Yes, as Andi said, we do the csum while copying the data for the
sender : (I disabled hardware assist tx checksum using 'ethtool -K eth0
tx off')

And the receiver should also do the same : (ethtool -K eth0 rx off)

    10.55%    netserver  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k]

So I suspect something is wrong with IPoIB.
