We need to ask Roland to confirm this.

I did not use zero byte rdma_read, I only use zero byte rdma_write.
Here is our code:
sr.next = NULL;
sr.wr_id = (uint64_t)(AULONG)rdmahdr;
sr.sg_list = &ssg;
sr.num_sge = 0;
sr.opcode = IBV_WR_RDMA_WRITE;
sr.send_flags = IBV_SEND_INLINE|IBV_SEND_SIGNALED;
err = ibv_post_send(ibvproc->connection[i].qp_hndl, &sr,
&bad_sr);
if (err != 0) {
hpmp_printf("ibv_post_send() failed");
return (-1);
}
Note, ssg is not initialized (Maybe we can set sr.sg_list = NULL ?)
