The argument attr_mask specifies the QP attributes to be modified. The argument is either 0 or the bitwise OR of one or more of the following flags:

IBV_QP_STATE Modify qp_state

IBV_QP_CUR_STATE Set cur_qp_state

IBV_QP_EN_SQD_ASYNC_NOTIFY Set en_sqd_async_notify

IBV_QP_ACCESS_FLAGS Set qp_access_flags

IBV_QP_PKEY_INDEX Set pkey_index

IBV_QP_PORT Set port_num

IBV_QP_QKEY Set qkey

IBV_QP_AV Set ah_attr

IBV_QP_PATH_MTU Set path_mtu

IBV_QP_TIMEOUT Set timeout

IBV_QP_RETRY_CNT Set retry_cnt

IBV_QP_RNR_RETRY Set rnr_retry

IBV_QP_RQ_PSN Set rq_psn

IBV_QP_MAX_QP_RD_ATOMIC Set max_rd_atomic

IBV_QP_ALT_PATH Set the alternative path via: alt_ah_attr, alt_pkey_index, alt_port_num, alt_timeout

IBV_QP_MIN_RNR_TIMER Set min_rnr_timer

IBV_QP_SQ_PSN Set sq_psn

IBV_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC Set max_dest_rd_atomic

IBV_QP_PATH_MIG_STATE Set path_mig_state

IBV_QP_CAP Set cap

IBV_QP_DEST_QPN Set dest_qp_num

IBV_QP_RATE_LIMIT Set rate_limit

RETURN VALUE

NOTES

Not all devices support resizing QPs. To check if a device supports it, check if the IBV_DEVICE_RESIZE_MAX_WR bit is set in the device capabilities flags.

Not all devices support alternate paths. To check if a device supports it, check if the IBV_DEVICE_AUTO_PATH_MIG bit is set in the device capabilities flags.
