This would be a really, really weird case if it ever happens (i.e.,
you have usnics but the agent process failed somewhere in MPI_INIT
such that the agent never appears), but having an infinite loop
doesn't seem like a good idea.
(does not need to go to v1.8 because v1.8 still uses RML for
communication for the connectivity checker)
This commit was SVN r31932.
In preparation for moving the BTLs down to OPAL, discontinue the use
of the RML for connectivity client/agent communication. Instead, use
local unix domain sockets in the job session directory (all
communication is between processes on the same server, so unix domain
sockets are fine).
This commit was SVN r31710.
Use the new opal dstore API (vs. the old RTE DB API).
(dstore is not going to the v1.8 series, so there's no need to CMR
this to v1.8)
This commit was SVN r31580.
* clang warning stomp
* memory barrier for volatile variable use
These can go to 1.7.5 or can slip to v1.8 -- RM decision.

This commit was SVN r30944.
Basically: since usnic is a connectionless transport, we do not get
OS-provided services "for free" that connection-oriented transports
get, namely: "hey, I wasn't able to make a connection to peer X", and
"hey, your connection to peer X has died."
This connectivity-checker runs in a separate progress thread in the
usnic BTL in local rank 0 on each server. Upon first send in any
process, the connectivty-checker agent will send some UDP pings to the
peer to ensure that we can reach it. If we can't, we'll abort the job
with a nice show_help message.
There's a lengthy comment in btl_usnic_connectivity.h explains the
scheme and how it works.
