1,Include the necessary header files:
#include <infiniband/verbs.h>
2,Initialize the InfiniBand resources:
struct ibv_context* context;
struct ibv_pd* pd;
struct ibv_mr* mr;
struct ibv_qp* qp;
// Open the InfiniBand device and create a context
context = ibv_open_device(...);
// Allocate protection domain (pd)
pd = ibv_alloc_pd(context);
// Register memory region for RDMA read
mr = ibv_reg_mr(pd, buffer, buffer_size, IBV_ACCESS_REMOTE_READ);
// Create a queue pair (qp)
qp = ibv_create_qp(pd, ...);
3,Exchange necessary information with the target machine:
// Perform the necessary communication with the target machine to exchange information required for RDMA read.
// This may involve exchanging the QP information, memory addresses, and other connection details.
4,Post an RDMA read operation:
struct ibv_sge sge;
struct ibv_send_wr wr;
struct ibv_send_wr* bad_wr;
struct ibv_wc wc;
// Set up Scatter-Gather Entry (SGE)
sge.addr = (uintptr_t)local_buffer; // Local buffer address
sge.length = buffer_size; // Length of the buffer
sge.lkey = mr->lkey; // Local memory region key
// Set up Work Request (WR) for RDMA read
wr.wr_id = ...; // Optional work request identifier
wr.next = nullptr; // Pointer to next work request (if chaining)
wr.sg_list = &sge; // Scatter-Gather Entry array
wr.num_sge = 1; // Number of Scatter-Gather Entries
wr.opcode = IBV_WR_RDMA_READ; // RDMA read operation
wr.send_flags = IBV_SEND_SIGNALED; // Enable completion notification
wr.wr.rdma.remote_addr = remote_addr; // Remote memory region address
wr.wr.rdma.rkey = remote_key; // Remote memory region key
// Post the Work Request to the send queue
ibv_post_send(qp, &wr, &bad_wr);
// Wait for the completion of the RDMA read operation
ibv_poll_cq(qp->send_cq, 1, &wc);
5, Cleanup and release resources:
ibv_destroy_qp(qp);
ibv_dereg_mr(mr);
ibv_dealloc_pd(pd);
ibv_close_device(context);
