IBV_OPEN_QP(3) Libibverbs Programmer's ManualIBV_OPEN_QP(3)ibv_open_qp - open a shareable queue pair (QP)
#include <infiniband/verbs.h>struct ibv_qp *ibv_open_qp(struct ibv_context*context,struct ibv_qp_open_attr*qp_open_attr);
ibv_open_qp()opens an existing queue pair (QP) associated with the extended protection domainxrcd. The argumentqp_open_attr is an ibv_qp_open_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>. struct ibv_qp_open_attr { uint32_t comp_mask; /* Identifies valid fields */ uint32_t qp_num; /* QP number */ struct *ibv_xrcd; /* XRC domain */ void *qp_context; /* User defined opaque value */ enum ibv_qp_type qp_type; /* QP transport service type */ibv_destroy_qp()closes the opened QP and destroys the underlying QP if it has no other references.qp.ibv_open_qp()returns a pointer to the opened QP, or NULL if the request fails. Check the QP number (qp_num) in the returned QP.
ibv_open_qp()will fail if a it is asked to open a QP that does not exist within the xrcd with the specified qp_num and qp_type.
