Works here, I just did:

[root@f2 ~]# modprobe rdma_rxe
[root@f2 ~]# echo -n ens3 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add 

dmesg says:
[   35.595534] rdma_rxe: set rxe0 active
[   35.595541] rdma_rxe: added rxe0 to ens3


Actually for a dummy interface if I try the echo directly the echo
works, and a verb device is created, and I just confirmed I can use
it... so not sure why rxe_cfg said EINVAL earlier...

[root@f2 ~]# ip link add dummy0 type dummy
[root@f2 ~]# ip link set dummy0 up
[root@f2 ~]# ip addr add 10.1.1.1/24 dev dummy0
[root@f2 ~]# modprobe rdma_rxe
[root@f2 ~]# echo -n dummy0 > /sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/add 


(then using my test client:
[root@f2 src]# ./rcat -s
INFO:  trans_rdma.c (879), msk_cma_event_handler: CONNECT_REQUEST
INFO:  trans_rdma.c (862), msk_cma_event_handler: ESTABLISHED
INFO:  trans_rdma.c (917), msk_cma_event_handler: DISCONNECT EVENT...

[root@f2 src]# ./rcat -c 10.1.1.1
INFO:  trans_rdma.c (862), msk_cma_event_handler: ESTABLISHED
^C
)


I assume your syz1 interface is a tap device as you were saying earlier?
Got anything in dmesg?
