rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier(3RSM) Remote Shared Memory Library Functions rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier(3RSM)
NAME
rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier, rsm_memseg_import_order_barrier, rsm_memseg_import_close_barrier - remote memory access error detection
functions
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrsm [ library... ]
#include <rsmapi.h>
int rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier(rsmapi_barrier_t *barrier);
int rsm_memseg_import_order_barrier(rsmapi_barrier_t *barrier);
int rsm_memseg_import_close_barrier(rsmapi_barrier_t *barrier);
DESCRIPTION
The rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier() and rsm_memseg_import_close_barrier() functions provide a means of remote memory access error detec-
tion when the barrier mode is set to RSM_BARRIER_MODE_EXPLICIT. Open and close barrier operations define a span-of-time interval for error
detection. A successful close barrier guarantees that remote memory access covered between the open barrier and close barrier have com-
pleted successfully. Any individual failures which may have occured between the open barrier and close barrier occur without any notifica-
tion and the failure is not reported until the close barrier.
The rsm_memseg_import_order_barrier() function imposes the order-of-write completion whereby, with an order barrier, the write operations
issued before the order barrier are all completed before the operations after the order barrier. Effectively, with the order barrier call,
all writes within one barrier scope are ordered with respect to those in another barrier scope.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error value is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The rsm_memseg_import_open_barrier(), rsm_memseg_import_order_barrier(), and rsm_memseg_import_close_barrier() functions can return the
following errors:
RSMERR_BAD_SEG_HNDL Invalid segment handle
RSMERR_BAD_BARRIER_PTR Invalid barrier pointer.
The rsm_memseg_close_barrier() and rsm_memseg_order_barrier() functions can return the following errors:
RSMERR_BARRIER_UNINITIALIZED Barrier not initialized.
RSMERR_BARRIER_NOT_OPENED Barrier not opened.
RSMERR_BARRIER_FAILURE Memory access error.
RSMERR_CONN_ABORTED Connection aborted.
