Calling arp_send() to initiate neighbour discovery (ND) doesn't do the
full ND protocol.  Namely, it doesn't handle retransmitting the arp
request if it is dropped. The function neigh_event_send() does all
this.  Without doing full ND, RDMA address resolution fails in the
presence of dropped ARP broadcast packets.
