*FI_COMPLETION*
: Indicates that a completion entry should be generated for data
transfer operations.
*FI_INJECT_COMPLETE*
: Indicates that a completion should be generated when the
source buffer(s) may be reused. FI_INJECT_COMPLETE allows for the
provider to complete an operation after all source data has been
cached, and while the operation may still be in the process of
being transmitted.
*FI_TRANSMIT_COMPLETE*
: Indicates that a completion should not be generated until an
operation has been successfully transmitted and is no longer
being tracked by the provider. For reliable endpoints, this flag
generally indicates that an operation will not complete until
it has been accepted into the fabric and acknowledged by a remote service.
For unreliable endpoints, this flag indicates that an operation will
not complete until it has been successfully delivered
into the fabric. For example, the corresponding message has been
placed on the wire. FI_TRANSMIT_COMPLETE is the default completion
model for all endpoints.
Note that when set, if the target endpoint experiences an error receiving
the transferred data, that error will often be reported back to the
initiator of the request. This includes errors which may not normally
be reported to the initiator, such as remote buffer overruns.
*FI_COMMIT_COMPLETE*
: Indicates that a completion should not be generated until an operation
has successfully been processed at the target, with the data placed
into the specified destination buffer.
