IBV_CREATE_AH(3) Libibverbs Programmer's ManualIBV_CREATE_AH(3)ibv_create_ah, ibv_destroy_ah - create or destroy an address handle (AH)
#include <infiniband/verbs.h>struct ibv_ah *ibv_create_ah(struct ibv_pd*pd,struct ibv_ah_attr*attr);int ibv_destroy_ah(struct ibv_ah*ah);
ibv_create_ah()creates an address handle (AH) associated with the protection domainpd. The argumentattr is an ibv_ah_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>. struct ibv_ah_attr { struct ibv_global_route grh; /* Global Routing Header (GRH) attributes */ uint16_t dlid; /* Destination LID */ uint8_t sl; /* Service Level */ uint8_t src_path_bits; /* Source path bits */ uint8_t static_rate; /* Maximum static rate */ uint8_t is_global; /* GRH attributes are valid */ uint8_t port_num; /* Physical port number */ }; struct ibv_global_route { union ibv_gid dgid; /* Destination GID or MGID */ uint32_t flow_label; /* Flow label */ uint8_t sgid_index; /* Source GID index */ uint8_t hop_limit; /* Hop limit */ uint8_t traffic_class; /* Traffic class */ };ibv_destroy_ah()destroys the AHah.ibv_create_ah()returns a pointer to the created AH, or NULL if the request fails.
If port flag IBV_QPF_GRH_REQUIRED is set thenibv_create_ah()must be created with definition of 'struct ibv_ah_attr { .is_global = 1; .grh = {...}; }'.ibv_destroy_ah()returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).ibv_alloc_pd(3),ibv_init_ah_from_wc(3),ibv_create_ah_from_wc(3)
