+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B ibv_alloc_mw()
+allocates a memory window (MW) associated with the protection domain
+.I pd\fR.
+The MW's type (1 or 2A/2B) is
+.I type\fR.
+.PP
+The MW is created not bound. For it to be useful, the MW must be bound, through either ibv_bind_mw (type 1) or a special WR (type 2).
+Once bound, the memory window allows RDMA (remote) access to a subset of the MR to which it was bound,
+until invalidated by: ibv_bind_mw verb with zero length for type 1,
+IBV_WR_LOCAL_INV/IBV_WR_SEND_WITH_INV WR opcode for type 2, deallocation.
+.PP
+.B ibv_dealloc_mw()
+Unbinds in case was previously bound and deallocates the MW
+.I mw\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B ibv_alloc_mw()
+returns a pointer to the allocated MW, or NULL if the request fails.
+The remote key (\fBR_Key\fR)
+field
+.B rkey
+is used by remote processes to perform Atomic and RDMA operations. This key will be changed during bind operations. The remote process places this
+.B rkey
+as the rkey field of struct ibv_send_wr passed to the ibv_post_send function.
+.PP
+.B ibv_dealloc_mw()
+returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
+.SH "NOTES"
+.B ibv_dereg_mr()
+fails if any memory window is still bound to this MR.

+.B ibv_bind_mw()
+posts to the queue pair
+.I qp
+a request to bind the memory window
+.I mw
+according to the details in
+.I mw_bind\fR.
+.PP
+The argument
+.I mw_bind
+is an ibv_mw_bind struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.
+.PP

+.in -8
+};
+.fi
+.PP
+The QP Transport Service Type must be either UC, RC or XRC_SEND for bind operations.
+.PP
+The attribute send_flags describes the properties of the \s-1WR\s0. It is either 0 or the bitwise \s-1OR\s0 of one or more of the following flags:
+.PP
+.TP
+.B IBV_SEND_FENCE \fR Set the fence indicator.
+.TP
+.B IBV_SEND_SIGNALED \fR Set the completion notification indicator. Relevant only if QP was created with sq_sig_all=0
+.PP
+The mw_access_flags define the allowed access to the MW after the bind
+completes successfully. It is either 0 or the bitwise \s-1OR\s0 of one
+or more of the following flags:
+.TP
+.B IBV_ACCESS_REMOTE_WRITE \fR Enable Remote Write Access. Requires local write access to the MR.
+.TP
+.B IBV_ACCESS_REMOTE_READ\fR Enable Remote Read Access
+.TP
+.B IBV_ACCESS_REMOTE_ATOMIC\fR Enable Remote Atomic Operation Access (if supported). Requires local write access to the MR.
+.TP
+.B IBV_ACCESS_ZERO_BASED\fR If set, the address set on the 'remote_addr' field on the WR will be an offset from the MW's start address.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B ibv_bind_mw()
+returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which
+indicates the failure reason). In case of a success, the R_key of the
+memory window after the bind is returned in the mw_bind->mw->rkey field.
+.SH "NOTES"
+The bind does not complete when the function return - it is merely
+posted to the QP. The user should keep a copy of the old R_key, and
+fix the mw structure if the subsequent CQE for the bind operation
+indicates a failure. The user may safely send the R_key using a send
+request on the same QP, (based on QP ordering rules: a send after a bind
+request on the same QP are always ordered), but must not transfer it to the
+remote in any other manner before reading a successful CQE.
+.PP
+Note that for type 2 MW, one should directly post bind WR to the QP,
+using ibv_post_send.
