RDMA atomic operation's implementation

问题


I heard about that RDMA reads and writes are implemented like, when requests come the nic find the physical page and then using DMA to get the data to nic and then to the target.

This is straightforward for reads and write, but it is odd when it comes to the atomic operations. My question is that is RDMA atomic operations implemented the same way as reads and writes and how? And more specificely, what is it's relationship between the cpu's atomic operations (like compare and swap) and the RDMA's corresponding operations?.


回答1:


RDMA atomic operations are implemented using PCI-express read and write operations. As such they do not provide atomicity with respect to the CPU's atomic operations, nor with respect to other HCAs.
