At least for InfiniBand when the state of a queue pair is changed to
Error, work requests must be completed in error. The above code just
flushes pending work requests. That doesn't look correct to me.

A quote from the InfiniBand Architecture Specification, table 91, QP
State Transition Properties:

Any state to Reset: QP attributes are reset to the same values after
the QP was created. Outstanding Work Requests are removed from the
queues without notifying the Consumer.
