SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ONE-SIDED READ RMA USING LINKED QUEUES

A system for one-sided read remote memory access is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system is configured to receive, at a responder SFA, a first packet comprising a read request to read a remote memory of a second host from a first host, wherein a payload of the first packet is mapped to be a transmit header queue (TxHQ) entry (TxHQE), and the TxHQE includes a pointer to a memory map; separate, the received packet into portions including a upper level protocol (ULP) portion, the ULP portion being the TxHQE; create a ULP header queue for the TxHQE; generate a read response based on mapping the ULP header queue into hardware as the TxHQ, wherein the TxHQE includes a pointer to data from a valid memory region of the second host identified by the memory mapping; and transmit a read response packet with the data identified by the pointer using the TxHQ to the first host.
