RDMA_POST_SEND(3) Librdmacm Programmer's Manual RDMA_POST_SEND(3) NAME rdma_post_send - post a work request to send a message. SYNOPSIS #include <rdma/rdma_verbs.h> int rdma_post_send (struct rdma_cm_id *id, void *context, void *addr, size_t length, struct ibv_mr *mr, int flags); ARGUMENTS id A reference to a communication identifier where the message buffer will be posted. context User-defined context associated with the request. addr The address of the memory buffer to post. length The length of the memory buffer. mr Optional registered memory region associated with the posted buffer. flags Optional flags used to control the send operation. DESCRIPTION Posts a work request to the send queue of the queue pair associated with the rdma_cm_id. The contents of the posted buffer will be sent to the remote peer of a connection. RETURN VALUE Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure reason. NOTES The user is responsible for ensuring that the remote peer has queued a receive request before issuing the send operations. For a list of sup- ported flags, see ibv_post_send. Unless the send request is using in- line data, the message buffer must have been registered before being posted, with the mr parameter referencing the registration. The buffer must remain registered until the send completes. Send operations may not be posted to an rdma_cm_id or the corresponding queue pair until it has been connected. The user-defined context associated with the send request will be re- turned to the user through the work completion wr_id, work request identifier, field.
