in Ceph, the RDMA support has been constantly worked on. xio messenger
support was added 4 years ago, but i don't think it's maintained
anymore. and async messenger was IB protocol support. i think that's
what you wanted to try out. recently, we added the iWARP support to
the async messenger, see https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/20297. that
change also brought better connection management by using rdma-cm to
Ceph. and i believe to get RDMA support we should have
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/14681, which is still pending on
review.

the RDMA support in Ceph is completely driven by our community. and we
don't have the hardware (NIC) for testing RoCEv2/iWARP, not to mention
IB. so i can hardly tell from the maintainer's perspective.
