structure
This structure member was originally used to specify the remote segment
for an RDMA operation. Since the new btl interface no longer uses
desriptors for RDMA this member no longer has a purpose. In addition
to removing these members the local segment information has been
renamed to des_segments/des_segment_count.
The old BTL interface provided support for RDMA through the use of
the btl_prepare_src and btl_prepare_dst functions. These functions were
expected to prepare as much of the user buffer as possible for the RDMA
operation and return a descriptor. The descriptor contained segment
information on the prepared region. The btl user could then pass the
RDMA segment information to a remote peer. Once the peer received that
information it then packed it into a similar descriptor on the other
side that could then be passed into a single btl_put or btl_get
operation.
Changes:
- Removed the btl_prepare_dst function. This reflects the fact that
RDMA operations no longer depend on "prepared" descriptors.
- Removed the btl_seg_size member. There is no need to btl's to
subclass the mca_btl_base_segment_t class anymore.

It is valid to modify the remote segment that will be used with the
btl put/get operations as long as the resulting address range falls in
the originally prepared segment. Vader should have been calculating the
offset of the remote address in the registered region. This commit
fixes this issue.
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
There were mistakes in the Makefiles for the ugni btl and
mca/common/ugni that prevented the ugni btl from being
used unless one happened to set the --disable-dlopen option
on the config line.
This commit fixes this problem.
This enables IBM's software iWARP provider. With this driver you can
run iWARP/RDMA over any ethernet NIC. Useful for testing OMPI RDMA
logic without requiring an expensive RDMA adapter/infrastructure.
The Soft iWARP code is at: https://www.gitorious.org/softiwarp
At some point we added a sanity check to the btl base to ensure that
the btl flags match the available functions (this prevents user's from
specifying get or put when no function exists). This check was
disabling get for the sm btl since at the time of the check there is
no btl_get function. The simplest fix is to set a dummy value to btl_get
that will be overwritten with the proper value on btl initialization.
Closes#239.
If there are no usnic BTL modules, then just avoid sending any modex
message at all (other BTLs do this; it's safe to do).
The change is smaller than it looks: I added a "if 0 ==..." check at
the top to return immediately if there are no BTL modules. Then I
removed some now-unnecessary conditionals and un-indented as
appropriate.
Fixes#248
These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
This commit makes the folowing changes:
- Add support for the knem single-copy mechanism. Initially vader will only
support the synchronous copy mode. Asynchronous copy support may be added
int the future.
- Improve Linux cross memory attach (CMA) when using restrictive ptrace
settings. This will allow Open MPI to use CMA without modifying the system
settings to support ptrace attach (see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf).
- Allow runtime selection of the single copy mechanism. The default behavior
is to use the best available. The priority list of single-copy mehanisms is
as follows: xpmem, cma, and knem.
- Allow disabling support for kernel-assisted single copy.
- Some tuning and bug fixes.
Restore the functionality to error out (and show a helpful message) if
knem support is requested by is either not compiled in or cannot be
activated.
Thanks to Gus Correa for bringing the matter to our attention.
Somehow, this MCA param was accidentally dropped after v1.6.5. Thanks
to Gus Correa for bringing this matter to our attention.
Also moving some MCA params down from level 9 to levels 4/5.

Before this change eager gets we retried on each progress loop. This commit
modifies the protocol to only retry eager gets when another eager get has
completed. This commit also cleans up some callback code that is no longer
needed.
The GNI_RDMAMODE_FENCE bit was a left over from
async progress work that is not needed at this point
in the gni BTL. Removing the bit also allows
for the removal of the GNI_CDM_MODE_BTE_SINGLE_CHANNEL
bit from the GNI_CdmCreate call.
This commit adds initial ugni thread safety support.
With this commit, sun thread tests (excepting MPI-2 RMA)
pass with various process counts and threads/process.
Also osu_latency_mt passes.
Properly setup the opal_process_info structure early in the initialization procedure. Define the local hostname right at the beginning of opal_init so all parts of opal can use it. Overlay that during orte_init as the user may choose to remove fqdn and strip prefixes during that time. Setup the job_session_dir and other such info immediately when it becomes available during orte_init.
