Receiving MADs
- MADs are received using read(). The buffer passed to read() must be
- large enough to hold at least one struct ib_user_mad. For example:
-
- struct ib_user_mad mad;
- ret = read(fd, &mad, sizeof mad);
- if (ret != sizeof mad)
+ MADs are received using read(). The receive side now supports
+ RMPP. The buffer passed to read() must be at least one
+ struct ib_user_mad + 256 bytes. For example:
+
+ If the buffer passed is not large enough to hold the received
+ MAD (RMPP), the errno is set to ENOSPC and the length of the
+ buffer needed is set in mad.length.
+
+ Example for normal MAD (non RMPP) reads:
+ struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+ mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+ ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);
+ if (ret != sizeof mad + 256) {
+ perror("read");
+ free(mad);
+ }
+
+ Example for RMPP reads:
+ struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+ mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+ ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);
+ if (ret == -ENOSPC)) {
+ length = mad.length;
+ free(mad);
+ mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + length);
+ ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + length);
+ }
+ if (ret < 0) {
perror("read");
+ free(mad);
+ }
In addition to the actual MAD contents, the other struct ib_user_mad
fields will be filled in with information on the received MAD. For
MADs are sent using write(). The agent ID for sending should be
filled into the id field of the MAD, the destination LID should be
- filled into the lid field, and so on. For example:
+ filled into the lid field, and so on. The send side does support
+ RMPP so arbitrary length MAD can be sent. For example:
+
+ struct ib_user_mad *mad;
- struct ib_user_mad mad;
+ mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + mad_length);
- /* fill in mad.data */
+ /* fill in mad->data */
- mad.id = my_agent; /* req.id from agent registration */
- mad.lid = my_dest; /* in network byte order... */
+ mad->hdr.id = my_agent; /* req.id from agent registration */
+ mad->hdr.lid = my_dest; /* in network byte order... */
/* etc. */
- ret = write(fd, &mad, sizeof mad);
- if (ret != sizeof mad)
+ ret = write(fd, &mad, sizeof *mad + mad_length);
+ if (ret != sizeof *mad + mad_length)
perror("write");
