# RDMA Core Userspace Libraries and Daemons
This is the userspace components for the Linux Kernel's drivers/infiniband
subsystem. Specifically this contains the userspace libraries for the
following device nodes:
- /dev/infiniband/uverbsX (libibverbs)
- /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm (librdmacm)
- /dev/infiniband/umadX (libibumad)
The userspace component of the libibverbs RDMA kernel drivers are included
under the providers/ directory. Support for the following Kernel RDMA drivers
is included:
- efa.ko
- iw_cxgb4.ko
- hfi1.ko
- hns-roce.ko
- irdma.ko
- ib_qib.ko
- mlx4_ib.ko
- mlx5_ib.ko
- ib_mthca.ko
- ocrdma.ko
- qedr.ko
- rdma_rxe.ko
- siw.ko
- vmw_pvrdma.ko
Additional service daemons are provided for:
- srp_daemon (ib_srp.ko)
- iwpmd (for iwarp kernel providers)
- ibacm (for InfiniBand communication management assistant)
# Building
This project uses a cmake based build system. Quick start:
```sh
$ bash build.sh
```
*build/bin* will contain the sample programs and *build/lib* will contain the
shared libraries. The build is configured to run all the programs 'in-place'
and cannot be installed.
### Debian Derived
```sh
$ apt-get install build-essential cmake gcc libudev-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev ninja-build pkg-config valgrind python3-dev cython3 python3-docutils pandoc
```
Supported releases:
* Debian 9 (stretch) or newer
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) or newer
### Fedora, CentOS 8
```sh
$ dnf builddep redhat/rdma-core.spec
```
NOTE: Fedora Core uses the name 'ninja-build' for the 'ninja' command.
### openSUSE
```sh
$ zypper install cmake gcc libnl3-devel libudev-devel ninja pkg-config valgrind-devel python3-devel python3-Cython python3-docutils pandoc
```
## Building on CentOS 6/7, Amazon Linux 1/2
Install required packages:
```sh
$ yum install cmake gcc libnl3-devel libudev-devel make pkgconfig valgrind-devel
```
Developers on CentOS 7 or Amazon Linux 2 are suggested to install more modern
tooling for the best experience.
CentOS 7:
```sh
$ yum install epel-release
$ yum install cmake3 ninja-build pandoc
```
Amazon Linux 2:
```sh
$ amazon-linux-extras install epel
$ yum install cmake3 ninja-build pandoc
```
NOTE: EPEL uses the name 'ninja-build' for the 'ninja' command, and 'cmake3'
for the 'cmake' command.
# Usage
To set up software RDMA on an existing interface with either of the available
drivers, use the following commands, substituting `` with the name of
the driver of your choice (`rdma_rxe` or `siw`) and `` with the type
corresponding to the driver (`rxe` or `siw`).
```
# modprobe
# rdma link add type netdev
```
Please note that you need version of `iproute2` recent enough is required for the
command above to work.
You can use either `ibv_devices` or `rdma link` to verify that the device was
successfully added.
# Reporting bugs
Bugs should be reported to the mailing list
In your bug report, please include:
* Information about your system:
- Linux distribution and version
- Linux kernel and version
- InfiniBand hardware and firmware version
- ... any other relevant information
* How to reproduce the bug.
* If the bug is a crash, the exact output printed out when the crash
occurred, including any kernel messages produced.
# Submitting patches
