I'm not sure we're on the same page yet. Here's a specific example:
Non-direct mode (from fi_endpoint.h)
static inline ssize_t
fi_recv(struct fid_ep *ep, void *buf, size_t len, void *desc,
fi_addr_t src_addr, void *context)
{
return ep->msg->recv(ep, buf, len, desc, src_addr, context);
}
Direct mode (from fi_direct_endpoint.h)
static inline ssize_t fi_recv(struct fid_ep *ep, void *buf, size_t len,
void *desc, fi_addr_t src_addr, void *context)
{
return gnix_ep_recv(ep, buf, len, desc, src_addr, context);
}
gnix_ep_recv is added as an exported symbol in the direct GNI build.
One of the issues is that the context parameter may need to point to a specific
data structure, which can differ between the direct and non-direct builds. (It
does not for the GNI provider, but does for B/G.)
Requiring that providers support both direct and non-direct clients
simultaneously is one of the options being considered.
