Hi all,

After reading the implementation of ibv_reg_mr() and ibv_reg_mr_iova(), 
I am confused about three variables(i.e. addr, iova, hca_va).

What do these three variables mean? what is the difference between them?

Best Regards,

Xiao Yang

Addr is the 'void *'

iova/hca_va reflect the address placed in the RDMA packets

There is a translation between the CPU virtual address and the RDMA
MR's address space.
