NAME
ibv_create_qp_ex, ibv_destroy_qp - create or destroy a queue pair (QP)

SYNOPSIS
#include <infiniband/verbs.h>

struct ibv_qp *ibv_create_qp_ex(struct ibv_context *context,
                                struct ibv_qp_init_attr_ex *qp_init_attr);

int ibv_destroy_qp(struct ibv_qp *qp);

DESCRIPTION
ibv_create_qp_ex() creates a queue pair (QP) associated with the protection domain pd. The argument qp_init_attr_ex is an ibv_qp_init_attr_ex struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

The function ibv_create_qp_ex() will update the qp_init_attr_ex->cap struct with the actual QP values of the QP that was created; the values will be greater than or equal to the values requested.

ibv_destroy_qp() destroys the QP qp.

RETURN VALUE
ibv_create_qp_ex() returns a pointer to the created QP, or NULL if the request fails. Check the QP number (qp_num) in the returned QP.

ibv_destroy_qp() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).

NOTES

The attributes max_recv_wr and max_recv_sge are ignored by ibv_create_qp_ex() if the QP is to be associated with an SRQ.

The attribute source_qpn is supported only on UD QP, without flow steering RX should not be possible.

Use ibv_qp_to_qp_ex() to get the ibv_qp_ex for accessing the send ops iterator interface, when QP create attr IBV_QP_INIT_ATTR_SEND_OPS_FLAGS is used.

ibv_destroy_qp() fails if the QP is attached to a multicast group.

IBV_QPT_DRIVER does not represent a specific service and is used for vendor specific QP logic.
