Add the hack into iw_cxgb4 to force alloc_mr failures after 200 allocations (or whatever value you need to make it happen).  Then on the same machine, export a target device, load nvme-rdma and discover/connect to that target device with nvme.  It will crash.

Unfortunately, with the 4.7-rc2 base I'm using, I get no vmcore dump.  I'm not sure why...
