Looks like you're hitting this -- the cxgb3 driver has:

                case IB_WR_RDMA_READ:
                        t3_wr_opcode = T3_WR_READ;
t3_wr_flags = 0; /* T3 reads are always signaled */

so I guess the HW can't do unsignaled RDMA reads.

 - R.
Right.  This is a T3 hw limitation.  It will be fixed in the next chip.

Note that I _could_ add code in the driver/lib poll routine to "eat" these cqes. But there is a fundamental problem in that if the CQ is armed, then the HW _will_ generate an interrupt in this case. This leads to a "false notification" which breaks the semantics of the notification mechanism. I'm not sure how bad that is? To the application, it would receive a notification, then go poll and get nothing.
