It sounds like the problem is that both SDP and the CMA are trying to provide 
sockets-like behavior, which leads to this issue.  SDP needs to release the 
port, but still wants to keep the connection active.  This requires the CMA to 
do something different from sockets in order for SDP to maintain a sockets-like 
interface.  Does this sound like a correct interpretation of the issue?

This sounds like an SDP over CMA specific issue, correct?  Meaning that an 
rdma_unbind call is only needed by SDP?
