NAME

       ibv_create_comp_channel,  ibv_destroy_comp_channel  - create or destroy a completion event
       channel

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       struct ibv_comp_channel *ibv_create_comp_channel(struct ibv_context
                                                        *context);

       int ibv_destroy_comp_channel(struct ibv_comp_channel *channel);

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_create_comp_channel() creates a completion event channel for the RDMA  device  context
       context.

       ibv_destroy_comp_channel() destroys the completion event channel channel.

RETURN VALUE

       ibv_create_comp_channel()  returns  a  pointer to the created completion event channel, or
       NULL if the request fails.

       ibv_destroy_comp_channel() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on  failure  (which
       indicates the failure reason).

NOTES

       A  "completion  channel" is an abstraction introduced by libibverbs that does not exist in
       the InfiniBand Architecture verbs specification or RDMA Protocol Verbs  Specification.   A
       completion  channel  is  essentially  file  descriptor  that is used to deliver completion
       notifications to a userspace  process.   When  a  completion  event  is  generated  for  a
       completion  queue (CQ), the event is delivered via the completion channel attached to that
       CQ.  This may be useful to steer completion events to different threads by using  multiple
       completion channels.

       ibv_destroy_comp_channel() fails if any CQs are still associated with the completion event
       channel being destroyed.
