[libfabric-users] FI_CONNECTED question

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

I found a/the solution.

When I call fi_connect, I add an id (pointer to endpoint) to the user data
When the passive end receives the connect request, it gets the user data and when it calls fi_accept, it returns the same data
When I receive the connected event back on the origin node, I can access user data again and cast it back to an endpoint pointer (seems a bit long winded, but it works at least). This gives me the correct endpoint for the origin of the connect request.

Sorry for the noise

Subject: [libfabric-users] FI_CONNECTED question

If I have N threads all making connections to remote endpoints, I poll the event queue (shared between all active endpoints making the connections).
How do I get the endpoint from the FI_CONNECTED event that tells me which connection the event is referring to?

When I receive an  FI_CONNREQ event, I can get the dest_addr from the info, but the FI_CONNECTED always has nullptr there so I can’t use that to cross reference a list of my connection attempts.

Ideally, I’d like to get the fid_ep * from the CONNECTED event so that I then start using that endpoint, but I can’t find a way of getting that information. (with a single thread, I ‘know’ which endpoint last started a connection attempt – or accepted a connection request, but with many, I do not).

How should it be done?

Thanks

JB
