.SH "Polling an extended CQ"
In order to poll an extended CQ efficiently, a user could use the following functions.

.TP
.B Completion iterator functions

.BI "int ibv_start_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq" ", struct ibv_poll_cq_attr " "*attr")
.br
Start polling a batch of work completions.
.I attr
is given in order to make this function
easily extensible in the future. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code
otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains
in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query
functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll shouldn't be called.

.BI "int ibv_next_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq")
.br
This function is called in order to get the next work completion. It has to be called after
.I start_poll
and before
.I end_poll
are called. This function either returns 0 on success or an error code
otherwise. When no completions are available on the CQ, ENOENT is returned, but the CQ remains
in a valid state. On success, querying the completion's attribute could be done using the query
functions described below. If an error code is given, end_poll should still be called,
indicating this is the end of the polled batch.

.BI "void ibv_end_poll(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq")
.br
This function indicates the end of polling batch of work completions. After calling this function, the user should start a new batch
by calling
.I start_poll.

.TP
.B Polling fields in the completion
Below members and functions are used in order to poll the current completion. The current completion is the completion which the iterator points to (start_poll and next_poll advances this iterator). Only fields that the user requested via wc_flags in ibv_create_cq_ex could be queried. In addition, some fields are only valid in certain opcodes and status codes.

.BI "uint64_t wr_id - Can be accessed directly from struct ibv_cq_ex".

.BI "enum ibv_wc_status - Can be accessed directly from struct ibv_cq_ex".

.BI "enum ibv_wc_opcode ibv_wc_read_opcode(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the opcode from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_vendor_err(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the vendor error from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_byte_len(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the vendor error from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_imm_data(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the immediate data field from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_qp_num(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the QP number field from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_src_qp(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the source QP number field from the current completion.

.BI "int ibv_wc_read_wc_flags(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the QP flags field from the current completion.

.BI "uint16_t ibv_wc_read_pkey_index(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the pkey index field from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_slid(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the slid field from the current completion.

.BI "uint8_t ibv_wc_read_sl(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the sl field from the current completion.

.BI "uint8_t ibv_wc_read_dlid_path_bits(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the dlid_path_bits field from the current completion.

.BI "uint64_t ibv_wc_read_completion_ts(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the completion timestamp from the current completion.

.BI "uint16_t ibv_wc_read_cvlan(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get the CVLAN field from the current completion.

.BI "uint32_t ibv_wc_read_flow_tag(struct ibv_cq_ex " "*cq"); \c
 Get flow tag from the current completion.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.B ibv_create_cq_ex()
returns a pointer to the CQ, or NULL if the request fails.
.SH "NOTES"
.B ibv_create_cq_ex()
may create a CQ with size greater than or equal to the requested
size. Check the cqe attribute in the returned CQ for the actual size.
.PP
CQ should be destroyed with ibv_destroy_cq.
