To help with discussion, here is a new API that was added to the librdmacm to support AF_IB.
#define RAI_PASSIVE 1 struct rdma_addrinfo { int ai_flags; int ai_family; int ai_qp_type; int ai_port_space; socklen_t ai_src_len; socklen_t ai_dst_len; struct sockaddr *ai_src_addr; struct sockaddr *ai_dst_addr; char *ai_src_canonname; char *ai_dst_canonname; size_t ai_route_len; void *ai_route; size_t ai_connect_len; void *ai_connect; struct rdma_addrinfo *ai_next; }; int rdma_getaddrinfo(char *node, char *service, struct rdma_addrinfo *hints, struct rdma_addrinfo **res); The hope is that applications can replace calls to getaddrinfo with rdma_getaddrinfo. The output of getaddrinfo can be fed into the existing APIs, or apps can make use of a simpler routine which replaces rdma_create_id, rdma_bind_addr/rdma_resolve_addr, and rdma_resolve_route. int rdma_create_ep(struct rdma_cm_id **id, struct rdma_addrinfo *res, struct ibv_pd *pd, struct ibv_qp_init_attr *qp_init_attr); - Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
