Not an expert. You may want to talk to Mellanox for the details but
AFAICT:

UD packets are not dropped at the switch level unless you reconfigure the
fabric to be lossy. Therefore xmitwaits occur in the same way as for RC
packets. Drops occur in between the HCA on the way to memory if there is
no space in the queue.
