I've tried your script and don't see any difference between modes with
and without -d1, however my network is small - two hosts and switch,
probably this is different from your.
Also I see that finally port becomes active but after delay. Those
delays look strange and inconsistent, I will need to test more tomorrow.
Could you try such modification for your script?
i=1
while true; do
modprobe -r ib_mthca
sleep 3
modprobe ib_mthca
count=0
while true ; do
ibstat | egrep 'State: Active$' > /dev/null
test $? -eq 0 && break
count=`expr $count + 1`
sleep 1
done
echo $i: delay $count
sleep 3
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

It is not committed yet and I think that the problems are different
there (not sure however).
One reseeper related simpthom which "atomic" patch should solve is when
outstanding mad counter becomes corrupted and has negative values - this
stucks osm in resweep state. But in my tests it takes longer time to
reproduce this failure (but again, my network is small).
