I also hit this today (on the 5.18 kernel) while running xfstest
generic/460 using soft iWarp. In my case the port was properly
configured. The test was going. I'm not sure exactly what happened. I
know I also crashed the server that I was running against. But the
point I would like to make is that this condition is possible to get
to on a properly configured system.
