I also agreed it's a good idea that we should only add this flush flag to the supported drivers. But i haven't figured out how to achieve it in current RDMA. After more digging into rdma-core, i found that this flag can be also set from usespace by calling ibv_modify_qp(). For server side(responder), ibv_modify_qp() must be called after rdma_accept(). rdma_accept() inside will modify qp_access_flags again(rdma_get_request is the first place to modify qp_access_flags). Back to the original question, IIUC, current rdma-core have no API to set qp_access_flags during qp creating. FLUSH operation in responder side will check both mr->access_flags and qp_access_flags. So unsupported device/driver are not able to do flush at all though qp_access_flags apply to all drivers. ------------------------------------------ (gdb) bt #0 __ibv_modify_qp_1_1 (qp=0x40fbf0, attr=0x7fffffffd920, attr_mask=57) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/libibverbs/verbs.c:715 #1 0x00007ffff7faa1db in ucma_init_conn_qp (id_priv=0x40f6d0, qp=0x40fbf0) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1380 #2 0x00007ffff7faada2 in rdma_create_qp_ex (id=0x40f6d0, attr=0x7fffffffda30) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1676 #3 0x00007ffff7faae94 in rdma_create_qp (id=0x40f6d0, pd=0x407710, qp_init_attr=0x7fffffffdae0) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1702 #4 0x00007ffff7fab5d3 in rdma_get_request (listen=0x40ede0, id=0x4051a8 <id>) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1883 #5 0x0000000000401af9 in run () at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/examples/rdma_flush_server.c:91 #6 0x00000000004021ea in main (argc=7, argv=0x7fffffffe228) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/examples/rdma_flush_server.c:282 (gdb) bt #0 __ibv_modify_qp_1_1 (qp=0x40fbf0, attr=0x7fffffffd930, attr_mask=1216897) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/libibverbs/verbs.c:715 #1 0x00007ffff7fa9f16 in ucma_modify_qp_rtr (id=0x40f6d0, resp_res=128 '\200') at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1304 #2 0x00007ffff7fab80a in rdma_accept (id=0x40f6d0, conn_param=0x0) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/cma.c:1932 #3 0x0000000000401c8a in run () at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/examples/rdma_flush_server.c:132 #4 0x00000000004021ea in main (argc=7, argv=0x7fffffffe228) at /home/lizhijian/rdma-core/librdmacm/examples/rdma_flush_server.c:282 > Jason >
