Stefan,
We'll have to let somebody else chime in. I don't work on this project, just another user, enthusiast and I've spent, still spending much time tuning my own RDMA gluster configuration. In short, I won't have an answer for you. If nobody can answer, I'd suggest filing a bug, that way it can be tracked and reviewed by developers.

Dear Dan,
thanks for the quick reply!
I actually tried restarting all processes (and even rebooting all servers), but the error persists. I can also confirm that all birck processes are running. My volume is a distrubute-only volume (not dispersed, no sharding).
I also tried mounting with use_readdirp=no, because the error seems to be connected to readdirp, but this option does not change anything.
I found to options I might try: (gluster volume get myvolumename all | grep readdirp )
performance.force-readdirp true
dht.force-readdirp on
Can I turn off these safely? (or what precisely do they do?)
I also assured that all glusterd processes have unlimited locked memory.
Just to state it clearly: I do _not_ see any data corruption. Just the directory listings do not work (in very rare cases) with rdma transport:
"ls" shows only a part of the files.
but then I do:
stat /path/to/known/filename
it succeeds, and even
md5sum /path/to/known/filename/that/does/not/get/listed/with/ls
yields the correct result.
best wishes,
Stefan

One user had a directory with a large number of files (50,000 files) and just doing an "ls" in this directory yields a "Transport endpoint not connected" error. The effect is, that "ls" only shows some files, but not all.
