.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B ibv_register_sm_events()
registers for the specified subnet events for the specified GID(s).
ibv_unregister_sm_events() unregisters for the specified subnet events
for the specified GID(s). These events are delivered on the async fd
(see ibv_get_async_event(3)), from a previously opened device (see
ibv_open_device()). It is only necessary to call ibv_register_sm_events()
on a single device connected to each unique fabric, partition. For
example, if a node has 4 HCAs attached to the same fabric, with all
ports in the same partition, then it is only necessary to call
ibv_register_sm_events() on one of them.
