^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am not sure what the interaction between page sizes, TSO needs,
buffer needs and all that are but I always use a power of 2 wsize
and rsize. You might try that. And as Rick suggested, turn of
TSO, if you can. Is infiniband using RDMA to do this, if so then
the page size stuff is probably very important, use multiples of
4096 only.
