We have seen this happen over an IB analyzer. Recompiling the mthca driver with a high value like 64 or 128 works around this problem.
When the condition hits, the HCA receiving the 4+ RDMAs generates an invalid request error.

Any ideas as to when this patch might enter the mainline sources?

Thanks,

Leonid Arsh has a patch that I will integrate soon that makes this
configurable.

However, I'm curious.  Do you have a workload where this actually
makes a measurable difference?  It seems that having 4 RDMA requests
outstanding on the wire should be enough to get things to pipeline
pretty well.

If you haven't tested this, right now you can of course edit
mthca_main.c to change the default value and recompile.
