NAME

rpma_write - initiate the write operation

SYNOPSIS

      #include <librpma.h>


      struct rpma_conn;


      struct rpma_mr_local;


      struct rpma_mr_remote;


      int rpma_write(struct rpma_conn *conn,


                      struct rpma_mr_remote *dst, size_t dst_offset,


                      const struct rpma_mr_local *src, size_t src_offset,


                      size_t len, int flags, const void *op_context);

DESCRIPTION

rpma_write() initiates transferring data from the local memory to the remote memory. To write a 0 bytes message, set src and dst to NULL and src_offset, dst_offset and len to 0.

The attribute flags set the completion notification indicator:

• RPMA_F_COMPLETION_ON_ERROR - generate the completion on error
• RPMA_F_COMPLETION_ALWAYS - generate the completion regardless of result of the operation.

op_context is returned in the wr_id field of the completion (struct ibv_wc).

RETURN VALUE

The rpma_write() function returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure.

ERRORS

rpma_write() can fail with the following errors:

• RPMA_E_INVAL - conn == NULL || flags == 0
• RPMA_E_INVAL - dst == NULL && (src != NULL || src_offset != 0 || dst_offset != 0 || len != 0)
• RPMA_E_INVAL - src == NULL && (dst != NULL || src_offset != 0 || dst_offset != 0 || len != 0)
• RPMA_E_PROVIDER - ibv_post_send(3) failed
