.SH NAME
rdma_accept \- Called to accept a connection request.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>"
.P
.B "int" rdma_accept
.BI "(struct rdma_cm_id *" id ","
.BI "struct rdma_conn_param *" conn_param ");"
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP "id" 12
Connection identifier associated with the request.
.IP "conn_param" 12
Information needed to establish the connection.  See CONNECTION PROPERTIES
below for details.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Called from the listening side to accept a connection or datagram
service lookup request.
.SH "NOTES"
Unlike the socket accept routine, rdma_accept is not called on a
listening rdma_cm_id.  Instead, after calling rdma_listen, the user
waits for an RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REQUEST event to occur.  Connection request
events give the user a newly created rdma_cm_id, similar to a new
socket, but the rdma_cm_id is bound to a specific RDMA device.
rdma_accept is called on the new rdma_cm_id.
.SH "CONNECTION PROPERTIES"
The following properties are used to configure the communication and specified
by the conn_param parameter when accepting a connection or datagram
communication request.  Users should use the rdma_conn_param values reported
in the connection request event to determine appropriate values for these
fields when accepting.  Users may reference the rdma_conn_param structure in
the connection event directly, or can reference their own structure.  If the
rdma_conn_param structure from an event is referenced, the event must not be
acked until after this call returns.
.IP private_data
References a user-controlled data buffer.  The contents of the buffer are
copied and transparently passed to the remote side as part of the
communication request.  May be NULL if private_data is not required.
.IP private_data_len
Specifies the size of the user-controlled data buffer.  Note that the actual
amount of data transferred to the remote side is transport dependent and may
be larger than that requested.
.IP responder_resources
The maximum number of outstanding RDMA read and atomic operations that the
local side will accept from the remote side.  Applies only to RDMA_PS_TCP.
This value must be less than or equal to the local RDMA device attribute
max_qp_rd_atom and the responder_resources value reported in the connect
request event.
.IP initiator_depth
The maximum number of outstanding RDMA read and atomic operations that the
local side will have to the remote side.  Applies only to RDMA_PS_TCP.
This value must be less than or equal to the local RDMA device attribute
max_qp_init_rd_atom and the initiator_depth value reported in the connect
request event.
.IP flow_control
Specifies if hardware flow control is available.  This value is exchanged
with the remote peer and is not used to configure the QP.  Applies only to
RDMA_PS_TCP.
.IP retry_count
This value is ignored.
.IP rnr_retry_count
The maximum number of times that a send operation from the remote peer
should be retried on a connection after receiving a receiver not ready (RNR)
error.  RNR errors are generated when a send request arrives before a buffer
has been posted to receive the incoming data.  Applies only to RDMA_PS_TCP.
.IP srq
Specifies if the QP associated with the connection is using a shared receive
queue.  This field is ignored by the library if a QP has been created on the
rdma_cm_id.  Applies only to RDMA_PS_TCP.
.IP qp_num
Specifies the QP number associated with the connection.  This field is ignored
by the library if a QP has been created on the rdma_cm_id.
.SH "INFINIBAND SPECIFIC"
In addition to the connection properties defined above, InfiniBand QPs are
configured with minimum RNR NAK timer and local ACK timeout values.  The
minimum RNR NAK timer value is set to 0, for a delay of 655 ms.
The local ACK timeout is calculated based on the packet lifetime and local
HCA ACK delay.  The packet lifetime is determined by the InfiniBand Subnet
Administrator and is part of the route (path record) information obtained
by the active side of the connection.  The HCA ACK delay is a property of
the locally used HCA.
.P
The RNR retry count is a 3-bit value.
