Are you sure we don't need this?
 From my stress tests and performance tests, it will get better performance
to remove skb_clone.

My concern is only with the above ref count.
I agree with yuval in case xmit fails.
    send_atomic_ack()
    {
       rxe_xmit_packet()
       {
          rxe_send()
          {
         rxe_add_ref(pkt->qp)  <--- add qp ref
         err = ip_local_out() <---- fail here
          }

       if (rxe_xmit_packet() fails) {
        rxe_drop_ref(qp) <--- you must deref here
       }
    }
Thank you very much. Very nice. I will make a new patch with it.

And there is no memory leak.  The whole soft RoCE can work well.
So I think removing this function is a good choice.
