mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector - Man Page

mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector — Allocate an msi vector to be used for creating an EQ.

mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector — Release an msi vector.

#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>

struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector *
mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector(struct ibv_context *ibctx);

int mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector(struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector *msi);

Allocate or free an msi vector to be used for creating an EQ.

The allocate API exposes a mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector object, which includes an msi vector and a fd. The vector can be used as the “eqc.intr” field when creating an EQ, while the fd (created as non-blocking) can be polled to see once there is some data on that EQ.

ibctx

RDMA device context to create the action on.

msi

The msi vector object to work on.

struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector {
    int vector;
    int fd;
};

Upon success mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector will return a new struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector; On error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.

Upon success mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector will return 0, on error errno will be returned.
