38 * The Lustre Networking subsystem.
40 * LNet is an asynchronous message-passing API, which provides an unreliable
41 * connectionless service that can't guarantee any order. It supports OFA IB,
42 * TCP/IP, and Cray Portals, and routes between heterogeneous networks.

61 * Addressing scheme and basic data types of LNet.
63 * The LNet API is memory-oriented, so LNet must be able to address not only
64 * end-points but also memory region within a process address space.
65 * An ::lnet_nid_t addresses an end-point. An ::lnet_pid_t identifies a process
66 * in a node. A portal represents an opening in the address space of a
67 * process. Match bits is criteria to identify a region of memory inside a
68 * portal, and offset specifies an offset within the memory region.
70 * LNet creates a table of portals for each process during initialization.
71 * This table has MAX_PORTALS entries and its size can't be dynamically
72 * changed. A portal stays empty until the owning process starts to add
73 * memory regions to it. A portal is sometimes called an index because
74 * it's an entry in the portals table of a process.

92 * list is a chain of MEs. Each ME includes a pointer to a memory descriptor
93 * and a set of match criteria. The match criteria can be used to reject
94 * incoming requests based on process ID or the match bits provided in the
95 * request. MEs can be dynamically inserted into a match list by LNetMEAttach()
96 * and removed from its list by LNetMEUnlink().

136 * local MDs. In particular, they signal the completion of a data transmission
137 * into or out of a MD. They can also be used to hold acknowledgments for
138 * completed PUT operations and indicate when a MD has been unlinked. Multiple
139 * MDs can share a single EQ. An EQ may have an optional event handler
140 * associated with it. If an event handler exists, it will be run for each
141 * event that is deposited into the EQ.
143 * In addition to the struct lnet_eq, the LNet API defines two types
144 * associated with events: The ::lnet_event_kind defines the kinds of events
145 * that can be stored in an EQ. The struct lnet_event defines a structure that
146 * holds the information about with an event.
148 * There are two functions for dealing with EQs: LNetEQAlloc() is used
149 * to create an EQ and allocate the resources needed, while LNetEQFree()
150 * releases these resources and frees the EQ.
