libibumad:

Overview: libibumad provides the following functionality:
	* Provide information about the IB devices installed. This includes
		list of IB devices names, list of port, device and port
		attributes.
	* Basic user mode mad functions: open/close port,
		register/unregister, send/receive/poll mad, etc.
	* Umad packet helper functions.
	* debugging support.


Library objects:

umad_ca: encapsulate an IB device. Identified by CA_NAME.

umad_port: encapsulate an IB port within an IB device. Identified by CA_NAME
	and port number.

ib_umad_addr: IB destination address structure.

portid (int): opened port handle.

agentid (int): mad multiplexing agent handle.


Module management functions:

umad_init:

Synopsis:
	int umad_init(void)

Description: library main initialization function. Must be called before any
other call to the library. Return zero on success, -1 if the infiniband mad
class can't be opened, or the abi version doesn't match.

umad_done:

Synopsis:
	int umad_done(void)

Description: library main destruction function. library should not be called after calling this function. Return zero on success, -1 on errors.


IB devices and ports information functions:

umad_get_cas_names:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_get_cas_names(char cas[][UMAD_CA_NAME_LEN], int max);

Description: Fill 'cas' array with up to 'max' local ib devices (CAs) names.
The return value is the number of entries actually filled, or -1 on errors.

umad_get_ca_portguids:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_get_ca_portguids(char *ca_name, uint64_t *portguids,
				      int max);

Description: Fill 'portguids' array with up to 'max' port GUIDs belonging the
specified IB device 'ca_name', or to the default ib device if 'ca_name' is null.
The return value is the number of entries actually filled, or -1 on errors.

umad_get_ca:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_get_ca(char *ca_name, umad_ca_t *ca);

Description: Fill 'ca' structure with the ib device attributes specified by
'ca_name', or with the default ib device attributes if 'ca_name' is null.
Return zero on success, -1 on error.
Note that the library allocates memory for some of the 'ca' fields, and
therefore umad_release_ca() should be used to free these fields before the
'ca' structure can be de-allocated.

	umad_release_ca

umad_release_ca:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_release_ca(umad_ca_t *ca);

Description: de-allocated any fields within 'ca' that were allocated by
umad_get_ca(). Return zero on success, -1 on error.

See also:
	umad_get_ca

umad_get_port:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_get_port(char *ca_name, int portnum, umad_port_t *port);

Description: Fill the 'port' structure with the specified ib port attributes
specified by 'ca_name' and 'portnum', or the default port if 'ca_name' is null
and 'portnum' is zero. If only one of the 'ca_name' and 'portnum' are specified,
the other is used as a filter. For example, passing a null ca_name and 2 for the
portnum means - get a port from any of the local ib devices, as long as it is
the second port. Return zero on success, -1 on error.
Note that the library may use some reference scheme to support port caching
therefore umad_release_port() should be called before the 'port' structure can
be deallocated.

See also:
	umad_release_port

umad_release_port:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_release_port(umad_port_t *port);

Description: Notify the library that the 'port' that was filled by
umad_get_port() is not required anymore. Return zero on success, -1 on error.

See also:
	umad_get_port


Port oriented functions:

umad_open_port:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_open_port(char *ca_name, int portnum);

Description: Open the port specified by 'ca_name' and 'portnum' for umad IO.
The port is selected by the library if not all parameters are provided (see
umad_get_port() for details). Return non-negative portid handle (int) or
negative value on errors.

Errors:
	-ENODEV	ib device can't be resolved
	-EINVAL	port is not valid (bad 'portnum' or no umad device)
	-EIO	umad device for this port can't be opened

See also:
	umad_get_port

umad_close_port:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_close_port(int portid);

Description: Close the port specified by the handle 'portid'. Return 0 on
success and -EINVAL if the portid is not a handle to a valid (open) port.

See also:
	umad_open_port

Register/unregister functions:

umad_register:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_register(int portid, int mgmt_class,
			      int mgmt_version, uint32_t method_mask[4]);

Description: Register to the specified management class and version in the port
specified by the 'portid' handle. If 'method_mask' array is provided, the caller
is registered as a replier (server) for the methods having their coresponding
bit on in the 'method_mask'. If 'method_mask' is null, the caller is registered
as a mad client, meaning that it can only receive replies on mads it sent
(solicited mads).
Return non-negative agent id number on success, and a negative value on errors.

Errors:
	-EINVAL	invalid port handle
	-EPERM	registration failed

umad_register_oui:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_register_oui(int portid, int mgmt_class, uint8_t
rmpp_version,
				  uint8 oui[3], uint32 method_mask[4]);

Description: Register to the specified vendor class range 2, the specified
oui, and whether rmpp is being used. Otherwise operate similarly to
umad_register().

Errors:
	-EINVAL	invalid port handle or class is not in the vendor class 2 range
	-EPERM	registration failed

umad_unregister:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_unregister(int portid, int agentid);

Description: Unregister the specified 'agentid' previously registered using
umad_register() or umad_register_oui(). Returns 0 on success and negative
value on errors.

Errors:
	-EINVAL	invalid port handle or agentid
	*	(kernel error codes)


Port IO functions:

umad_send:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_send(int portid, int agentid, void *umad,
			  int timeout_ms, int retries);

Description: Send the specified 'umad' buffer from the port specified by
'portid' and using the agent specified by 'agentid'. 'timeout_ms' controls
solicited mads behavior as follows: zero value means not solicited. Positive
value makes the kernel indicate timeout if the reply is not received within the
specified value, and return the original buffer in the read channel with
the status field set (non zero). Negative 'timeout_ms' value makes the kernel
wait forever for the reply. Returns 0 on success and negative value on errors.

Errors:
	-EINVAL	invalid port handle or agentid
	-EIO	send operation failed

umad_recv:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_recv(int portid, void *umad, int timeout_ms);

Description: Wait up to 'timeout_ms' for a packet to be received from the
port specified by 'portid'. The packet is copied to the 'umad' buffer.
Negative 'timeout_ms' value makes the function block until a packet
is received. Zero 'timeout_ms' indicates a non blocking read.
Return non negative receiving agentid on success and negative value on errors.

Errors:
	-EINVAL		invalid port handle or agentid
	-EIO		receive operation failed
	-EWOULDBLOCK 	non blocking read can't be fulfilled

umad_poll:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_poll(int portid, int timeout_ms);

Description: Wait up to 'timeout_ms' for a packet to be received from the
port specified by 'portid'. Once a packet is ready to be read the function
returns 0 after that the packet can be read using umad_recv(). Otherwise
-ETIMEDOUT is returned. Note that successfully polling a port does not guarantee
that the following umad_recv will be non blocking when several threads are using
the same port. Instead, use timeout_ms parameter of zero to umad_recv to ensure
a non-blocking read.

Errors:
	-EINVAL		invalid port handle or agentid
	-ETIMEDOUT	poll operation timed out
	-EIO		poll operation failed

umad_get_fd:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_get_fd(int portid)

Description: Return umad fd for port specified by 'portid'. Returns fd
for port or -EINVAL if portid is invalid.

Errors:
	-EINVAL		invalid port handle

umad_status:

Synopsis:
	int	umad_status(void *umad);

Description: Return the internal 'umad' status field. After a packet is
received, a non zero status means the packet had a send-timeout
