call the opal_common_verbs_mca_register function to make sure that
opal_common_verbs_want_fork_support mca parameter is created and therefore
can be used to control the fork support.
In order to have an effect, ibv_fork_init should be called in the
beginning of the verbs initialization flow - before the calls to the
ibv_create_qp and ibv_create_cq verbs.
These functions are called from the oob/ud code and by the time the
other verbs components (btl openib, pml yalla, ...) call ibv_fork_init,
it's too late. This commit forces the call to ibv_fork_init (if it's
requested) right at the beginning of all the components that are using
verbs.
(ibv_fork_init() can be safely called multiple times)
This commit also removes the btl_openib_want_fork_support mca parameter
and adds a new mca parameter instead - opal_verbs_want_fork_support.
Through this new parameter, fork support may be requested for ALL
components.
The default value for this parameter is set to 1.
Before this commit the btl_openib_want_fork_support parameter didn't
provide fork support for the openib btl if its value was set to 1.
(because when openib called ibv_fork_init, it was already after the
calls to ibv_create_* in oob/ud and thereofre it failed).
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 ())

This commit adds an owner file in each of the component directories
for each framework. This allows for a simple script to parse
the contents of the files and generate, among other things, tables
to be used on the project's wiki page. Currently there are two
"fields" in the file, an owner and a status. A tool to parse
the files and generate tables for the wiki page will be added
in a subsequent commit.
Some BTLs do not require local registration for some rdma
transactions. For example: inline put on openib, fma put on ugni. This
commit adds code to expose the local registration thresholds to BTL
users. Optimized code can take advantage of this information to
improve rdma performance.
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.
For systems with OFED's lacking XRC support, commit b3617e73
broke the build of the openib btl. This commit addresses
the issues introduced by this commit.
- 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.
