Description:

User space provider drivers for libibverbs

libibverbs is a library that allows userspace processes to use RDMA "verbs" as described in the InfiniBand Architecture Specification and the RDMA Protocol Verbs Specification. iWARP ethernet NICs support RDMA over hardware-offloaded TCP/IP, while InfiniBand is a high-throughput, low-latency networking technology. InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) and iWARP NICs commonly support direct hardware access from userspace (kernel bypass), and libibverbs supports this when available. . A RDMA driver consists of a kernel portion and a user space portion. This package contains the user space verbs drivers: . - bnxt_re: Broadcom NetXtreme-E RoCE HCAs - cxgb3: Chelsio T3 iWARP HCAs - cxgb4: Chelsio T4 iWARP HCAs - hfi1verbs: Intel Omni-Path HFI - hns: HiSilicon Hip06 SoC - i40iw: Intel Ethernet Connection X722 RDMA - ipathverbs: QLogic InfiniPath HCAs - mlx4: Mellanox ConnectX-3 InfiniBand HCAs - mlx5: Mellanox Connect-IB/X-4+ InfiniBand HCAs - mthca: Mellanox InfiniBand HCAs - nes: Intel NetEffect NE020-based iWARP adapters - ocrdma: Emulex OneConnect RDMA/RoCE device - qedr: QLogic QL4xxx RoCE HCAs - rxe: A software implementation of the RoCE protocol - vmw_pvrdma: VMware paravirtual RDMA device
