NAME

       ibv_post_srq_recv - post a list of work requests (WRs) to a shared receive queue (SRQ)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       int ibv_post_srq_recv(struct ibv_srq *srq, struct ibv_recv_wr *wr,
                             struct ibv_recv_wr **bad_wr);

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_post_srq_recv()  posts  the linked list of work requests (WRs) starting with wr to the shared receive
       queue (SRQ) srq.  It stops processing WRs from this list at the  first  failure  (that  can  be  detected
       immediately while requests are being posted), and returns this failing WR through bad_wr.

       The argument wr is an ibv_recv_wr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

       struct ibv_recv_wr {
               uint64_t                wr_id;     /* User defined WR ID */
               struct ibv_recv_wr     *next;      /* Pointer to next WR in list, NULL if last WR */
               struct ibv_sge         *sg_list;   /* Pointer to the s/g array */
               int                     num_sge;   /* Size of the s/g array */
       };

       struct ibv_sge {
               uint64_t                addr;      /* Start address of the local memory buffer */
               uint32_t                length;    /* Length of the buffer */
               uint32_t                lkey;      /* Key of the local Memory Region */
       };

RETURN VALUE

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

NOTES

       The buffers used by a WR can only be safely reused after WR the request is  fully  executed  and  a  work
       completion has been retrieved from the corresponding completion queue (CQ).

       If  a  WR  is  being  posted  to a UD QP, the Global Routing Header (GRH) of the incoming message will be
       placed in the first 40 bytes of the buffer(s) in the scatter list.  If no GRH is present in the  incoming
       message,  then  the  first bytes will be undefined.  This means that in all cases, the actual data of the
       incoming message will start at an offset of 40 bytes into the buffer(s) in the scatter list.
