I originally noticed this issue with a bidirectional bandwidth
measurement tool(that we use internally).

Later I wrote a small program to quickly recreate this issue.
please follow the below steps:

- git clone https://github.com/krishna-e/rdma-example-programs
- cd rdma-example-programs/IBV_WR_RDMA_WRITE_for_SIW_plus_4_issue/

- server side:
	# cc -g server.c  -libverbs -lrdmacm  -o server
	# ./server <any_integer_data>


- client side:
	# echo -n 'module siw +p' >
	# /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
        (just to slow down the client processing by enabling traces)

	# cc -g client.c  -libverbs -lrdmacm  -o client
	# ./client <ip_address>

	output:
	Unexpected event : RDMA_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR
