Hi Jason & Leon
It reminds me that ibv_advise_mr doesn't mention ENOENT any more which value the API actually returns now.
the ENOENT cases/situations returned by kernel mlx5 implementation is most likely same with EINVALL as its manpage[1].
So shall we return EINVAL instead of ENOENT in kernel side when get_prefetchable_mr returns NULL?
1781 static int mlx5_ib_prefetch_sg_list(struct ib_pd *pd,
1782 enum ib_uverbs_advise_mr_advice advice,
1783 u32 pf_flags, struct ib_sge *sg_list,
1784 u32 num_sge)
1785 {
1786 u32 bytes_mapped = 0;
1787 int ret = 0;
1788 u32 i;
1789
1790 for (i = 0; i < num_sge; ++i) {
1791 struct mlx5_ib_mr *mr;
1792
1793 mr = get_prefetchable_mr(pd, advice, sg_list[i].lkey);
1794 if (!mr)
1795 return -ENOENT;
1796 ret = pagefault_mr(mr, sg_list[i].addr, sg_list[i].length,
1797 &bytes_mapped, pf_flags);
=============
RETURN VALUE
ibv_advise_mr() returns 0 when the call was successful, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
EOPNOTSUPP
libibverbs or provider driver doesn’t support the ibv_advise_mr() verb (ENOSYS may sometimes be returned by old versions of libibverbs).
ENOTSUP
The advise operation isn’t supported.
EFAULT In one of the following: o When the range requested is out of the MR bounds, or when parts of it are not part of the process address space. o One of the lkeys provided in the scatter gather
list is invalid or with wrong write access.
EINVAL In one of the following: o The PD is invalid. o The flags are invalid.

Actually get_prefetchable_mr() will return NULL if it see above conditions
No, get_prefetchable_mr() returns NULL if the mkey is invalid
And what is this?
1701 static struct mlx5_ib_mr *
1702 get_prefetchable_mr(struct ib_pd *pd, enum ib_uverbs_advise_mr_advice advice,
1703 u32 lkey)
...
1721 /* prefetch with write-access must be supported by the MR */
1722 if (advice == IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_ADVICE_PREFETCH_WRITE &&
1723 !mr->umem->writable) {
1724 mr = NULL;
1725 goto end;
1726 }
I would say that is an invalid mkey
I see it is as wrong write access.
It just means the man page is wrong
ok, it can be a solution too.
It sounds good. I will try to update the manpage ibv_advise_mr(3) instead.
Thanks
