If you create one large MR (and have only one rkey) you cannot give this key to a remote side and prevent him from writing to all of the MR, so maybe you should consider holding several MRs. In the IB spec there is a mechanism that should help you managing remote access in more flexible way, this mechanism called Memory Window, but the gen2 driver doesn't support MW (yet?).
