Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes the RDMA transport and its build/install integration, but the current head can break downstream CMake consumers and return empty version IDs for successful RDMA PUTs; it also does not check shared curl setup failures. These issues can cause integration failures or incorrect result metadata, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

1459-1464: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
ClientCtxcarries no version id, so every RDMA PUT success path dropsversion_id. The HTTP paths populatePutObjectResponse::version_idfrom thex-amz-version-idresponse header.rdmaPutreads that same response but has no field to return the value through, so both RDMA success paths leaveversion_idempty. On a versioned bucket the response content then depends on which transport the SDK selected, and a caller that records the version id loses it silently whenever RDMA succeeds. Fix the root cause ininclude/miniocpp/rdma.hby adding aversionIdfield toClientCtxand setting it inrdmaPut, then read it at both call sites.

and its list, while leaving the existing CMake prerequisite unchanged.
In `@CMakeLists.txt`:
- Around line 76-83: Replace the raw libs3rdma string appended by the RDMA CMake
block with an imported target using CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR-based paths,
IMPORTED_LOCATION, and INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES; link that target instead
of embedding space-separated flags, and apply -Bdynamic through
target_link_options with LINKER: if needed. Configure an $ORIGIN RPATH, install
both the libs3rdma.so symlink and libs3rdma.so.0 target, and export the imported
target for package consumers.

The RDMA data path went through NVIDIA's libcuobjclient and libcufile.
Move it to libs3rdma, which speaks the same x-amz-rdma-token wire format
over plain IBTA verbs.
What this supports that the SDK could not before:
- native InfiniBand, not just RoCE
- any HCA, without a CUDA-adjacent client library on the host
- building on a host with no RDMA packages installed at all, since
libs3rdma resolves the RDMA stack itself at run time
CUDA is now absent from the SDK entirely: no CUDA header is included, no
CUDA library is linked, and cuda.h / nvidia-cufile.h / nvidia-cuobjclient.h
are gone. GPU buffers still work — the application allocates them and
links CUDA itself, exactly as before. Pointer classification moved into
libs3rdma, which resolves it through dlopen("libcuda.so.1") and reports
plain host memory when no driver is present.
minio::rdma::Client (rdma_client.h) is the new RAII wrapper: register,
mint token, classify pointer, plus the process-wide minio::rdma::Shared().
Registration is reference counted per address inside libs3rdma, so the
part registration nested inside an object registration now costs one
ibv_reg_mr instead of two.
Two behaviours changed and are documented rather than left to surprise:
- Client::Ready() reports a usable local RDMA device, not a reachable
server. DC is connectionless, so there is no session to probe. A
server that will not serve RDMA still declines per request with
x-amz-rdma-reply: 501 and the caller falls back to HTTP.
- kRDMAMaxMemoryRegSize is 4 GiB - 1, not 4 GiB: the descriptor carries
the window size in a 32-bit field.
The token minting retry no longer claims NIC failover, because the client
opens one device; it is a transient retry and says so.
libs3rdma is vendored for both x86_64 and aarch64 under vendor/s3rdma/,
built by build-libs.sh in the s3rdma repo.
From a CodeRabbit review of this branch. The RDMA link settings carried -Wl,-rpath pointing into the source tree, and that list is exported to consumers: an installed libminiocpp resolved libs3rdma only on the machine that built it, and nothing installed the library at all. That is why minio-go's CI copies it into /usr/local/lib by hand after cmake --install. Install both names alongside the library and set the rpath per target instead -- the vendor directory for the build tree, $ORIGIN for the install tree. The Client doc pointed at Client::SharedRDMAClient(), which belongs to minio::s3::Client and is protected; the process-wide accessor callers reach for is minio::rdma::Shared(), right below it. IsDeviceBuffer treats an unclassifiable pointer as device memory, which looks arbitrary without the reason: staging one through CUDA costs a failed copy and a clear error, while memcpy on a device pointer we guessed was host segfaults.
Picks up miniohq/s3rdma#17: s3rdma_client_free now claims the handle from a set held outside the allocation, so a double free is refused instead of dereferencing storage it just released.
Picks up the multi-rail client and server entry points, the handle-id registry, and the soname-only vendoring.
Concurrent PUTs crashed with a wild pointer read inside curl_multi_perform, reached from Request::execute(). The cause was the process-wide CURLSH: libcurl's own documentation warns that a shared connection cache is not safe to use from several threads at once, and the per-slot mutexes here did not make it so. Bisecting the slots on libcurl 8.5, 32 threads, three runs each: none clean CONNECT only crashes DNS only clean CONNECT + SSL_SESSION crashes DNS + SSL_SESSION crashes The sharing is the problem, not one slot, so dropping CONNECT alone would have left a rarer version of the same crash -- which is exactly what the first attempt at this did, and why it looked like CONNECT was innocent. Give each thread its own share instead of removing it. The share exists so a connection and TLS session outlive one Easy handle and a signed S3 call does not pay a fresh handshake every time; that benefit is per thread anyway. Nothing crosses threads now, so the lock callbacks and the mutex array are gone with it. Only the RDMA path drives this client from many threads at once, which is why the bug surfaced there rather than being new to it. Verified on a 32-thread reproducer with no Go involved: 8/8 runs clean, where the previous library crashed within a run or two. warp put --rdma=cpu at concurrency 32 goes from crashing to 3/3 clean runs at ~7.5 GiB/s, up from ~5.1 GiB/s before -- the threads are no longer contending on those global mutexes.

Registration is now RAII on the single-shot PUT and GET paths, matching what the multipart paths already did. The manual Deregister after the transfer is skipped whenever the call throws, and it can: those helpers sign and send an HTTP request, and curlpp throws. The buffer then stays pinned for the life of the process. minio::rdma::Client guards its handle before every call and keeps the reason init failed, which Shared() prints once at first use. A host with no RDMA hardware is an ordinary outcome and everything falls back to HTTP, but until now a misconfigured HCA looked exactly the same from outside -- the reason was passed a null buffer and discarded. ClientCtx::partNumber is std::optional rather than a zero sentinel, so a single-shot request cannot be mistaken for part zero of a multipart one. It keeps an in-class default: every member has one so designated- initializer construction does not trip -Wmissing-field-initializers, which is exactly what dropping it did. The share comment at the call site still said process-wide after the share became per-thread. Verified after all of it, on hardware: the 32-thread reproducer is 5/5 clean and warp put --rdma=cpu at concurrency 32 sustains ~7.4 GiB/s.
