📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ib_open_qp(9) — or, how to slide into an existing QP's DMs ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9. Yes we're in the kernel section, yes it's giving serious main character energy, and yes this page is short — but it's iconic short, not lazy short. Let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ib_open_qp — literally just obtain a reference to an existing sharable QP. That's the whole vibe. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ib_qp * ib_open_qp (struct ib_xrcd *xrcd , struct ib_qp_open_attr
*qp_open_attr );

Two arguments, one struct pointer back. Simple. Clean. Ate. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xrcd — the XRC domain. Like, this is the neighborhood your QP lives in 🏡
  • qp_open_attr — the attributes identifying the QP to open. Basically the little ID card you hand over so the kernel knows which QP you're talking about 🪪

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns a reference to a sharable QP.

That's it. That's the description. Short king behavior, honestly 👑 It gives you back a reference — you're now officially entangled with that QP, iykyk 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./include/rdma/ib_verbs.h — and then, bestie, the guest list is long. Like, red-carpet-long. Enjoy the parade 🌈

And that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and fully booked with cross-references 💖 This lil' cutie comes to you courtesy of ./include/rdma, dated October 2026. Sending you off with a kiss, a curtsy, and a struct ib_qp * 🧚✨
