This commit removes the service and async event threads from the
openib btl. Both threads are replaced by opal progress thread
support. The run_in_main function is now supported by allocating an
event and adding it to the sync event base. This ensures that the
requested function is called as part of opal_progress.

This commit adds a access_flags argument to the mpool registration
function. This flag indicates what kind of access is being requested:
local write, remote read, remote write, and remote atomic. The values
of the registration access flags in the btl are tied to the new flags
in the mpool. All mpools have been updated to include the new argument
but only the grdma and udreg mpools have been updated to make use of
the access flags. In both mpools existing registrations are checked
for sufficient access before being returned. If a registration does
not contain sufficient access it is marked as invalid and a new
registration is generated.

CID 1269931 Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)
Initialize complete async message. This was not a bug but the fix
contributes to valgrind cleanness (uninitialed write).
CID 1269915 Unintended sign extension (SIGN_EXTENSION)
Should never happen. Quieting this by explicitly casting to uint64_t.
CID 1269824 Dereference null return value (NULL_RETURNS)
It is impossible for opal_list_remove_first to return NULL if
opal_list_is_empty returns false. I refactored the code in question to
not use opal_list_is_empty but loop until NULL is returned by
opal_list_remove_first. That will quiet the issue.
CID 1269913 Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
The storage parameter should never be NULL. The check intended to
check if *storage was NULL not storage.

Enabling the FT code breaks compilation (again). This series
tries to fix the compiler errors. This is again only fixing
the compiler errors without any warranty that the result
might actually support FT again.
This first patch moves orte_cr_continue_like_restart from ORTE
to opal_cr_continue_like_restart in OPAL. This only leaves three
calls from OPAL to ORTE in the FT code. As it is not yet 100%
clear how to handle these calls the code orte_sstore.set_attr()
has been #ifdef'd out for now.
The derived segment type (btl_openib_segment_t) was intended to store
the registration info needed for put and get. In BTL 3.0 this is no
longer required. I intended to remove this type as part of
open-mpi/ompi@74f1af4548 .

Use of the old ompi_free_list_t and ompi_free_list_item_t is
deprecated. These classes will be removed in a future commit.
This commit updates the entire code base to use opal_free_list_t and
opal_free_list_item_t.
Notes:
OMPI_FREE_LIST_*_MT -> opal_free_list_* (uses opal_using_threads ())

The send inline optimization uses the btl_sendi function to achieve lower
latency and higher message rates. Before this commit BTLs were allowed to
assume the descriptor was non-NULL and were expected to return a valid
descriptor if the send could not be completed using btl_sendi. This
behavior was fine until the usage of btl_sendi was changed in ob1. This
commit allows the caller to specify NULL for the descriptor. The affected
btls have been updated to handle this case.

in this code and it ended up changing the logic that is used to set up eager RDMA.
Rather than setting up eager RDMA with a high priority message, it did it the other
way around. For some reason, CUDA-aware support did not like this. So, basically,
restore the logic to the way it was prior to the refactoring. The refactoring did not
intend to change this. Lightly reviewed by hjelmn.
There was a bug in the openib btl handling this valid sequence of
calls:
desc = btl_alloc ();
btl_free (desc);
When triggered the bug would cause either fragment loss or undefined
behavior (SEGV, etc). The problem occured because btl_alloc contained
the logic to modify the pending fragment (length, etc) and these
changes were not corrected if the fragment was freed instead of sent.
To fix this issue I 1) moved some of the coalescing logic to the
btl_send function, and 2) retry the coalesced fragment on btl_free
if it was never sent. This appears to completely address the issue.
- by default allow to register maximum possible (i.e 2 * total_memory)
memory. This beheviour can be turned off using mca parameter
"btl_openib_allow_max_memory_registration"
- In fallback case, use device specific parameters to calulate
memory limit.
structure
This structure member was originally used to specify the remote segment
for an RDMA operation. Since the new btl interface no longer uses
desriptors for RDMA this member no longer has a purpose. In addition
to removing these members the local segment information has been
renamed to des_segments/des_segment_count.
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
Properly setup the opal_process_info structure early in the initialization procedure. Define the local hostname right at the beginning of opal_init so all parts of opal can use it. Overlay that during orte_init as the user may choose to remove fqdn and strip prefixes during that time. Setup the job_session_dir and other such info immediately when it becomes available during orte_init.
The question of whether or not the openib BTL supports loopback is a separate question. It may be more appropriate to make the modex be PMIX_GLOBAL for cases where openib can support loopback so someone can run without a shared memory component. I'll leave that decision to the IB vendors.

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.
