+# NAME
+
+DCA - Dynamic Context Attachment
+
+This allows all WQEs to share a memory pool that belongs to the user context.
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+The DCA feature aims to reduce memory consumption by sharing WQE memory for QPs working in sparse traffic scenarios.
+
+The DCA memory pool consists of multiple umem objects. Each umem object is a buffer allocated in user driver and register into kernel driver. The ULP need to setup the memory pool's parameter by calling hnsdv_open_device() and the driver will expand or shrink the memory pool based on this parameter.
+
+When a QP's DCA was enabled by setting create flags through ibv_create_qp_ex(), the WQE buffer will not be allocated directly until the ULP invokes the ibv_post_xxx(). If the memory in the pool is insufficient and the capacity expansion conditions are met, the driver will add new umem objects to the pool.
+
+When all WQEs of a QP are not used by the ROCEE after ibv_poll_cq() or ibv_modify_qp() are invoked, the WQE buffer will be reclaimed to the DCA memory pool. If the free memory in the pool meets the shrink conditions, the driver will delete the unused umem object.

+# NAME
+
+hnsdv - Direct verbs for hns devices
+
+This provides low level access to hns devices to perform direct operations,
+without general branching performed by libibverbs.
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+The libibverbs API is an abstract one. It is agnostic to any underlying provider specific implementation. While this abstraction has the advantage of user applications portability, it has a performance penalty. For some applications optimizing performance is more important than portability.
+
+The hns direct verbs API is intended for such applications. It exposes hns specific low level operations, allowing the application to bypass the libibverbs API.
+
+The direct include of hnsdv.h together with linkage to hns library will allow usage of this new interface.

+# NAME
+
+hnsdv_create_qp - creates a queue pair (QP)
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+```c
+#include <infiniband/hnsdv.h>
+
+struct ibv_qp *hnsdv_create_qp(struct ibv_context *context,
+			       struct ibv_qp_init_attr_ex *attr,
+			       struct hnsdv_qp_init_attr *hns_attr)
+```
+
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+**hnsdv_create_qp()** creates a queue pair (QP) with specific driver properties.
+
+# ARGUMENTS
+
+Please see *ibv_create_qp_ex(3)* man page for *context* and *attr*.
+
+## hns_attr
+
+```c
+struct hnsdv_qp_init_attr {
+	uint64_t comp_mask;
+	uint32_t create_flags;
+};
+```
+
+*comp_mask*
+:	Bitmask specifying what fields in the structure are valid:
+	HNSDV_QP_INIT_ATTR_MASK_QP_CREATE_FLAGS:
+		valid values in *create_flags*
+
+*create_flags*
+:	A bitwise OR of the various values described below.
+
+	HNSDV_QP_CREATE_DYNAMIC_CONTEXT_ATTACH :
+		Enable DCA feature for QP, the WQE buffer will allocate
+		from DCA memory pool when calling ibv_post_send() or
+		ibv_post_recv().
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+**hnsdv_create_qp()**
+returns a pointer to the created QP, on error NULL will be returned and errno will be set.
