Hi Zhijian, Guoqing, Leon, Bob

First of all, thanks for the patch and discussion.

IIUC, this problem is rxe specific, because rxe manipulate refcnt
itself? I checked mlx5/mlx4 they do not change the refcnt of pd when
create_kernel_qp.

So question is then if the bug is on rxe side or rtrs side?

Zhijian how do you reproduce the warning? do you inject error explictly?
