ibv_query_port

Queries the attributes of an RDMA port.

Syntax

#include <rdma/verbs.h>
int ibv_query_port(struct ibv_context *context, uint8_t port_num, struct ibv_port_attr *port_attr)

Description

The ibv_query_port() function returns the attributes of port port_num for device context context through the pointer port_attr. The parameter port_attr is an ibv_port_attr struct, as defined in the <rdma/verbs.h> file.

The struct ibv_port_attr is as follows:
struct ibv_port_attr {
enum ibv_port_state     state;          /* Logical port state */
enum ibv_mtu            max_mtu;        /* Max MTU supported by port */
enum ibv_mtu            active_mtu;     /* Actual MTU */
int                     gid_tbl_len;    /* Length of source GID table */
uint32_t                port_cap_flags; /* Port capabilities */
uint32_t                max_msg_sz;     /* Maximum message size */
uint32_t                bad_pkey_cntr;  /* Bad P_Key counter */
uint32_t                qkey_viol_cntr; /* Q_Key violation counter */
uint16_t                pkey_tbl_len;   /* Length of partition table */
uint16_t                lid;            /* Base port LID */
uint16_t                sm_lid;         /* SM LID */
uint8_t                 lmc;            /* LMC of LID */
uint8_t                 max_vl_num;     /* Maximum number of VLs */
uint8_t                 sm_sl;          /* SM service level */
uint8_t                 subnet_timeout; /* Subnet propagation delay */
uint8_t                 init_type_reply;/* Type of initialization performed by SM */
uint8_t                 active_width;   /* Currently active link width */
uint8_t                 active_speed;   /* Currently active link speed */
uint8_t                 phys_state;     /* Physical port state */
uint8_t                 link_layer;     /* link layer protocol of the port */
};

Input Parameters

Item Description
context Specifies the struct ibv_context from the ibv_open_device function.

Output Parameter

Item Description
port_attr Specifies the struct ibv_port_attr that contains the port attributes.

Return Values

Item Description
0 On success.
errno On failure.
