NAME
       ibv_import_pd - import a PD from a given ibv_context

       ibv_unimport_pd - unimport a PD

SYNOPSIS
              #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

              struct ibv_pd *ibv_import_pd(struct ibv_context *context, uint32_t pd_handle);
              void ibv_unimport_pd(struct ibv_pd *pd)

DESCRIPTION
       ibv_import_pd()  returns  a  protection  domain (PD) that is associated
       with the given pd_handle in the given context.

       The input pd_handle value must be a valid kernel handle for a PD object
       in  the given context.  It can be achieved from the original PD by get-
       ting its ibv_pd->handle member value.

       The returned ibv_pd can be used in all verbs that get a protection  do-
       main.

       ibv_unimport_pd()  unimport  the  PD.  Once the PD usage has been ended
       ibv_dealloc_pd() or ibv_unimport_pd() 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 PD.  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_pd() returns a pointer to the allocated PD, or NULL  if  the
       request fails.
