libfabric_api.c File Reference

This file contains definitions and functions for accessing libfabric 1.9 and mainline through a generic V-table interface. It is used to generate two shared libraries, each linking to a unique version of libfabric as shown below: More...

#include "adapter_efa.h"
#include "libfabric_api.h"
#include <dlfcn.h>

Macros
#define	LOAD_LIBRARY(filename_str)   (dlopen(filename_str, RTLD_LAZY))
	Macro used to dynamically load a library.
#define	GET_PROC_ADDRESS(handle, name_str)   (dlsym(handle, name_str))
	Macro used to get an address to function in a dynamically loaded library using its name.
#define	FREE_LIBRARY(handle)   (dlclose(handle))
	Macro used to free resources used by a dynmically loaded library.

Functions
	CDI_STATIC_ASSERT (FI_MAJOR_VERSION==1 &&FI_MINOR_VERSION==9, "Incorrect libfabric version.")
	To provide backwards compatibility with previous versions of the SDK, libfabric version 1.9.x must be used here.
static struct fi_info *	fi_allocinfo_internal (void)
	Forward reference.
static CdiReturnStatus	DynamicallyLoadLibrary (const char *libfabric_filename_str, LibfabricApi **ret_api_ptr)
	Dynamically load a version of the libfabric library.
CdiReturnStatus	LoadLibfabric1_9 (LibfabricApi **ret_api_ptr)
	Dynamically load libfabric 1.9 and return a V-table to the API used by the SDK.

Variables
static LibfabricApi	api_vtable
	API V-table for libfabric API.
static void *	lib_handle = NULL
	Handle for libfabric library.
static struct fi_info *(*	internal_fi_dupinfo_ptr )(const struct fi_info *info)
	Pointer to fi_dupinfo, which is dynamically loaded.

Function Documentation

DynamicallyLoadLibrary()

static CdiReturnStatus DynamicallyLoadLibrary ( const char * libfabric_filename_str, LibfabricApi ** ret_api_ptr )

static

Dynamically load a version of the libfabric library.

Parameters

libfabric_filename_str	Pointer to name of libfabric library to load.
ret_api_ptr	Address where to write pointer to the V-table API.

Returns

CdiReturnStatus kCdiStausOk if successful, otherwise a value indicating the nature of failure.

fi_allocinfo_internal()

static struct fi_info * fi_allocinfo_internal ( void )

static

Forward reference.

Wrapper function for fi_allocinfo(), which is a static line function that simply calls the non-static function fi_dupinfo(). Wrapper required here since we want to dynamically load and use libfabric's non-static functions.

Returns

Pointer to allocated fi_info structure.

LoadLibfabric1_9()

CdiReturnStatus LoadLibfabric1_9

(

LibfabricApi **

ret_api_ptr

)

Dynamically load libfabric 1.9 and return a V-table to the API used by the SDK.

Parameters

ret_api_ptr

Address where to write pointer to the V-table API.

Returns

CdiReturnStatus kCdiStausOk if successful, otherwise a value indicating the nature of failure.
