hfi1_rc_verbs_aborted(9)

💅 NAME 💅

hfi1_rc_verbs_aborted — bestie, this is the one that handles abort status ✨

Okay so real talk, the whole manual is hfi1_rc_verbs_aborted(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void hfi1_rc_verbs_aborted (struct rvt_qp *qp , struct hfi1_opa_header
*opah );

Like, that's the whole signature. No cap, that's it 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qp — the QP. literally the queue pair, that's the whole vibe 👑
• opah — the opa header. yes bestie, the opa header 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what this code does is it modifies both the ACK bit in BTH[2] and the s_flags, all so it can go into send one mode. Two things at once, main character energy fr fr 💅✨

And why, you ask? Because it serves to throttle the send engine to only send a single packet — which is exactly what you want in the likely case that a link has gone down 😭💀 Like, if the link's acting sus, don't spam it with packets. Just one. One packet. That's the whole mood. 🌸

ngl this is a "the link probably died so let's chill" situation and honestly? relatable 🙈
