Hmm, in this simple up/down case with a switch, I think it might actually be OK. Transactions might not complete at the NVMe device before the CPU processes the RDMA completion, however due to the PCI-E ordering rules new TLPs directed to the NVMe will complete after the RMDA TLPs and thus observe the new data. (eg order preserving) It would be very hard to use P2P if fabric ordering is not preserved..
