NAME
dat_ep_post_rdma_write - write all data to the remote data buffer

SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
#include <dat/udat.h>

DAT_RETURN
dat_ep_post_rdma_read (
IN DAT_EP_HANDLE ep_handle,
IN DAT_COUNT num_segments,
IN DAT_LMR_TRIPLET *local_iov,
IN DAT_DTO_COOKIE user_cookie,
IN DAT_RMR_TRIPLET *remote_buffer,
IN DAT_COMPLETION_FLAGS completion_flags
)

PARAMETERS
ep_handle Handle for an instance of the Endpoint.

num_segments Number of lmr_triplets in local_iov.

local_iov I/O Vector that specifies the local buffer from
which the data is transferred.

user_cookie User-provided cookie that is returned to the
Consumer at the completion of the RDMA Write.

remote_buffer A pointer to an RMR Triplet that specifies the
remote buffer from which the data is read.

completion_flags Flags for posted RDMA read. The default
DAT_COMPLETION_DEFAULT_FLAG is 0x00. Other val‐
ues are as follows:

Completion Suppression

DAT_COMPLETION_SUPPRESS_FLAG

0x01 Suppress successful Completion.

Notification of Completion

DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG

0x04 Non-notification completion. Local
Endpoint must be configured for
Notification Suppression.

Barrier Fence

DAT_COMPLETION_BARRIER_FENCE_FLAG

0x08 Request for Barrier Fence.

DESCRIPTION
The dat_ep_post_rdma_write() function requests the transfer of all the
data specified by the local_iov over the connection of the ep_handle
Endpoint into the remote_buffer.

The num_segments parameter specifies the number of segments in the
local_iov. The local_iov segments are traversed in the I/O Vector order
until all the data is transferred.

A Consumer must not modify the local_iov or its content until the DTO
is completed. When a Consumer does not adhere to this rule, the behav‐
ior of the Provider and the underlying Transport is not defined.
Providers that allow Consumers to get ownership of the local_iov but
not the memory it specifies back after the dat_ep_post_rdma_write()
returns should document this behavior and also specify its support in
Provider attributes. This behavior allows Consumers full control of the
local_iov after dat_ep_post_rdma_write() returns. Because this behavior
is not guaranteed by all Providers, portable Consumers should not rely
on this behavior. Consumers should not rely on the Provider copying
local_iov information.

The DAT_SUCCESS return of the dat_ep_post_rdma_write() is at least the
equivalent of posting an RDMA Write operation directly by native Trans‐
port. Providers should avoid resource allocation as part of
dat_ep_post_rdma_write() to ensure that this operation is nonblocking
and thread safe for an UpCall.

The completion of the posted RDMA Write is reported to the Consumer
asynchronously through a DTO Completion event based on the specified
completion_flags value. The value of DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG is
only valid if the Endpoint Request Completion Flags DAT_COMPLE‐
TION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG. Otherwise, DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.

The user_cookie allows Consumers to have unique identifiers for each
DTO. These identifiers are completely under user control and are opaque
to the Provider. There is no requirement on the Consumer that the value
user_cookie should be unique for each DTO. The user_cookie is returned
to the Consumer in the Completion event for the posted RDMA Write.

The operation is valid for the Endpoint in the DAT_EP_STATE_CONNECTED
and DAT_EP_STATE_DISCONNECTED states. If the operation returns success‐
fully for the Endpoint in the DAT_EP_STATE_DISCONNECTED state, the
posted RDMA Write is immediately flushed to request_evd_handle.

RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful.

DAT_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES The operation failed due to resource
limitations.

DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER Invalid parameter. For example, one of
the IOV segments pointed to a memory
outside its LMR.

DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The ep_handle parameter is invalid.

DAT_INVALID_STATE A parameter is in an invalid state.
Endpoint was not in the
DAT_EP_STATE_CONNECTED or
DAT_EP_STATE_DISCONNECTED state.

DAT_LENGTH_ERROR The size of the receiving buffer is too
small for sending buffer data. The size
of the remote buffer is too small for
the data of the local buffer.

DAT_PROTECTION_VIOLATION Protection violation for local or
remote memory access. Protection Zone
mismatch between either an LMR of one
of the local_iov segments and the local
Endpoint or the rmr_context and the
remote Endpoint.

DAT_PRIVILEGES_VIOLATION Privileges violation for local or
remote memory access. Either one of the
LMRs used in local_iov is invalid or
does not have the local read privi‐
leges, or rmr_context does not have the
remote write privileges.

USAGE
For best RDMA Write operation performance, the Consumer should align
each buffer segment of local_iov to the Optimal Buffer Alignment
attribute of the Provider. For portable applications, the Consumer
should align each buffer segment of local_iov to the DAT_OPTIMAL_ALIGN‐
MENT.
