[openib-general] Are verb intended to be thread safe?

2006-03-08 Thread Kevin Reilly
Was the intent that the openIB verbs be "thread safe" or was the intend that if thread safety was required it be implemented in the layers above the verbs. If there was a discussion on verb thread safety can somebody please point me to it? Since the verbs are a pretty low level access to IB I

Thanks Sean, I think the rdma_resolve_addr() does what we want. Translate a local IP to a ib_device structure that i can use in the ibverbs. What we want to do is pretty simple and we won't need to create a connection. Can we have a discussion on the timeframe for this? Kevin J. Reilly STSM,

2005-07-08 Thread Kevin Reilly
Thanks Sean and Roland for your response. You right it's not a primitive in the IB verbs or iWARP unless you think the verbs define a non-consuming poll(). Which is a stretch for sure. We fell into the trap of structuring with it because it was in VAPI and maybe other that coded over VAPI fell

Does gen2 user access lib have a way to peek at the CQ to see if it has entries on it like VAPI did? All i see is ways to pop an entry off the CQ. Kevin J. Reilly STSM, HPC Architecture -Federation/HPS Chief Engineer -HPC interconnect architect (office) 845-433-7976 (tieline) 8-293-7976 ___

[openib-general] Asynchronous Event notification and registration

2005-06-23 Thread Kevin Reilly
People need to excuse all my annoying startup questions. I just notices that the user space ib verbs lib doesn't have any functions to register completion or event handlers. Is the intent that the API will only support polling or are the asynchronous event handling stuff in somebodies branch

[openib-general] mapping between IP address and device name

Maybe somebody could help me understand the proper way to map between an IP address assigned to a port to the "device name" and "port number" in the gen2 architecture. If I have an IP address can I map it to a name that i get back from ibv_get_device_name() or pass to ibv_open_device().
