💅 rdma_resolve_addr(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the rdma_resolve_addr(9) page. this is from the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "glow-up for IP addresses" energy ✨ because it takes your boring old IP addresses and turns them into RDMA addresses. iconic behavior fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

rdma_resolve_addr — Resolve destination and optional source addresses from IP addresses to an RDMA address. If successful, the specified rdma_cm_id will be bound to a local device.

no cap, that last bit is the whole point — successful resolution means your rdma_cm_id gets bound to a local device. main character energy 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rdma_resolve_addr (struct rdma_cm_id *id , struct sockaddr *src_addr
, const struct sockaddr *dst_addr , unsigned long timeout_ms );

literally the whole vibe in one line 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • id — the RDMA identifier. your little handle for the whole operation, iykyk.
  • src_addr — source address information. this parameter may be NULL (it's optional, she's flexible 💅).
  • dst_addr — destination address information. like, where you're actually going, bestie.
  • timeout_ms — time to wait for resolution to complete. patience is a virtue but also it's a number of milliseconds ⏳.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file ./include/rdma/rdma_cm.h — and the whole friend group is here too, because nobody does RDMA alone 🫶:

bestie reminder: src_addr is allowed to be NULL, but dst_addr and id are not the vibe to leave blank bestie — they're the whole point 🌈

and that's the page! 💖 source is ./include/rdma and the date stamp says October 2026, filed under rdma_resolve_addr(9) in the Kernel API Manual. slay, go resolve some addresses ✨🎀
