That's great to hear...

Unfortunately, I no longer have admin access to a large cluster with 
Mellanox HCAs, as I just changed jobs.

I did my best to thoroughly test FreeBSD IB before I left my old 
position.  This was the only outstanding issue with the FreeBSD file 
server I was testing, so if this fix resolves it, I would say that 
FreeBSD is production-ready for IB clusters.
