15 ibv_query_device_ex() returns the attributes of the device with context
16 context. The argument attr is a pointer to an ibv_device_attr_ex
17 struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

97 Extended device capability flags (device_cap_flags_ex):
99 IBV_DEVICE_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING
101 Indicates the device has support for padding PCI writes to a
103 full cache line.
104 Padding packets to full cache lines reduces the amount of traf‐
106 fic required at the memory controller at the expense of creating
107 more traffic on the PCI-E port.
108 Workloads that have a high CPU memory load and low PCI-E uti‐
110 lization will benefit from this feature, while workloads that
111 have a high PCI-E utilization and small packets will be harmed.
112 For instance, with a 128 byte cache line size, the transfer of
114 any packets less than 128 bytes will require a full 128 transfer
115 on PCI, potentially doubling the required PCI-E bandwidth.
116 This feature can be enabled on a QP or WQ basis via the
118 IBV_QP_CREATE_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING or
119 IBV_WQ_FLAGS_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING flags.
120
123 ibv_query_device_ex() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on
124 failure (which indicates the failure reason).
125
127 The maximum values returned by this function are the upper limits of
128 supported resources by the device. However, it may not be possible to
129 use these maximum values, since the actual number of any resource that
130 can be created may be limited by the machine configuration, the amount
131 of host memory, user permissions, and the amount of resources already
132 in use by other users/processes.
