NAME

       mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar - Allocates a DEVX UAR

       mlx5dv_devx_free_uar - Frees a DEVX UAR

SYNOPSIS

              #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>

              struct mlx5dv_devx_uar *mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar(struct ibv_context *context,
                                                            uint32_t flags);

              void mlx5dv_devx_free_uar(struct mlx5dv_devx_uar *devx_uar);

DESCRIPTION

       Create  /  free  a  DEVX  UAR  which  is  needed  for  other device commands over the DEVX
       interface.

       The DEVX API enables direct access from the user space area to the mlx5 device driver, the
       UAR information is needed for few commands as of QP creation.

ARGUMENTS

       context
              RDMA device context to work on.

       flags  Allocation   flags  for  the  UAR.   MLX5DV_UAR_ALLOC_TYPE_BF:  Allocate  UAR  with
              Blueflame  properties.   MLX5DV_UAR_ALLOC_TYPE_NC:  Allocate  UAR  with   non-cache
              properties.

   devx_uar
              struct mlx5dv_devx_uar {
                  void *reg_addr;
                  void *base_addr;
                  uint32_t page_id;
                  off_t mmap_off;
                  uint64_t comp_mask;
              };

       reg_addr
              The write address of DB/BF.

       base_addr
              The base address of the UAR.

       page_id
              The device page id to be used.

       mmap_off
              The  mmap  offset  parameter  to  be used for re-mapping, to be used by a secondary
              process.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon success mlx5dv_devx_alloc_uar will return a new struct mlx5dv_devx_uar, on error NULL
       will be returned and errno will be set.
