πŸ’… rvt_qp_wqe_unreserve(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for rvt_qp_wqe_unreserve(9), and it's basically the little cleanup step that says β€œwe're done reserving, bestie.” ✨


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

rvt_qp_wqe_unreserve β€” clean reserved operation 🧼

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rvt_qp_wqe_unreserve (struct rvt_qp *qp , int flags );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • qp β€” the rvt qp. that's the star of the show here πŸ’…
  • flags β€” send wqe flags. yes, those flags πŸŽ€

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so what does it actually do? this decrements the reserve use count. that's the whole vibe. iconic, lowkey crucial. πŸ’–

okay this part is MUST-level important: this call MUST precede the change to s_last to insure that post send sees a stable s_avail. no cap, the order matters. 😭

an smp_mp__after_atomic is used to insure the compiler does not juggle the order of the s_last ring index and the decrementing of s_reserved_used. literally keeping the compiler from doing chaotic little reorder shenanigans. 🫢
