just configure IP
ifconfig enP48p1s0f0 33.33.33.33 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
then partner system configure IP and then try ping -f
ping -f 33.33.33.33
PING 33.33.33.33 (33.33.33.33) 56(84) bytes of data.

you will see rx_wqe_err with a counter non-zero.

I did a git clone to the cosmic tree and loaded the kernel in a system.
kernel 4.18.12 and I can recreate it.

Let me check if the proposed patch needs backport or not.

I was able to apply the proposed patch as it to the cosmic git tree and no
issue. (no need to backport)
using a kernel 4.18.12+.
With the proposed patch I do not see wqe err and ping does not stop.
ethtool -S enp1s0f0 | grep wqe_err
rx_wqe_err: 0
rx0_wqe_err: 0
rx1_wqe_err: 0
rx2_wqe_err: 0

rx4_wqe_err: 0
rx5_wqe_err: 0
rx6_wqe_err: 0
rx7_wqe_err: 0
rx8_wqe_err: 0
rx9_wqe_err: 0
rx10_wqe_err: 0
