rdma_set_ib_path(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so this is rdma_set_ib_path(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual — and it manually sets the path record used to establish a connection. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rdma_set_ib_path (struct rdma_cm_id *id , struct sa_path_rec
       *path_rec );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• id — the connection identifier associated with the request. it's literally the connection's li'l ID badge 🪪💖
• path_rec — a reference to the path record. the routing info's home address, bestie 📍🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This call permits a user to specify routing information for rdma_cm_id's bound to InfiniBand devices. no cap, that's the whole vibe 🔥

It is called on the client side of a connection and replaces the call to rdma_resolve_route. so instead of letting route resolution do its thing, you're setting the path record manually — main character energy fr fr 👑💫

lowkey important: this is the manual route-setting move for InfiniBand-bound rdma_cm_ids. periodt. 💅
