NAME

       ibv_open_qp - open a shareable queue pair (QP)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       struct ibv_qp *ibv_open_qp(struct ibv_context *context,
                                  struct ibv_qp_open_attr *qp_open_attr);

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_open_qp()  opens  an  existing queue pair (QP) associated with the extended protection
       domain xrcd.  The argument qp_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.

RETURN VALUE

       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.

NOTES

       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.
