mtl_ofi_provider_include (resp. mtl_ofi_provider_exclude) can be used
to specify which provider(s) the OFI MTL can select (resp. ignore).
e.g. --mca mtl_ofi_provider_include "psm,sockets"
By default, mtl_ofi_provider_exclude is set to "sockets,mxm".
This deprecates the old MCA var named "mtl_ofi_provider".
Some OFI providers such as "sockets" are used for debugging
purposes mostly. For these providers, other components usually
offer better performance -- e.g. for sockets, the BTL/TCP would
be a better choice.
Thus, we chose to ignore some providers unless explicitly asked
by the user on the command line:
e.g. --mca mtl_ofi_provider sockets
Retain inline progress function for ofi
mtl, but have a non-inlined progress function
which is registered with the opal progress
mechanism.

I've bad news about the psm provider. I still notice
segfaults - not always - but frequently at finalize
when using the psm provider. I don't notice this
when using the sockets provider.

This new MTL runs over PSM2 for Omni Path. PSM2 is a descendant of PSM
with changes to support more ranks and some MPI-3 features like mprobe.
PSM2 will only support Omni Path networks; PSM only supports True Scale.
Likewise, the existing PSM MTL will continue to be maintained for True
Scale, while the PSM2 MTL is developed and maintained for Omni Path.
The Portals4 MTL allocates two Portals IDs requesting specific
well-known IDs and assumes that those IDs are allocated. If those IDs
are in use, PtlPTAlloc() will allocate a different ID. This commit
verifies that the requested IDs were allocated.
When activating short receive blocks on the overflow list, remove
the PTL_ME_EVENT_LINK_DISABLE flag so the event gets generated.
Without PTL_EVENT_LINK, the block status can't reach the activated
state.
Replace #ifdef with #if for Open MPI configure booleans, because
Open MPI configure booleans are always defined and the value must
be checked.
In days past, some implementations of Portals4 could not cover all
of memory with a single Memory Descriptor so multiple large
overlapping Memory Descriptors were created. Because none of the
current implementations have this limitation (and no future
implementations should either), this commit removes the overlapping
Memory Descriptors code.
If OMPI is initialized as thread multiple, then it is possible for
Portals events to be processed out of order by different threads.
Out of order events could lead to reactivation of the block
(PTL_EVENT_AUTO_FREE) before the block is removed from the active
list (PTL_EVENT_AUTO_UNLINK). This commit adds a status field to
ompi_mtl_portals4_recv_short_block_t that coordinates these events.
The length parameter of ompi_mtl_portals4_long_isend() was declared
as "int", which may not be big enough depending on the platform and
compiler options used. This commit changes the type to size_t to
prevent overflow.
The source field was 16 bits which is not sufficient for many
current and future machines. This commit expands the source field
to 24 bits and reduces the tag field from 32 bits to 24 bits.
PtlMDRelease() was called if read_msg() returned a failure code.
This commit moves the PtlMDRelease() inside read_msg() so that it
doesn't get called in cases where the failure happens before or at
the PtlMDBind().
This commit adds an MCA variable to select Portals4 logical
addressing, populates the logical-to-physical mapping table and
initializes the NI in this mode.
This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.
All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component
versioning macro. An mca.h has been added to each project to add a
project specific versioning macro of the form
PROJECT_MCA_VERSION_2_1_0.
