Hold on... not sure what you mean by a "queue pair reset" but the IB
spec does not say that a flush error should be generated when a QP is
transitioned to the "reset" state.  The flush error completions are
required when a QP is transitioned to the "error" state, and in fact
completion entries may be lost when a QP transitions to "reset".

As far as I know every HCA supported by Linux does implement this
correctly.  Which class did you have in mind as not doing that?

 - R.
