NAME top

       mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector - Allocate an msi vector to be used
       for creating an EQ.

       mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector - Release an msi vector.

SYNOPSIS top

              #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>

              struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector *
              mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector(struct ibv_context *ibctx);

              int mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector(struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector *msi);

DESCRIPTION top

       Allocate or free an msi vector to be used for creating an EQ.

       The allocate API exposes a mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector object, which
       includes an msi vector and a fd.  The vector can be used as the
       “eqc.intr” field when creating an EQ, while the fd (created as
       non-blocking) can be polled to see once there is some data on that
       EQ.

ARGUMENTS top

       ibctx  RDMA device context to create the action on.

       msi    The msi vector object to work on.

   msi_vector
              struct mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector {
                  int vector;
                  int fd;
              };

       vector The vector to be used when creating the EQ over the device
              specification.

       fd     The FD that will be used for polling.

RETURN VALUE top

       Upon success mlx5dv_devx_alloc_msi_vector will return a new struct
       mlx5dv_devx_msi_vector; On error NULL will be returned and errno
       will be set.

       Upon success mlx5dv_devx_free_msi_vector will return 0, on error
       errno will be returned.
