Just to really make sure you client QP RNR retry counter being set to
zero, you can issue a QP --query-- after the connection is established
and see what value is actually configured into it.
Its unclear what you mean by "fails to promptly post receives", if you
don't post any receive I assume you do get a completion with failure on
the client send, correct? what's the failure code (wc.status)? AFAIK,
you must get failures if there is no RX WQE to serve the incoming packet
and the RNR retries at the sender are set to zero.
So, does the setting mean anything on the receiving end? I.e., no matter
what the NFS/RDMA server sets it to, shouldn't we expect the client's
sends to fail if they don't land on the first try in a receive buffer there?
That's why the client zeroes rnr_retry - the RPC/RDMA protocol manages
this so we don't want the transport "helping".
Also, from your description it sounds like you need also the server to
set this to zero when calling rdma_accept
