NAME

rpma_recv - initiate the receive operation

SYNOPSIS

      #include <librpma.h>
      struct rpma_conn;
      struct rpma_mr_local;
      int rpma_recv(struct rpma_conn *conn, struct rpma_mr_local *dst, size_t offset, size_t len,
                      const void *op_context);

DESCRIPTION

rpma_recv() initiates the receive operation which prepares a buffer for a message sent from other side of the connection. Please see rpma_send(3).

All buffers prepared via rpma_recv(3) form an unordered set. When a message arrives it is placed in one of the buffers awaitaning and a completion for the receive operation is generated.

A buffer for an incoming message have to be prepared beforehand.

The order of buffers in the set does not affect the order of completions of receive operations get via rpma_cq_get_wc(3).

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

NOTE

In the RDMA standard, receive requests form an ordered queue. The RPMA does NOT inherit this guarantee.

RETURN VALUE

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