long-standing bugs (see trac ticket list below). They're currently
somewhat obscure bugs, but are becoming much more relevant in a world
where OpenFabrics devices fail and you replace them with a newer model
(i.e., the cluster is homogeneous... ''except'' for where you had to
replace one or two OpenFabrics devices, and the same model is no
longer available).
This commit includes a '''lengthy''' comment (that we spent a lot of
time writing!) about what exactly it does and does not do. The
previous code was rather short and '''incredibly''' subtle. The new
code is slightly longer, but is both much more explicit and much more
painstakingly documented.
This commit fixes multiple trac tickets. The real one that we fix is
#1707; the others are fixed as a side-effect. In short: fixing #1707
prevents Bad Things from happening later in the startup sequence.
Fixes trac:1707, #2164, #1574.

Ticket 1707 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1707
and https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1853, mallopt() hints do
not always work -- it is possible for memory to be returned to the OS
and therefore OMPI's registration cache becomes invalid.
This commit removes all use of mallopt() and uses a different way to
integrate ptmalloc2 than we have done in the past. In particular, we
use almost exactly the same technique as MX:
* Remove all uses of mallopt, to include the opal/memory mallopt
component.
* Name-shift all of OMPI's internal ptmalloc2 public symbols (e.g.,
malloc -> opal_memory_ptmalloc2_malloc).
* At run-time, use the existing glibc allocator malloc hook function
pointers to fully hijack the glibc allocator with our own
name-shifted ptmalloc2.
* Make the decision whether to hijack the glibc allocator ''at run
time'' (vs. at link time, as previous ptmalloc2 integration
attempts have done). Look at the OMPI_MCA_mpi_leave_pinned
and OMPI_MCA_mpi_leave_pinned_pipeline environment variables and
the existence of /sys/class/infiniband to determine if we should
install the hooks or not.
* As an added bonus, we can now tell if libopen-pal is linked
statically or dynamically, and if we're linked statically, we
assume that munmap intercept support doesn't work.
See the opal/mca/memory/ptmalloc2/README-open-mpi.txt file for all the
gory details about the implementation.

Commit from a long-standing Mercurial tree that ended up incorporating a lot of things:
* A few fixes for CPC interface changes in all the CPCs
* Attempts (but not yet finished) to fix shutdown problems in the IB CM CPC
* #1319: add CTS support (i.e., initiator guarantees to send first message; automatically activated for iWARP over the RDMA CM CPC)
* Some variable and function renamings to make this be generic (e.g., alloc_credit_frag became alloc_control_frag)
* CPCs no longer post receive buffers; they only post a single receive buffer for the CTS if they use CTS. Instead, the main BTL now posts the main sets of receive buffers.
* CPCs allocate a CTS buffer only if they're about to make a connection
* RDMA CM improvements:
* Use threaded mode openib fd monitoring to wait for for RDMA CM events
* Synchronize endpoint finalization and disconnection between main thread and service thread to avoid/fix some race conditions
* Converted several structs to be OBJs so that we can use reference counting to know when to invoke destructors
* Make some new OBJ's have opal_list_item_t's as their base, thereby eliminating the need for the local list_item_t type
* Renamed many variables to be internally consistent
* Centralize the decision in an inline function as to whether this process or the remote process is supposed to be the initiator
* Add oodles of OPAL_OUTPUT statements for debugging (hard-wired to output stream -1; to be activated by developers if they want/need them)
* Use rdma_create_qp() instead of ibv_create_qp()
* openib fd monitoring improvements:
* Renamed a bunch of functions and variables to be a little more obvious as to their true function
* Use pipes to communicate between main thread and service thread
* Add ability for main thread to invoke a function back on the service thread
* Ensure to set initiator_depth and responder_resources properly, but putting max_qp_rd_ataom and ma_qp_init_rd_atom in the modex (see rdma_connect(3))
* Ensure to set the source IP address in rdma_resolve() to ensure that we select the correct OpenFabrics source port
* Make new MCA param: openib_btl_connect_rdmacm_resolve_timeout
* Other improvements:
* btl_openib_device_type MCA param: can be "iw" or "ib" or "all" (or "infiniband" or "iwarp")
* Somewhat improved error handling
* Bunches of spelling fixes in comments, VERBOSE, and OUTPUT statements
* Oodles of little coding style fixes
* Changed shutdown ordering of btl; the device is now an OBJ with ref counting for destruction
* Added some more show_help error messages
* Change configury to only build IBCM / RDMACM if we have threads (because we need a progress thread)

(related to the presence of posix threads and ptmalloc2) is now a
little outdated: since we don't build ptmalloc2 as part of libopal
anymore, the openib BTL's requirements are not directly tied to
ptmalloc2's anymore. Specifically, I altered the test to:
1. At compile time, if no threads are found, the ptmalloc2 component
is going to be built, '''and the ptmalloc2 component is going to be
inside libopal,''' then refuse to build the openib BTL.
1. At run time, if no threads were available at compile time and the
ptmalloc2 component is part of the process, then refuse to use the
openib BTL.

Ticket 1285 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1285
* allow receive_queues to be specified in the INI file
* detect when multiple different receive_queues are specified and
gracefully abort
However, accomplishing these goals ran into multiple difficulties. By
putting receive_queues in the INI file:
1. we may not find the value until we've already traversed multiple HCAs
1. we may find multiple different receive_queues values
But since the openib btl initializes as it discovers each HCA/port/LID
(including the BSRQ data), if we find a new receive_queues value late
in the discovery process, then all the BSRQ data that was previously
initialized will likely be invalid. So I had to pull all the BSRQ
initialization out until after the rest of the discovery /
initialization process.
Additionally, note that if the user specifies the MCA parameter
btl_openib_receive_queues, it trumps whatever was in the INI file. So
in this case, there can never be a receive_queues conflict. This
commit does the following (Jon wrote part of this, too):
* adapt _ini.c to accept the "receive_queues" field in the file
* move 90% of _setup_qps() from _ini.c to _component.c
* move what was left of _setup_qps() into the main
_register_mca_params() function
* adapt init_one_hca() to detect conflicting receive_queues values
from the INI file
* after the _component.c loop calling init_one_hca():
* call setup_qps() to parse the final receive_queues string value
* traverse all resulting btls and initialize their HCAs (if they
weren't already): setup some lists and call prepare_hca_for_use()
I tested this code on a dual-HCA system where I artificially put in
differing receive_queues values in the INI file for the two different
types of HCAs that I have and it all seemed to work.

1. Galen's fine-grain control of queue pair resources in the openib
BTL.
1. Pasha's new implementation of asychronous HCA event handling.
Pasha's new implementation doesn't take much explanation, but the new
"multifrag" stuff does.
Note that "svn merge" was not used to bring this new code from the
/tmp/ib_multifrag branch -- something Bad happened in the periodic
trunk pulls on that branch making an actual merge back to the trunk
effectively impossible (i.e., lots and lots of arbitrary conflicts and
artifical changes). :-(
== Fine-grain control of queue pair resources ==
Galen's fine-grain control of queue pair resources to the OpenIB BTL
(thanks to Gleb for fixing broken code and providing additional
functionality, Pasha for finding broken code, and Jeff for doing all
the svn work and regression testing).
Prior to this commit, the OpenIB BTL created two queue pairs: one for
eager size fragments and one for max send size fragments. When the
use of the shared receive queue (SRQ) was specified (via "-mca
btl_openib_use_srq 1"), these QPs would use a shared receive queue for
receive buffers instead of the default per-peer (PP) receive queues
and buffers. One consequence of this design is that receive buffer
utilization (the size of the data received as a percentage of the
receive buffer used for the data) was quite poor for a number of
applications.
The new design allows multiple QPs to be specified at runtime. Each
QP can be setup to use PP or SRQ receive buffers as well as giving
fine-grained control over receive buffer size, number of receive
buffers to post, when to replenish the receive queue (low water mark)
and for SRQ QPs, the number of outstanding sends can also be
specified. The following is an example of the syntax to describe QPs
to the OpenIB BTL using the new MCA parameter btl_openib_receive_queues:
{{{
-mca btl_openib_receive_queues \
"P,128,16,4;S,1024,256,128,32;S,4096,256,128,32;S,65536,256,128,32"
}}}
Each QP description is delimited by ";" (semicolon) with individual
fields of the QP description delimited by "," (comma). The above
example therefore describes 4 QPs.
The first QP is:
P,128,16,4
Meaning: per-peer receive buffer QPs are indicated by a starting field
of "P"; the first QP (shown above) is therefore a per-peer based QP.
The second field indicates the size of the receive buffer in bytes
(128 bytes). The third field indicates the number of receive buffers
to allocate to the QP (16). The fourth field indicates the low
watermark for receive buffers at which time the BTL will repost
receive buffers to the QP (4).
The second QP is:
S,1024,256,128,32
Shared receive queue based QPs are indicated by a starting field of
"S"; the second QP (shown above) is therefore a shared receive queue
based QP. The second, third and fourth fields are the same as in the
per-peer based QP. The fifth field is the number of outstanding sends
that are allowed at a given time on the QP (32). This provides a
"good enough" mechanism of flow control for some regular communication
patterns.
QPs MUST be specified in ascending receive buffer size order. This
requirement may be removed prior to 1.3 release.

branch:
* Support btl_openib_if_include and btl_openib_if_exclude MCA
parameters, similar to those supported by other BTLs. Each take a
comma-delimited lists of identifiers. Identifiers can be HCA
interface names (e.g., ipath0, mthca1, etc.) or an HCA interface
name and port numbers (e.g., ipath0:1, mthca1:2, etc.). It is an
error to specify both _include and _exclude. If you specify a
non-existant (or non-ACTIVE) HCA and/or port, you'll get a warning
unless you disable the warning by setting the MCA parameter
btl_openib_warn_nonexistent_if to 0.
* Start updating to use BEGIN_C_DECLS and END_C_DECLS
* A few other minor fixes that were picked up along the way.

finally brings in functionality that is already on the 1.2 branch, and
was developed and tested in the v1.2ofed branch (and other places).
Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by
querying the HCA port
* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore
fixing the harmless warnings noted in #665
* Bunches of updates to the Linux RPM spec file
I.e., effectively the same thing that r14411 brought to the v1.2
branch.
Also effectively brought in r14432 and r14433 (some fixes on top of
the original r14411 commit to v1.2). Still need to bring in the moral
equivalent of r14445 after this commit (fixes to installdirs).

addition to my design and testing, it was conceptually approved by
Gil, Gleb, Pasha, Brad, and Galen. Functionally [probably somewhat
lightly] tested by Galen. We may still have to shake out some bugs
during the next few months, but it seems to be working for all the
cases that I can throw at it.
Here's a summary of the changes from that branch:
* Move MCA parameter registration to a new file (btl_openib_mca.c):
* Properly check the retun status of registering MCA params
* Check for valid values of MCA parameters
* Make help strings better
* Otherwise, the only default value of an MCA param that was
changed was max_btls; it went from 4 to -1 (meaning: use all
available)
* Properly prototyped internal functions in _component.c
* Made a bunch of functions static that didn't need to be public
* Renamed to remove "mca_" prefix from static functions
* Call new MCA param registration function
* Call new INI file read/lookup/finalize functions
* Updated a bunch of macros to be "BTL_" instead of "ORTE_"
* Be a little more consistent with return values
* Handle -1 for the max_btls MCA param
* Fixed a free() that should have been an OBJ_RELEASE()
* Some re-indenting
* Added INI-file parsing
* New flex file: btl_openib_ini.l
* New default HCA params .ini file (probably to be expanded over
time by other HCA vendors)
* Added more show_help messages for parsing problems
* Read in INI files and cache the values for later lookup
* When component opens an HCA, lookup to see if any corresponding
values were found in the INI files (ID'ed by the HCA vendor_id
and vendor_part_id)
* Added btl_openib_verbose MCA param that shows what the INI-file
stuff does (e.g., shows which MTU your HCA ends up using)
* Added btl_openib_hca_param_files as a colon-delimited list of INI
files to check for values during startup (in order,
left-to-right, just like the MCA base directory param).
* MTU is currently the only value supported in this framework.
* It is not a fatal error if we don't find params for the HCA in
the INI file(s). Instead, just print a warning. New MCA param
btl_openib_warn_no_hca_params_found can be used to disable
printing the warning.
* Add MTU to peer negotiation when making a connection
* Exchange maximum MTU; select the lesser of the two
