rvt_reset_qp(9)
π rvt_reset_qp(9) β like, the Kernel API Manual one, bestie
okay so real talk: this is rvt_reset_qp(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a mood. it's a tiny function that does one very specific thing, and the way it does it is lowkey art. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
rvt_reset_qp β initialize the QP state to the reset state. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void rvt_reset_qp (struct rvt_dev_info *rdi , struct rvt_qp *qp , enum ib_qp_type type );
like, that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, no notes. she's void and she's thriving β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
rdiβ the device info, aka the ~vibe~ of the device you're working with. she's the main character of this call ngl.qpβ the QP to reset. yes queen, we're resetting this one specifically.typeβ the QP type. gotta know what kind of QP we're dealing with before we do anything π§
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so here's the tea: this is the wrapper function. and what does a wrapper do? it wraps. iconic behavior.
specifically, she goes and acquires the r_lock, the s_hlock, and the s_lock β all three, no cap β before calling _rvt_reset_qp. so like, the actual resetting happens elsewhere, but the locking? the locking is all her. she's the responsible friend who holds everyone's bags π«Ά
three locks. then _rvt_reset_qp. that's the whole flow. periodt. π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
so like, she has a lot of friends, and honestly? same energy. here's the full squad, all from the kernel file ./drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/qp.c:

like, forty-plus besties. she's connected. iykyk πβ¨
ngl the fact that the lock-acquiring part is the whole description is giving "my job here is done" energy and i respect it so much π
and that's the page, bestie π β brought to you by ./drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt, dated October 2026, and the page itself is rvt_reset_qp(9). go forth and reset those QPs responsibly πβ
