"NAME"
ibv_create_cq_ex - create a completion queue (CQ)
"SYNOPSIS"
 #include <infiniband/verbs.h>  "struct ibv_cq_ex *ibv_create_cq_ex(struct ibv_context " "*context" ",  " struct ibv_create_cq_attr_ex " "*cq_attr" ); 
"DESCRIPTION"
ibv_create_cq_ex() creates a completion queue (CQ) for RDMA device context context. The argument cq_attr is a pointer to struct ibv_cq_init_attr_ex as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

struct ibv_cq_init_attr_ex {
int cqe; /* Minimum number of entries required for CQ */
void *cq_context; /* Consumer-supplied context returned for completion events */
struct ibv_comp_channel *channel; /* Completion channel where completion events will be queued. May be NULL if completion events will not be used. */
int comp_vector; /* Completion vector used to signal completion events. Must be >= 0 and < context->num_comp_vectors. */
uint64_t wc_flags; /* The wc_flags that should be returned in ibv_poll_cq_ex. Or'ed bit of enum ibv_wc_flags_ex. */
uint32_t comp_mask; /* compatibility mask (extended verb). */
uint32_t flags /* One or more flags from enum ibv_create_cq_attr_flags */
};

 IBV_WC_EX_WITH_BYTE_LEN = 1 << 0, /* Require byte len in WC */
 IBV_WC_EX_WITH_IMM = 1 << 1, /* Require immediate in WC */

"Polling an extended CQ"
In order to poll an extended CQ efficiently, a user could use the following functions.

Completion iterator functions "int ibv_start_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq" ", struct ibv_poll_cq_attr " "*attr")

Start polling a batch of work completions. attr is given in order to make this function easily extensible in the future. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll shouldn't be called. "int ibv_next_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq")

This function is called in order to get the next work completion. It has to be called after start_poll and before end_poll are called. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll should still be called, indicating this is the end of the polled batch. "void ibv_end_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq")

This function indicates the end of polling batch of work completions. After calling this function, the user should start a new batch by calling start_poll.

Polling fields in the completion Below members and functions are used in order to poll the current completion. The current completion is the completion which the iterator points to (start_poll and next_poll advances this iterator). Only fields that the user requested via wc_flags in ibv_create_cq_ex could be queried. In addition, some fields are only valid in certain opcodes and status codes. "uint64_t wr_id - Can be accessed directly from struct ibv_cq_ex". "enum ibv_wc_status - Can be accessed directly from struct ibv_cq_ex". "enum ibv_wc_opcode ibv_wc_read_opcode(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the opcode from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_vendor_err(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the vendor error from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_byte_len(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the vendor error from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_imm_data(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the immediate data field from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_qp_num(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the QP number field from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_src_qp(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the source QP number field from the current completion. "int ibv_wc_read_wc_flags(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the QP flags field from the current completion. "uint16_t ibv_wc_read_pkey_index(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the pkey index field from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_slid(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the slid field from the current completion. "uint8_t ibv_wc_read_sl(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the sl field from the current completion. "uint8_t ibv_wc_read_dlid_path_bits(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the dlid_path_bits field from the current completion. "uint64_t ibv_wc_read_completion_ts(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the completion timestamp from the current completion. "uint16_t ibv_wc_read_cvlan(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get the CVLAN field from the current completion. "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_flow_tag(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c Get flow tag from the current completion.

"RETURN VALUE"
ibv_create_cq_ex() returns a pointer to the CQ, or NULL if the request fails.
"NOTES"
ibv_create_cq_ex() may create a CQ with size greater than or equal to the requested size. Check the cqe attribute in the returned CQ for the actual size.

CQ should be destroyed with ibv_destroy_cq.
