#include <dat/udat.h>
DAT_RETURN
dat_cr_accept (
IN DAT_CR_HANDLE cr_handle,
IN DAT_EP_HANDLE ep_handle,
IN DAT_COUNT private_data_size,
IN const DAT_PVOID private_data
)
PARAMETERS
cr_handle Handle to an instance of a Connection Request that
the Consumer is accepting.
ep_handle Handle for an instance of a local Endpoint that
the Consumer is accepting the Connection Request
on. If the local Endpoint is specified by the Con‐
nection Request, the ep_handle shall be DAT_HAN‐
DLE_NULL.
private_data_size Size of the private_data, which must be nonnega‐
tive.
private_data Pointer to the private data that should be pro‐
vided to the remote Consumer when the Connection
is established. If private_data_size is zero, then
private_data can be NULL.
DESCRIPTION
The dat_cr_accept() function establishes a Connection between the
active remote side requesting Endpoint and the passive side local End‐
point. The local Endpoint is either specified explicitly by ep_handle
or implicitly by a Connection Request. In the second case, ep_handle is
DAT_HANDLE_NULL.
Consumers can specify private data that is provided to the remote side
upon Connection establishment.
If the provided local Endpoint does not satisfy the requested Connec‐
tion Request, the operation fails without any effect on the local End‐
point, Pending Connection Request, private data, or remote Endpoint.
The operation is asynchronous. The successful completion of the opera‐
tion is reported through a Connection Event of type DAT_CONNEC‐
TION_EVENT_ESTABLISHED on the connect_evd of the local Endpoint.
If the Provider cannot complete the Connection establishment, the con‐
nection is not established and the Consumer is notified through a Con‐
nection Event of type DAT_CONNECTION_EVENT_ACCEPT_COMPLETION_ERROR on
the connect_evd of the local Endpoint. It can be caused by the active
side timeout expiration, transport error, or any other reason. If Con‐
nection is not established, Endpoint transitions into Disconnected
state and all posted Recv DTOs are flushed to its recv_evd_handle.
This operation, if successful, also destroys the Connection Request
instance. Use of the handle of the destroyed cr_handle in any conse‐
quent operation fails.
RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful.
DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The cr_handle or ep_handle parameter is
invalid.
DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER The private_data_size or private_data parame‐
ter is invalid, out of range, or a combination
of parameters was invalid
USAGE
Consumers should be aware that Connection establishment might fail in
the following cases: If the accepting Endpoint has an outstanding RDMA
Read outgoing attribute larger than the requesting remote Endpoint or
outstanding RDMA Read incoming attribute, or if the outstanding RDMA
Read incoming attribute is smaller than the requesting remote Endpoint
or outstanding RDMA Read outgoing attribute.
Consumers should set the accepting Endpoint RDMA Reads as the target
(incoming) to a number larger than or equal to the remote Endpoint RDMA
Read outstanding as the originator (outgoing), and the accepting End‐
point RDMA Reads as the originator to a number smaller than or equal to
the remote Endpoint RDMA Read outstanding as the target. DAT API does
not define a protocol on how remote peers exchange Endpoint attributes.
The exchange of outstanding RDMA Read incoming and outgoing attributes
of EPs is left to the Consumer ULP. Consumer can use Private Data for
it.
If the Consumer does not care about posting RDMA Read operations or
remote RDMA Read operations on the connection, it can set the two out‐
standing RDMA Read attribute values to 0.
If the Consumer does not set the two outstanding RDMA Read attributes
of the Endpoint, the Provider is free to pick up any value for default.
The Provider can change these default values during connection setup.
