mca_btl_base_segment_t and replace them with des_local and des_remote
This change also updates the BTL version to 3.0.0. This commit does
not represent the final version of BTL 3.0.0. More changes are coming.
In making this change I updated all of the BTLs as well as BTL user's
to use the new structure members. Please evaluate your component to
ensure the changes are correct.
RFC text:
This is the first of several BTL interface changes I am proposing for
the 1.9/2.0 release series.
What: Change naming of btl descriptor members. I propose we change
des_src and des_dst (and their associated counts) to be des_local and
des_remote. For receive callbacks the des_local member will be used to
communicate the segment information to the callback. The proposed change
will include updating all of the doxygen in btl.h as well as updating
all BTLs and BTL users to use the new naming scheme.
Why: My btl usage makes use of both put and get operations on the same
descriptor. With the current naming scheme I need to ensure that there
is consistency beteen the segments described in des_src and des_dst
depending on whether a put or get operation is executed. Additionally,
the current naming prevents BTLs that do not require prepare/RMA matched
operations (do not set MCA_BTL_FLAGS_RDMA_MATCHED) from executing
multiple simultaneous put AND get operations. At the moment the
descriptor can only be used with one or the other. The naming change
makes it easier for BTL users to setup/modify descriptors for RMA
operations as the local segment and remote segment are always in the
same member field. The only issue I forsee with this change is that it
will require a little more work to move BTL fixes to the 1.8 release
series.

This commit should fix a hang seen when running some of the one-sided
tests. The downside of this fix is it reduces the maximum size of the
messages that use the fast boxes. I will fix this in a later commit.
To improve performance under a heavy load I introduced sequencing to
ensure messages are given to the pml in order. I have seen little-no
impact on the message rate or latency with this change and there is a
clear improvement to the heavy message rate case.
Lets let this sit in the trunk for a couple of days to ensure that
everything is working correctly.

This commit adds support for placing the send memory segment in a
traditional shared memory segment when XPMEM is not available. The
current default is to reserve 4MB for shared memory on each process.
The latest benchmarks show vader performing better than sm on both
Intel and AMD CPUs.
For large messages vader will now use CMA if it is available (and
XPMEM is not).

This commit improved the small message latency and bandwidth when using
the vader btl. These improvements should make performance competative
with other MPI implementations.

value to signal that the operation of retrieving the element from the free list
failed. However in this case the returned pointer was set to NULL as well, so the
error code was redundant. Moreover, this was a continuous source of warnings when
the picky mode is on.
The attached parch remove the rc argument from the OMPI_FREE_LIST_GET and
OMPI_FREE_LIST_WAIT macros, and change to check if the item is NULL instead of
using the return code.
