This releases the Python GIL when calling the following functions: - rdma_get_request (CMID.get_request) - rdma_get_send_comp (CMID.get_send_comp) - rdma_get_recv_comp (CMID.get_recv_comp) This allows the user to create a functional multithreaded Python application using the PyVerbs API.

It would be useful if we can somehow get a list of all the blocking functions, such that I can update this PR to also release the GIL for those functions. For my application I only needed to release the GIL for these functions, but I'm sure there are more blocking functions for which it makes sense to release the GIL. It's not a blocker for this PR though. |
