() returns a pointer to the created QP, on error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.
