ibv_close_device()
Contents
int ibv_close_device(struct ibv_context *context); |
Description
ibv_close_device() closes an RDMA device context.
ibv_close_device() won't release the resources that are associated with this context. It is up to the user to release them before calling to this verb, in order to prevent resource (such as memory, file descriptors, RDMA object numbers) leak. Using those orphan resources may result a Segmentation Fault.
However, when the process ends, those resources will be automatically cleaned by the Operating System.
Parameters
| Name | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| context | in | RDMA device context that was returned from ibv_open_device() |
Return Values
ibv_close_device() returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
Examples
Open a device context and close it:
/* In this example, we assume that this variable already holds the list of available devices */ struct ibv_device **device_list; struct ibv_context *ctx; ctx = ibv_open_device(device_list[0]); if (!ctx) { fprintf(stderr, "Error, failed to open the device '%s'\n", ibv_get_device_name(device_list[i])); return -1; } printf("The device '%s' was opened\n", ibv_get_device_name(ctx->device)); rc = ibv_close_device(ctx); if (rc) { fprintf(stderr, "Error, failed to close the device '%s'\n", ibv_get_device_name(ctx->device)); return -1; } |
