Background: In order to support atomics each btl needs to provide support
for communicating with self unless the btl module can guarantee global
atomicity. Before this commit bml/r2 discarded any BTL with lower
exclusivity than an existing send btl. This would cause the BML to
discard any btl other than self.
The new behavior is as follows:
- If an exisiting send btl has higher exclusivity then the btl will not be
added to the send btl list for the endpoint.
- If a btl provides RDMA support then it is always added to the rdma btl
list.
- bml_btl weight for send btls is now calculated across all send btls.
- bml_btl weight for rdma btls is now calculated across all rdma btls.
With this change self should still win as the only send btl for loopback
without disqualifying other btls (ugni, openib) for atomic operations.
attempting to break the get into multiple rdma fragments
A little background. Historically ob1 always registered the entire memory
region when the RGET protocol was in use. This changed when Mellanox
added support to fragment RGET using the btl_prepare_dst function. Now
that the BTL layer has changed to split out the limits of get/put there
is explicit fragmentation code in ob1. Before this commit the registration
was still done per RGET fragment.
This commit will attempt to register the entire region before creating
RGET fragments. If the registration is successfull then all RGET
fragments will use this registration otherwise they will each attempt
to register their own segment of the receive buffer. If that fails
enough times each fragment will give up and fall back on send/recv.
PSM has issues when trying calling psm_ep_connect() more than once for a
specific peer. Use the psm_ep_connect mask argument to avoid connecting
to processes that are already connected.
OMPI ticket #268.
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.
When running many ranks on a single node using PSM, it's possible to
exhaust the network hardware contexts (there are 16). This patch checks
if only a single node is being used. If so, the 'ipath' component of PSM
is disabled and no hardware contexts are opened.
The ompi_osc_signal_outgoing was moved from ompi_osc_rdma_frag_start to frag_send
which gave correct results for the bug reproducer but hangs with simple OSC
tests. Moved the ompi_osc_signal_outgoing back and it now passes all tests.
Closes#256
opal_mutex_t must be OBJ_DESTRUCTed in order to avoid
a memory leak (pthread_mutex_init allocates memory under
Cygwin, so pthread_mutex_destroy is mandatory)
Thanks to Marco Atzeri for reporting this issue
Some of the counters used by the "rdma" one-sided component are intended
to overflow. Since overflow behavior is undefined for signed integers in
C it is safer to use unsigned integers here.
These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
