ibv_modify_qp: Invalid argument

[Muzizhenzhen]

I changed the host name to the host name I use and want to try to allow test/test_rdma. No other parameters were modified, but an ibv_modify_qp parameter error was encountered, and the code there was located.
// INIT -> RTR
flags = IBV_QP_STATE | IBV_QP_PATH_MTU;
memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.qp_state = IBV_QPS_RTR;
attr.path_mtu = IBV_MTU_512;
if (qp->qp->qp_type == IBV_QPT_RC) {
flags |= IBV_QP_AV | IBV_QP_DEST_QPN | IBV_QP_RQ_PSN |
IBV_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC | IBV_QP_MIN_RNR_TIMER;
attr.ah_attr.is_global = 0;
attr.ah_attr.dlid = lid;
attr.ah_attr.port_num = ib_port_;
attr.dest_qp_num = qp_num;
attr.rq_psn = psn; // match remote sq_psn
attr.max_dest_rd_atomic = 16;
attr.min_rnr_timer = 12;
}
if (ibv_modify_qp(qp->qp, &attr, flags)) {
printf("The third ibv_modify_qp\n");
SDS_PERROR("ibv_modify_qp");
return -1;
}
Error message: smart/smart/resource_manager.cpp:623: enable_queue_pair(): ibv_modify_qp: Invalid argument,

How to modify it?

We have modified the code to set attr.ah_attr.is_global=1 by default to avoid the problem of failing to establish connections in some network environments.
You should also focus on the "infiniband" subsection of config/smart_config.json, including "name", "port" and "gid_idx" (recently added).

Thanks for your reply, I just saw it.

I have one more question. I tried the ofed_info5.3 version today, using a cx-5 100G network card, using the "read" operation. When the qp was 96, I did not see any significant change in IOPS when changing the owr number.

Apart from that, I tried a modification based on the rdma-bench code (ATC'16), measured separately on 100G network cards of cx5 and cx6, only changing the OWR number (polling 1 CQ every n WQE) did not Obvious IOPS changes

I used a total of two machines to run test/test_rdma. The experimental environment of each machine was 32-core AMD 7452 at 2.35GHz, 128GB ECC Memory, 100G CX-5 RDMA network card, 100Gbs Dell Z9264F-ON switch, Ubuntu 20.04 (Linux Kernel 5.4). Run the command sudo LD_PRELOAD=libmlx5.so ./test/test_rdma on the server side, and run the command sudo LD_PRELOAD=libmlx5.so ./test/test_rdma on the client side \ [nr_thread] \ [outstanding_work_request_per_thread]. Only nr_thread and outstanding_work_request_per_thread are changed, and the rest are unchanged. .

Is there any configuration I missed? Or will only the 200G cx6 network card experience a significant decrease in throughput? Have you tried testing on a 100G cx6 network card?

Please guide me, thank you!

If you run test_rdma manually, all optimizations of SMART, including work request throttling, are enabled by default. You can checkout smart_config.json.

In addition, as the test platform has only 32 cores, performance impacts may not be significant.
