Is it really returning -ENOMEM? It seems much more likely that you
are hitting the code
/* For Arbel, all MTTs must fit in the same page. */
if (mthca_is_memfree(dev) &&
mr->attr.max_pages * sizeof *mr->mem.arbel.mtts > PAGE_SIZE)
return -EINVAL;
I guess you could call this limit a driver design issue.
- R.
