In qperf, the ud_bi_bw test allocates a single buffer on each side. Then it posts that one buffer 1024 times for receive and 1024 times for send. While RXE is building up the send packet, the buffer is being overwritten by incoming receives. The current process of first calculating the CRC and then copying the buffer into the packet leaves a window in which the contents and the CRC can get out of sync. By copying the buffer into the packet and then calculating the CRC based on the packet contents we eliminate the window. This seems like very strange/reckless client behavior, but whether the client has mangled the buffer or not RXE should be able to transfer it reliably.
