ibmr->page_size is really only supposed to be used by MRs that are
going to be used with FMR. It is some protocol to pass information to
the IB_WR_REG_MR op

The whole way rxe stores the MRs really could stand to be modernized,
just replace the whole mr->map and everything under it with a simple
xarray of page pointers.

You are right though, the page_size of the logical page array should
be global to the mr, not stored in every entry. It isn't a sgl, it is
a dynamic array. Just don't abuse ibmr->page_size for it..
