NAME top

       umad_send - send umad

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <infiniband/umad.h>

       int umad_send(int portid, int agentid, void *umad, int length, int timeout_ms, int retries);

DESCRIPTION top

       umad_send() sends length bytes from the specified umad buffer
       from the port specified by portid, and using the agent specified
       by agentid.

       The buffer can contain a RMPP transmission which is larger than a
       single MAD packet when the agentid specifies a class which
       utilizes RMPP and the header flags indicate RMPP is active.  NOTE
       currently only RMPPFlags.Active is meaningful in the header in
       user space.  All other RMPP fields are ignored.  The data section
       of the buffer will be sent in multiple RMPP MAD packets with
       headers built for the user.

       timeout_ms controls the solicited MADs behavior as follows: zero
       value means not solicited. Positive value makes kernel indicate
       timeout in milliseconds. If reply is not received within the
       specified value, the original buffer is returned in the read
       channel with the status field set (to non zero). Negative
       timeout_ms makes kernel wait forever for the reply.  retries
       indicates the number of times the MAD will be retried before
       giving up.

RETURN VALUE top

       umad_send() returns 0 on success; on error, errno is set and a
       negative value is returned as follows:
        -EINVAL invalid port handle or agentid
        -EIO    send operation failed
