That's a little cryptic... can you expand?

Right now I have a Tailscale VPN device with assigned IP
addresses:

3: tailscale0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1280 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500
    link/none      inet 100.64.0.16/32 scope global tailscale0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fd7a:115c:a1e0::10/128 scope global         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::725c:1b6d:60ed:fce4/64 scope link stable-privacy         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

And after that i/f is UP, I've done this:

 $ sudo rdma link add siw0 type siw netdev tailscale0

With the patch I sent, I can do NFS/RDMA via soft iWARP through
the tunnel. I'm not at all claiming that's a good fix, but only
that this scenario is supposed to work, but currently doesn't.
