Do you mean SOCK_STREAM semantics?

You were on the right track from a libfabric API perspective with fi_passive_ep.  However, that's not supported by psm2.  If you require psm2 as the provider, you would need to build the socket API semantics over the RDM endpoint type.  The data transfer implementation may not be that difficult, but you would need to implement some sort of connection protocol over the RDM EP to emulate the socket listen/connect/accept/shutdown calls.
