NAME

       ibv_import_dm - import an DM from a given ibv_context

       ibv_unimport_dm - unimport an DM

SYNOPSIS

              #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

              struct ibv_dm *ibv_import_dm(struct ibv_context *context, uint32_t dm_handle);
              void ibv_unimport_dm(struct ibv_dm *dm)

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_import_dm()  returns  a Device memory (DM) that is associated with the given dm_handle
       in the RDMA context.

       The input dm_handle value must  be  a  valid  kernel  handle  for  an  DM  object  in  the
       assosicated  RDMA  context.   It  can  be  achieved  from  the  original DM by getting its
       ibv_dm->handle member value.

       ibv_unimport_dm() un import the DM.  Once the DM usage has  been  ended  ibv_free_dm()  or
       ibv_unimport_dm()  should  be  called.  The first one will go to the kernel to destroy the
       object once the second one way cleanup what ever is needed/opposite of the import  without
       calling the kernel.

       This  is  the  responsibility  of the application to coordinate between all ibv_context(s)
       that use this DM.  Once destroy is done no other process can touch the object  except  for
       unimport.  All users of the context must collaborate to ensure this.

RETURN VALUE

       ibv_import_dm()  returns  a  pointer to the allocated DM, or NULL if the request fails and
       errno is set.
