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.

If we need to use a convertor, go back to stashing that convertor in the
frag and populating segments "on the fly" (in
ompi_btl_usnic_module_progress_sends). Previously we would pack into a
chain of chunk segments at prepare_src time, unnecessarily consuming
additional memory.

This commit moves all the module stats into their own struct so that
the stats only need to appear as a single line in the module_t
definition, and then moves all the logic for reporting the stats into
btl_usnic_stats.c|h.
Further, the stats are now exported as MPI_T_BIND_NO_OBJECT entities
(i.e., not bound to any particular MPI handle), and are marked as
READONLY and CONTINUOUS. They currently all default to verbose level
5 ("Application tuner / detailed", according to
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/MCAParamLevels).
Most of the statistics are counters, but a small number are high
watermark values. Due to how counters are reported via MPI_T, none of
the counters are exported through MPI_T if the MCA param
btl_usnic_stats_relative=1 (i.e., the module resets the stats back to
zero at a given frequency).
When MPI_T_pvar_handle_alloc() is invoked on any of these pvars, it
will return a count that is equal to the number of active usnic BTL
modules. The values returned for any given pvar (e.g.,
num_total_sends) are an array containing one value for each active
usnic BTL module. The ordering of values in the array is both
consistent across all usnic pvars and stable throughout a single job:
array slot 0 corresponds to module X, array slot 1 corresponds to
module Y, etc.
Mapping which array slot corresponds to which underlying Linux usnic_X
device works as follows:
* The btl_usnic_devices MPI_T state pvar is associated with a
btl_usnic_device MPI_T enum, and be obtained via
MPI_T_pvar_get_info().
* If all usNIC pvars are of length N, the values [0,N) in the
btl_usnic_device enum are associated with strings of the
corresponding underlying Linux device.
For exampe, to look up which Linux device is reported in all usNIC
pvars' array slot 1, look up the int value 1 in the btl_usnic_devices
enum. Its corresponding string value is underlying Linux device name
(e.g., "usnic_1").

changes required to support MPI_Bsend(). Introduces concept of
attaching a buffer to a large segment that the PML can scribble into and
we will send from. The reason we don't use a pinned buffer and send
directly from that is that usnic_verbs does not (yes) support num_sge>1
for regular sends. This means the data gets copied twice, but that is
unavoidable.

- tag needs to be sent in *our* header, not the PML header
- usnic_alloc() should return smaller value if too much data requested
- be careful about callbacks vs removing items from lists
(we need to remove from outr lists *before* the callback)
- improve send callback handling
- add some more MSGDEBUG2 logging and cleanup

This BTL accesses the Cisco usNIC Linux device via the Linux verbs
API via Unreliable Datagram queue pairs. A few noteworthy points:
* This BTL does most of its own fragmentation; it tells the PML that
it has a very high max_send_size (much higher than the network
MTU).
* Since UD fragments are, by definition, unreliable, the usnic BTL
handles all of its own reliability via a sliding window approach
using the opal_hotel construct and many tricks stolen from the
corpus of knowledge surrounding efficient TCP.
* There is a fun PML latency-metric based optimization for NUMA
awareness of short messages.
* Note that this is ''not'' a generic UD verbs BTL; it is specific to
the Cisco usNIC device.
