This component is a workaround to a bug in libibverbs that prints a
dire warning that usNIC devices are not supported (of course not --
usNIC devices provide functionality through libfabric, not
libibverbs). This component was written before a better workaround
was created: a "no op" libibverbs plugin for usNIC devices
(https://github.com/cisco/libusnic_verbs, and is also available in
binary form on cisco.com).
Hence, this component no longer builds by default. It's still
available if a user specifically asks for it (e.g., if they do not
want to install the "no op" libibverbs plugin), but it's not the
default. This component also has the side-effect of making
libopen-pal.so depend on libibverbs.so, which can be annoying for
packagers (which is another reason it isn't built by default any
more).
The send code in the ugni btl has an optimization that enables it to
return 1 (fragment gone) in some cases. This optimization involved
removing the btl ownership and callback flags to ensure the fragment
stuck around long enough for its completion flag to be checked. This
works fine for the single-threaded case but not in the multi-threaded
case. It is possible that a fragment will be completed by another
thread while a thread is in mca_btl_ugni_send. This competition can
lead to a leaked fragment, missed callback, or both. To fix the issue
without removing the optimization a reference count has been added to
the fragment. Callbacks and fragment release will not be made until
the fragment reference count has reach 0. The count is incremented
before sending the frag and decremented after the completion flag has
been checked. The fix has been verified to work using a multi-threaded
RMA benchmark with the osc/pt2pt component.

This commit fixes a race condition that can cause an endpoint to be
added to the wait list multiple times. To fix the issue an additional
check has been added to ensure the endpoint is not on the wait list
after the wait list lock is held. The wait list processing code has
also been updated to keep the wait list lock until all wait listed
endpoints have been handled. This reduces the chance that an endpoint
that is being processed by the wait list code is not re-added to the
list by a competing send.

Three minor updates from the code review of
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/pull/933:
* Remove an extra blank line a show_help message
* We no longer allow -1 for the MCA param btl_usnic_av_eq_num, so
change the flag to REGINT_GE_ONE
* Change "num_blocks" definition to be in terms of block_len (not
eq_size)
A bunch of empirical testing has shown that increasing the retranmit
timeout from 1ms to 5ms doesn't adversely affect performance, yet
decreases the number of gratuitious retransmissions.
Add endpoints in a blocked manner so that we don't overrun the
fi_av_insert() event queue. Also make the AV EQ length an MCA param,
and report it in mca_btl_base_verbose >=5 output.
Sequence numbers will wrap around; it is not sufficient to check for
(seq-1) -- must use the SEQ_DIFF macro to properly handle the
wraparound.
This bug wasn't serious; it just meant we might retransmit one or two
extra times when retransmits were triggerd and the sequence numbers
wrapped around their sliding windows.
when SMT is enabled, a core must be counted as long as one of its hwthread is allowed
Thanks Ben Menadue for the report.
This fixes a regression from open-mpi/ompi@6d149554a7
This commit adds code to handle large unaligned gets. There are two
possible code paths for these transactions:
1) The remote region and local region have the same alignment. In
this case the get will be broken down into at most three get
transactions: 1 transaction to get the unaligned start of the region
(buffered), 1 transaction to get the aligned portion of the region,
and 1 transaction to get the end of the region.
2) The remote and local regions do not have the same alignment. This
should be an uncommon case and is not optimized. In this case a
buffer is allocated and registered locally to hold the aligned data
from the remote region. There may be cases where this fails (low
memory, can't register memory). Those conditions are unlikely and
will be handled later.

If the state of the request is not set to OMPI_REQUEST_ACTIVE
then MPI_Test would immediately signal such request completed

If atomics are not globally visible (cpu and nic atomics do not mix)
then a btl endpoint must be used to access local ranks. To avoid
issues that are caused by having the same region registered with
multiple handles osc/rdma was updated to always use the handle for
rank 0. There was a bug in the update that caused osc/rdma to continue
using the local endpoint for accessing the state even though the
pointer/handle are not valid for that endpoint. This commit fixes the
bug.

This commit makes ompi_datatype_get_pack_description thread safe. The
call is used by osc/pt2pt to send the packed description to remote
peers. Before this commit if MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE is enabled and the
user uses MPI_Put, MPI_Get, etc we could hit a race where multiple
threads attempt to store the packed description on the datatype. Since
the code in question is not performance-critical the threading fix
uses opal_atomic_* calls instead of bothering with OPAL_THREAD_*.

Optimizing put aggregation in the presence of threads will require a
redesign of the code. For now just ensure that put aggregation is
turned off when MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE is enabled.
