.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B ibv_create_qp_ex()
creates a queue pair (QP) associated with the protection domain
.I pd\fR.
The argument
.I qp_init_attr_ex
is an ibv_qp_init_attr_ex struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.
.PP
.nf
struct ibv_qp_init_attr_ex {
.in +8
void *qp_context; /* Associated context of the QP */
struct ibv_cq *send_cq; /* CQ to be associated with the Send Queue (SQ) */
struct ibv_cq *recv_cq; /* CQ to be associated with the Receive Queue (RQ) */
struct ibv_srq *srq; /* SRQ handle if QP is to be associated with an SRQ, otherwise NULL */
struct ibv_qp_cap cap; /* QP capabilities */

uint32_t comp_mask; /* Identifies valid fields */
struct ibv_pd *pd; /* PD to be associated with the QP */
struct ibv_xrcd *xrcd; /* XRC domain to be associated with the target QP */

uint32_t max_send_wr; /* Requested max number of outstanding WRs in the SQ */
uint32_t max_recv_wr; /* Requested max number of outstanding WRs in the RQ */
uint32_t max_send_sge; /* Requested max number of scatter/gather (s/g) elements in a WR in the SQ */
uint32_t max_recv_sge; /* Requested max number of s/g elements in a WR in the SQ */

.PP
The function
.B ibv_create_qp_ex()
will update the
.I qp_init_attr_ex\fB\fR->cap
struct with the actual \s-1QP\s0 values of the QP that was created;
the values will be greater than or equal to the values requested.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
destroys the QP
.I qp\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.B ibv_create_qp_ex()
returns a pointer to the created QP, or NULL if the request fails.
Check the QP number (\fBqp_num\fR) in the returned QP.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
The attributes max_recv_wr and max_recv_sge are ignored by
.B ibv_create_qp_ex()
if the QP is to be associated with an SRQ.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
fails if the QP is attached to a multicast group.
