Possibly.
Maybe Vlad knows more?
 From http://www.openfabrics.org/txt/documentation/linux/EWG_meeting_minutes/12_01_08.txt:
1419 	maj 	vlad at mellanox 	Iperf-2.0.4 fails: page allocation failure. order:5
I guess that means https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1419
Not much progress on that bug, though.
