In general, I have 2 more similar bugs pending submissions and would
like to know the procedure.
I think the procedure is to just submit them and mark them for stable.

Do *not* include a reproducer (or necessarily enough hints to
trivially write one). Although with rdma, this is presumably limited
to only hardware that actually has rdma support (and exposes it, so
presumably not any VM in server farms where the hardware does do
rdma), so it's presumably not a huge issue.

I mean, if you actually have shell access on some server (and not in a
VM), you already pretty much are the sysadmin.
