NAME
       mlx5dv_pp_alloc - Allocates a packet pacing entry

       mlx5dv_pp_free - Frees a packet pacing entry

SYNOPSIS
              #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>

              struct mlx5dv_pp *
              mlx5dv_pp_alloc(struct ibv_context *context,
                      size_t pp_context_sz,
                      const void *pp_context,
                      uint32_t flags);

              void mlx5dv_pp_free(struct mlx5dv_pp *dv_pp);

DESCRIPTION
       Create / free a packet pacing entry which can be used for some device
       commands over the DEVX interface.

       The DEVX API enables direct access from the user space area to the mlx5
       device driver, the packet pacing information is needed for few commands
       where a packet pacing index is needed.

ARGUMENTS
       context
              RDMA device context to work on, need to be opened with DEVX
              support by using mlx5dv_open_device().

       pp_context_sz
              Length of pp_context input buffer.

       pp_context
              Packet pacing context according to the device specification.

       flags  MLX5DV_PP_ALLOC_FLAGS_DEDICATED_INDEX: allocate a dedicated
              index.

   dv_pp
              struct mlx5dv_pp {
                  uint16_t index;
              };

       index  The device index to be used.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon success mlx5dv_pp_alloc returns a pointer to the created packet
       pacing object, on error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.
