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.
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 was SVN r20064.
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.
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.
This commit was SVN r19991.
The problem was that we close the same fd twice, and that meantime the fd could have been reassigned
to some other file or socket.
This commit was SVN r19869.
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)
Initial tests indicating that fully routing comm via defined routing trees may not actually have a significant cost for operations like IB QP setup. More tests required to confirm.
This will require an autogen...
This commit was SVN r19866.
Without this patch, doing spawn in a loop ended up by exhausting all
available file descriptors pretty quickly. There were about 5 file
descriptors opened per spawned process. Now the number of file
descriptors managed by the process (orted or HNP)
is a lot smaller.
This commit was SVN r19864.
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.
This commit was SVN r19767.
Refers to ticket #1548. Although this appears to fix the problem, the ticket will be held open pending further test prior to transition to the 1.3 branch.

Ticket 1435 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1435
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.

Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
Cleanup the logic in the odls for when processes terminate. It turns out that we were only going through the kill_proc logic once instead of looping over all local children when we ordered a daemon to kill its local procs. This went unnoticed for some time as for most systems the local procs were terminated anyway when the daemon terminated due to the parent/child relationship.
Solaris is apparently different - the children are not automatically terminated when the parent dies. As a result, it acts as a detector for this bug.
Mucho thanks to Rolf V. for his help in debugging - and to IM for letting me follow his gdb progress in quasi real-time!
This commit was SVN r19044.
Modify the odls to remove a (size_t) typecast in front of the num_processors variable just in case it is returned negative. This usually is accompanied by an opal_error, so this shouldn't make any difference - but it is more technically correct.
This commit was SVN r19008.
Fixed allocation of all ranks when using RANKFILE, but not all ranks assigned
Aborting if using RANKFILE, but np wasn't specified a little earlier
Clean mca_rmaps_rank_file_component.debug
This commit was SVN r19004.
Short version: remove opal_paffinity_alone and restore
mpi_paffinity_alone. ORTE makes various information available for the
MPI layer to decide what it wants to do in terms of processor
affinity.
Details:
* remove opal_paffinity_alone MCA param; restore mpi_paffinity_alone
MCA param
* move opal_paffinity_slot_list param registration to paffinity base
* ompi_mpi_init() calls opal_paffinity_base_slot_list_set(); if that
succeeds use that. If no slot list was set, see if
mpi_paffinity_alone was set. If so, bind this process to its Node
Local Rank (NLR). The NLR is the ORTE-maintained slot ID; if you
COMM_SPAWN to a host in this ORTE universe that already has procs
on it, the NLR for the new job will start at N (not 0). So this is
slightly better than mpi_paffinity_alone in the v1.2 series.
* If a slot list is specified *and* mpi_paffinity_alone is set, we
display an error and abort.
* Remove calls from rmaps/rank_file component to register and lookup
opal_paffinity mca params.
* Remove code in orte/odls that set affinities - instead, have them
just pass a slot_list if it exists.
* Cleanup the orte/odls code that determined
oversubscribed/want_processor as these were just opposites of each
other.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1383 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1383
1. repair of the linear and direct routed modules
2. repair of the ompi/pubsub/orte module to correctly init routes to the ompi-server, and correctly handle failure to correctly parse the provided ompi-server URI
3. modification of orterun to accept both "file" and "FILE" for designating where the ompi-server URI is to be found - purely a convenience feature
4. resolution of a message ordering problem during the connect/accept handshake that allowed the "send-first" proc to attempt to send to the "recv-first" proc before the HNP had actually updated its routes.
Let this be a further reminder to all - message ordering is NOT guaranteed in the OOB
5. Repair the ompi/dpm/orte module to correctly init routes during connect/accept.
Reminder to all: messages sent to procs in another job family (i.e., started by a different mpirun) are ALWAYS routed through the respective HNPs. As per the comments in orte/routed, this is REQUIRED to maintain connect/accept (where only the root proc on each side is capable of init'ing the routes), allow communication between mpirun's using different routing modules, and to minimize connections on tools such as ompi-server. It is all taken care of "under the covers" by the OOB to ensure that a route back to the sender is maintained, even when the different mpirun's are using different routed modules.
6. corrections in the orte/odls to ensure proper identification of daemons participating in a dynamic launch
7. corrections in build/nidmap to support update of an existing nidmap during dynamic launch
8. corrected implementation of the update_arch function in the ESS, along with consolidation of a number of ESS operations into base functions for easier maintenance. The ability to support info from multiple jobs was added, although we don't currently do so - this will come later to support further fault recovery strategies
9. minor updates to several functions to remove unnecessary and/or no longer used variables and envar's, add some debugging output, etc.
10. addition of a new macro ORTE_PROC_IS_DAEMON that resolves to true if the provided proc is a daemon
There is still more cleanup to be done for efficiency, but this at least works.
Tested on single-node Mac, multi-node SLURM via odin. Tests included connect/accept, publish/lookup/unpublish, comm_spawn, comm_spawn_multiple, and singleton comm_spawn.
Fixes ticket #1256
This commit was SVN r18804.
Some minor changes to help facilitate debugger support so that both mpirun and yod can operate with it. Still to be completed.
This commit was SVN r18664.
After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.
This commit was SVN r18619.
such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.
