      That's just some random idea. :) Some other ideas like to share RQ
buffer based on source-destination address, per CPU RQ buffer ...which
might hurt performance too much?

      It might be too complicated to have UD/RC mode coexisted?

      Maybe it's better to set up a small RQ size for now, and later when
high watermark patch is available we can use it to address RQ overrun?

Thanks
Shirley
