NAME
       ibv_import_mr - import an MR from a given ibv_pd

       ibv_unimport_mr - unimport an MR

SYNOPSIS
              #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

              struct ibv_mr *ibv_import_mr(struct ibv_pd *pd, uint32_t mr_handle);
              void ibv_unimport_mr(struct ibv_mr *mr)

DESCRIPTION
       ibv_import_mr()  returns  a  Memory region (MR) that is associated with
       the given mr_handle in the RDMA context that assosicated with the given
       pd.

       The  input  mr_handle value must be a valid kernel handle for an MR ob-
       ject in the assosicated RDMA context.  It  can  be  achieved  from  the
       original MR by getting its ibv_mr->handle member value.

       ibv_unimport_mr()  un  import the MR.  Once the MR usage has been ended
       ibv_dereg_mr() or ibv_unimport_mr() 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 MR.  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_mr() returns a pointer to the allocated MR, or NULL  if  the
       request fails.

NOTES
       The  addr field in the imported MR is not applicable, NULL value is ex-
       pected.
