[libfabric-users] multi-receive CQ entry with FI_MULTI_RECV, not the last one read by fi_cq_read()?

This should be the case.  What version of the library are you using?

Are you posting more than 1 multi-recv buffer?  There were issues in older code where providers were reposting multi-recv buffers to the end of the receive queue.  So, if there were 2 buffers posted, received data would intermingle between them.  (Data ordering was unaffected).
