1. add a "cancel_operation" API to the pls components that allows orterun to demand that an orted operation (e.g., terminate_job) be immediately cancelled and abandoned.
2. changes the pls orted commands from blocking to non-blocking. This allows us to interrupt those operations should an orted be non-responsive. The change also adds an orte_abort_timeout that limits how long orterun will automatically wait for the orteds to respond - if the terminate command, for example, doesn't see orted response within that time, then we printout an appropriate error message and just give up.
3. modifies orterun to allow multiple ctrl-c's to simply abort the program even if the orteds have not responded
4. does some cleanup on the orte-level mca params so that their implementation looks a lot more like that of ompi - makes it easier to maintain. This change also includes the definition of an orte_abort_timeout struct and associated MCA param (can't have too many!) so you can set the time after which orterun gives up on waiting for orteds to respond
This needs more testing before migrating to 1.2.
This commit was SVN r13304.
Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).
