A handle for an open instance of the IA.

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR function makes effects of an incoming RDMA
Write operation visible to the Consumer. This operation guarantees consistency
by locally invalidating the non-coherent cache whose buffer has been populated
by remote peer RDMA write operations.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR function is needed if and only if the
Provider attribute specifies that this operation is needed after an incoming
RDMA Write operation. The Consumer must call \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR
before reading data from a memory range in this region that was the target of
an incoming RDMA Write operation. The \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR function
must be called after the RDMA Write operation completes, and the memory range
that was modified by the RDMA Write must be supplied by the caller in the
\fIlocal_segments\fR array. After this call returns, the Consumer may safely
see the modified contents of the memory range. It is permissible to batch
synchronizations of multiple RDMA Write operations in a single call by passing
a \fIlocal_segments\fR array that includes all modified memory ranges. The
\fIlocal_segments\fR entries need not contain the same LMR and need not be in
the same Protection Zone.
.sp
.LP
The Consumer must also use \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR when performing
local writes to a memory range that was or will be the target of incoming RDMA
writes. After performing the local write, the Consumer must call
\fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR before the RDMA Write is initiated.
Conversely, after an RDMA Write completes, the Consumer must call
\fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR before performing a local write to the same
range.
.sp
.LP
If the Provider attribute specifies that this operation is needed and the
Consumer attempts to read from a memory range in an LMR without properly
synchronizing using \fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR, the returned contents are
undefined. If the Consumer attempts to write to a memory range without properly
synchronizing, the contents of the memory range become undefined.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_SUCCESS\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
The operation was successful.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_INVALID_HANDLE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
The DAT handle is invalid.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_INVALID_PARAMETER\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
One of the parameters is invalid. For example, the address range for a local
segment fell outside the boundaries of the corresponding Local Memory Region or
the LMR handle was invalid.
.RE
.SH USAGE
Determining when an RDMA Write completes and determining which memory range was
modified is the Consumer's responsibility. One possibility is for the RDMA
Write initiator to post a Send DTO message after each RDMA Write that
identifies the range in the body of the Send. The Consumer at the target of the
RDMA Write can receive the message and know when and how to call
\fBdat_lmr_sync_rdma_write()\fR.
.sp
.LP
This call ensures that the Provider receives a coherent view of the buffer
contents after a subsequent remote RDMA Write operation. After the call
completes, the Consumer can be assured that all platform-specific buffer and
cache updates have been performed, and that the LMR range has consistency with
the Provider hardware. Any subsequent read by the Consumer can void this
consistency. The Provider is not required to detect such access.
.sp
.LP
The action performed on the cache before the RDMA Write depends on the cache
type:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
I/O noncoherent cache will be flushed.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
CPU noncoherent cache will be invalidated.
