NAME         top

       ibv_alloc_parent_domain(), ibv_dealloc_pd() - allocate and
       deallocate the parent domain object

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       struct ibv_pd *ibv_alloc_parent_domain(struct ibv_context *context, struct ibv_parent_domain_init_attr *attr);

DESCRIPTION         top

       ibv_alloc_parent_domain() allocates a parent domain object for
       the RDMA device context context.

       The parent domain object extends the normal protection domain
       with additional objects, such as a thread domain.

       A parent domain is completely interchangeable with the struct
       ibv_pd used to create it, and can be used as an input argument to
       any function accepting a struct ibv_pd.

       The behavior of each verb may be different if the verb is passed
       a parent domain struct ibv_pd that contains a struct ibv_td
       pointer.  For instance the verb may choose to share resources
       between objects using the same thread domain. The exact behavior
       is provider dependent.

       The attr argument specifies the following:

       enum ibv_parent_domain_init_attr_mask {
               IBV_PARENT_DOMAIN_INIT_ATTR_ALLOCATORS = 1 << 0,
               IBV_PARENT_DOMAIN_INIT_ATTR_PD_CONTEXT = 1 << 1,
       };

       struct ibv_parent_domain_init_attr {
               struct ibv_pd *pd; /* reference to a protection domain, can't be NULL */
               struct ibv_td *td; /* reference to a thread domain, or NULL */
               uint32_t comp_mask;
               void *(*alloc)(struct ibv_pd *pd, void *pd_context, size_t size,
                              size_t alignment, uint64_t resource_type);
               void (*free)(struct ibv_pd *pd, void *pd_context, void *ptr,
                            uint64_t resource_type);
               void *pd_context;
       };

       ibv_dealloc_pd() will deallocate the parent domain as its exposed
       as an ibv_pd pd.  All resources created with the parent domain
       should be destroyed prior to deallocating the parent domain.

ARGUMENTS         top

       pd Reference to the protection domain that this parent domain
       uses.

       td An optional thread domain that the parent domain uses.

       comp_mask Bit-mask of optional fields in the
       ibv_parent_domain_init_attr struct.

       alloc Custom memory allocation function for this parent domain.
       Provider memory allocations will use this function to allocate
       the needed memory.  The allocation function is passed the parent
       domain pd and the user-specified context pd_context.  In
       addition, the callback receives the size and the alignment of the
       requested buffer, as well a vendor-specific resource_type , which
       is derived from the rdma_driver_id enum (upper 32 bits) and a
       vendor specific resource code.  The function returns the pointer
       to the allocated buffer, or NULL to designate an error.  It may
       also return IBV_ALLOCATOR_USE_DEFAULT asking the callee to
       allocate the buffer using the default allocator.

       The callback makes sure the allocated buffer is initialized with
       zeros. It is also the responsibility of the callback to make sure
       the memory cannot be COWed, e.g. by using madvise(MADV_DONTFORK)
       or by allocating anonymous shared memory.

       free Callback to free memory buffers that were allocated using a
       successful alloc().

       pd_context A pointer for additional user-specific data to be
       associated with this parent domain. The pointer is passed back to
       the custom allocator functions.

RETURN VALUE         top

       ibv_alloc_parent_domain() returns a pointer to the allocated
       struct ibv_pd object, or NULL if the request fails (and sets
       errno to indicate the failure reason).
