NAME

       rdma_set_option - Set communication options for an rdma_cm_id.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>

       int rdma_set_option (struct rdma_cm_id *id, int level, int optname, void *optval, size_t optlen);

ARGUMENTS

       id          RDMA identifier.

       level       Protocol level of the option to set.

       optname     Name of the option, relative to the level, to set.

       optval      Reference to the option data.  The data is dependent on the level and optname.

       optlen      The size of the %optval buffer.

DESCRIPTION

       Sets communication options for an rdma_cm_id.  This call is used to override the default system settings.

       optname can be one of

       RDMA_OPTION_ID_TOS
                   Specify  the  quality  of  service  provided by a connection.  The expected optlen is size of
                   uint8_t.

       RDMA_OPTION_ID_REUSEADDR
                   Bound the rdma_cm_id to a reuseable address. This will allow other users to bind to that same
                   address.  The expected optlen is size of int.

       RDMA_OPTION_ID_AFONLY
                   Set IPV6_V6ONLY socket.  The expected optlen is size of int.

       RDMA_OPTION_IB_PATH
                   Set IB path record data.  The expected optlen is size of struct ibv_path_data[].

       RDMA_OPTION_ID_ACK_TIMEOUT
                   Set QP ACK timeout.  The value calculated according to the formula  4.096  *  2^(ack_timeout)
                   usec.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  0  on  success,  or  -1 on error.  If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure
       reason.
