The problem was eventually traced to two bugs in the code:
1. the orted wasn't resetting the write event flag, thus preventing itself from turning it on again.
2. the HNP needed to check if the stdin was attached to tty or not before adding the delay for fairness. If it is attached to a tty, there is no need for the delay. This prevents some strangely slow typing response.
This patch needs to move to 1.3

Error output strings were changed to be unique per code site.
They are still pretty meaningless to the user, but at least now
developers might be able to find which unique place in the code
reported which error.

Consolidate the nid/pid lookup code with the rest of the nid/pid code so that changes are easier to track. Add the ability to send cluster profile info as part of the nidmap. Cleanup the setup and teardown of the new global nidmap and pidmap objects.
This commit was SVN r20219.
The modified cmd line options are:
--report-uri x where x is either '-' for stdout, '+' for stderr, or a filename
--report-pid x where x is the same as above
For orte-top, you can now provide either a pid or a uri (which allows connection to remote mpiruns), specified either directly or with a "file:x" option as per mpirun's ompi-server option.
Note: I did not add a report-pid option to ompi-server as it probably wouldn't be useful - the report-uri option works as well, and allows remote access (which is likely the normal way it would be used).
This commit was SVN r20168.
Also, per chat with Jeff, modified the Makefile.am's of a few orte tools so that they were consistent in the way we generate the ompi-equivalent cmds.

Basically, the remaining problem turned out to be:
1. closing stdout/stderr during orte_finalize of mpirun
2. inadvertently setting up a write event on fd = -1
3. devising a scheme to more accurately track when the stdin write event was active vs closed so it only got released once
This passed prelim MTT testing by Jeff and Tim, but should soak for awhile before migrating to 1.3.

It is a small launch performance improvement as now we relay the launch cmd across to the next daemon before taking the time to launch our own local procs. Still, it does allow more parallel operations during the launch procedure.
This commit was SVN r20104.
Enable one mpirun to act as the server for another mpirun when doing MPI_Publish_name and its associated operations. The user is responsible, of course, for ensuring that the mpirun acting as a server outlives any mpiruns using it in that capacity.
Add a cmd line option to mpirun --report-pid that prints out mpirun's pid. Allow the --ompi-server option to now take pid:# (or PID:#) of the mpirun to be used as the server, and then look that pid up by searching the local mpirun contact infos for it.
This commit was SVN r20102.
1. minor modification to include two new opal MCA params:
(a) opal_profile: outputs what components were selected by each framework
currently enabled for most, but not all, frameworks
(b) opal_profile_file: name of file that contains profile info required
for modex
2. introduction of two new tools:
(a) ompi-probe: MPI process that simply calls MPI_Init/Finalize with
opal_profile set. Also reports back the rml IP address for all
interfaces on the node
(b) ompi-profiler: uses ompi-probe to create the profile_file, also
reports out a summary of what framework components are actually
being used to help with configuration options
3. modification of the grpcomm basic component to utilize the
profile file in place of the modex where possible
4. modification of orterun so it properly sees opal mca params and
handles opal_profile correctly to ensure we don't get its profile
5. similar mod to orted as for orterun
6. addition of new test that calls orte_init followed by calls to
grpcomm.barrier
This is all completely benign unless actively selected. At the moment, it only supports modex-less launch for openib-based systems. Minor mod to the TCP btl would be required to enable it as well, if people are interested. Similarly, anyone interested in enabling other BTL's for modex-less operation should let me know and I'll give you the magic details.
This seems to significantly improve scalability provided the file can be locally located on the nodes. I'm looking at an alternative means of disseminating the info (perhaps in launch message) as an option for removing that constraint.
This commit was SVN r20098.
1. a direct callback from waitpid - this set the waitpid_fired flag
2. a notify event callback from the IOF - this set the iof complete flag
3. a message via the daemon cmd processor from the proc "de-registering" the sync, thus indicating it was going through MPI_Finalize.
The problem is that these could overlap, with the first two allowing the orted to declare the proc complete before the daemon had responded to #3.
This change forces all three events to flow through the daemon cmd processor, thus ensuring an ordered handling. I'm not certain this will solve the problem, but will await further MTT reports to see. Unfortunately, the problem doesn't show up on any manual or script-based tests I have been able to run, even when I duplicate the exact cmd that fails under MTT.
This commit was SVN r20074.
1. coordination of job completion notification to include a requirement for both waitpid detection AND notification that all iof pipes have been closed by the app
2. change of all IOF read and write events to be non-persistent so they can properly be shutdown and restarted only when required
3. addition of a delay (currently set to 10ms) before restarting the stdin read event. This was required to ensure that the stdout, stderr, and stddiag read events had an opportunity to be serviced in scenarios where large files are attached to stdin.

This commit does that by ensuring that daemons retain knowledge of proc location for all procs in their job family. It required a minor change to the ESS API to allow the daemons to update their pidmaps as data was received. In addition, the routed modules have been updated to take advantage of the newly available info, and the encode/decode pidmap utilities have been updated to communicate the required info in the launch message.
This commit was SVN r20022.
The slurm plm fork/exec's a call to srun to launch its daemons. When mpirun terminates, it then sends out a "terminate" command to those daemons. The daemons respond back to mpirun, and then exit.
If slurm itself is running on a slow network, and mpirun is running the OOB across a fast network, then it is possible for mpirun to receive notification of daemon termination and exit -before- the srun can complete its bookkeeping and declare the job as complete. When this happens, slurm becomes confused and loses state.
Mucho bad. :-/
This commit changes the termination logic so that mpirun will wait for srun to report complete before exiting. It also enables fully routed communications since it no longer requires daemons to report back that they are terminating, thus allowing the daemons to terminate asynchronously (thereby breaking routing paths).
This commit was SVN r20018.
1. modify the iof to track when a proc actually closes all of its open iof output pipes. When this occurs, notify the odls that the proc's iof is complete. This is done via a zero-time event so that we can step out of the read event before processing the notification.
2. in the odls, modify the waitpid callback so it only flags that it was called. Add a function to receive the iof-complete notification, and a function that checks for both iof complete and waitpid callback before declaring a proc fully terminated. This ensures that we read and deliver -all- of the IO prior to declaring the job complete.
Also modified the odls call to orte_iof.close (and the component's implementation) so it only closes stdin, leaving the other io channels alone. This fixes the other half of the known problem.
This should fix the ticket on this subject, but I'll wait to close it pending further testing in the trunk.

1. register "mpi_preconnect_all" as a deprecated synonym for "mpi_preconnect_mpi"
2. remove "mpi_preconnect_oob" and "mpi_preconnect_oob_simultaneous" as these are no longer valid.
3. remove the routed framework's "warmup_routes" API. With the removal of the direct routed component, this function at best only wasted communications. The daemon routes are completely "warmed up" during launch, so having MPI procs order the sending of additional messages is simply wasteful.
4. remove the call to orte_routed.warmup_routes from MPI_Init. This was the only place it was used anyway.
The FAQs will be updated to reflect this changed situation, and a CMR filed to move this to the 1.3 branch.

1. remove direct routed module (hooray!)
2. add radix tree routed module (binomial remains default)
3. remove duplicate data storage - orteds were storing nidmap and pidmap data in odls, everyone else in ess
4. add ess APIs to update nidmap, add new pidmap - used only by orteds for MPI-2 support
5. modify code to eliminate multiple calls to orte_routed.update_route that recreated info already in ess pidmap. Add ess API to lookup that info instead. Modify routed modules to utilize that capability
6. setup new ability to shutdown orteds without sending back an "ack" message to mpirun - not utilized yet, will require some changes to plm terminate_orteds functions in managed environments (coming soon)

This commit was SVN r19792.
1. completely and cleanly separates responsibilities between the HNP, orted, and tool components.
2. removes all wireup messaging during launch and shutdown.
3. maintains flow control for stdin to avoid large-scale consumption of memory by orteds when large input files are forwarded. This is done using an xon/xoff protocol.
4. enables specification of stdin recipients on the mpirun cmd line. Allowed options include rank, "all", or "none". Default is rank 0.
5. creates a new MPI_Info key "ompi_stdin_target" that supports the above options for child jobs. Default is "none".
6. adds a new tool "orte-iof" that can connect to a running mpirun and display the output. Cmd line options allow selection of any combination of stdout, stderr, and stddiag. Default is stdout.
7. adds a new mpirun and orte-iof cmd line option "tag-output" that will tag each line of output with process name and stream ident. For example, "[1,0]<stdout>this is output"
This is not intended for the 1.3 release as it is a major change requiring considerable soak time.

The segv was caused by the fact that we don't really know which daemon failed to start (at least, in most cases), so we didn't set a pointer to the aborted proc object. All we really wanted, though, was to ensure that mpirun returned a non-zero exit status, so the fix was to simply return the default error status.

If a message cannot be routed because the addressee isn't yet known, then the message is held on a queue in the RML for a period of time (currently set to 500 millisec). At the end of that time, we pop the message from the list and attempt to send it again. This action requires that we convert the header back to
network-byte-order before calling the OOB.
If the message still cannot be routed, we put the message back on the list and reset the timer. However, since we are going to convert the header when it com
es off of the list, we have to ntoh it before putting it back on the list so it all comes out right. This step was missing.
Thus, the problem only showed up relatively rarely because a message would have to be pushed onto the queue at least twice for the problem to surface.
This should fix a specific ticket (1389), but we will wait to see the results of MTT runs to verify. Note that we really don't know why a message is rattling around in the RML for so long, especially since this all seems to be happening during finalize, so this could cause mpirun to hang. Or it could simply trash the message and exit cleanly. Shall be interesting to see!

Provide support for four MPIR extensions that allow specification of debugger daemon executable, argv for the debugger daemon, whether or not to forward debugger daemon IO, and whether or not debugger daemon will piggy-back on ORTE OOB network. Last is not yet implemented.
No change in behavior or operation occurs unless (a) the debugger specifically utilizes the extensions and, for co-locate while running, the user specifically enables the capability via an MCA param. Two of the MPIR extensions supported here are used in a widely-used debugger for a large-scale installation. The other two extensions are new and being utilized in prototype work by several debuggers for possible future release.

This needs some soak time to ensure we haven't opened any race conditions. I tried to loop everything in the shutdown procedure through that trigger event call to ensure it all goes through the one-time locks as it did before so that someone hitting ctrl-c when we are already shutting down shouldn't cause problems. Just want to let people use it for awhile to verify.
This commit was SVN r19159.
During the discussion of MPI-2 functionality, it was pointed out by Aurelien that there was an inherent race condition between startup of ompi-server and mpirun. Specifically, if someone started ompi-server to run in the background as part of a script, and then immediately executed mpirun, it was possible that an MPI proc could attempt to contact the server (or that mpirun could try to read the server's contact file before the server is running and ready.
At that time, we discussed createing a new tool "ompi-wait-server" that would wait for the server to be running, and/or probe to see if it is running and return true/false. However, rather than create yet another tool, it seemed just as effective to add the functionality to mpirun.
Thus, this commit creates two new mpirun cmd line flags (hey, you can never have too many!):
--wait-for-server : instructs mpirun to ping the server to see if it responds. This causes mpirun to execute an rml.ping to the server's URI with an appropriate timeout interval - if the ping isn't successful, mpirun attempts it again.
--server-wait-time xx : sets the ping timeout interval to xx seconds. Note that mpirun will attempt to ping the server twice with this timeout, so we actually wait for twice this time. Default is 10 seconds, which should be plenty of time.
This has only lightly been tested. It works if the server is present, and outputs a nice error message if it cannot be contacted. I have not tested the race condition case.
This commit was SVN r19152.
Since OMPI allows mpirun to default to the local node, and since users want to retain the option to co-locate procs with mpirun, we needed another param to block this error case.

Standardize the handling of the orte launch agent option across PLMs. This has been a consistent complaint I have received - each PLM would register its own MCA param to get input on the launch agent for remote nodes (in fact, one or two didn't, but most did). This would then get handled in various and contradictory ways.
Some PLMs would accept only a one-word input. Others accepted multi-word args such as "valgrind orted", but then some would error by putting any prefix specified on the cmd line in front of the incorrect argument.
For example, while using the rsh launcher, if you specified "valgrind orted" as your launch agent and had "--prefix foo" on you cmd line, you would attempt to execute "ssh foo/valgrind orted" - which obviously wouldn't work.
This was all -very- confusing to users, who had to know which PLM was being used so they could even set the right mca param in the first place! And since we don't warn about non-recognized or non-used mca params, half of the time they would wind up not doing what they thought they were telling us to do.
To solve this problem, we did the following:
1. removed all mca params from the individual plms for the launch agent
2. added a new mca param "orte_launch_agent" for this purpose. To further simplify for users, this comes with a new cmd line option "--launch-agent" that can take a multi-word string argument. The value of the param defaults to "orted".
3. added a PLM base function that processes the orte_launch_agent value and adds the contents to a provided argv array. This can subsequently be harvested at-will to handle multi-word values
4. modified the PLMs to use this new function. All the PLMs except for the rsh PLM required very minor change - just called the function and moved on. The rsh PLM required much larger changes as - because of the rsh/ssh cmd line limitations - we had to correctly prepend any provided prefix to the correct argv entry.
5. added a new opal_argv_join_range function that allows the caller to "join" argv entries between two specified indices
Please let me know of any problems. I tried to make this as clean as possible, but cannot compile all PLMs to ensure all is correct.

Mpirun - and the orteds - were doing their best to whack all session dirs on their nodes just in case there was something lingering due to an abnormal termination. Unfortunately, they were -too- good at it. They were whacking all session directories under the user's name, even those from other mpiruns!
This adds another layer to the session dir tree so that we can denote which jobs come from our own job family, and restricts the cleanup operation to only session dirs from within our own job family. So we'll still cleanup anything due to our own mpirun, but won't whack any other mpirun from this user.
Call it being polite...
