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).
Please verify your components have been updated correctly. Keep in
mind that in terms of threading:
OPAL_FREE_LIST_GET -> opal_free_list_get_st
OPAL_FREE_LIST_RETURN -> opal_free_list_return_st
I used the opal_using_threads() variant anytime it appeared multiple
threads could be operating on the free list. If this is not the case
update to _st. If multiple threads are always in use change to _mt.
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.
So we need all the routing code for dealing with cross-job communications, lifelines, etc. The HNP will be directly connected to all daemons as they must callback at startup, and so we need to track those children correctly so we know when it is okay to terminate.
We still have to support direct launch, though, as this is the only component we can use in that scenario. So if the app doesn't have daemon URI info, then it must fall back to directly connecting to everything.
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.
Mimick the btl/tcp protocol to solve the race condition that happens

"NULL" doesn't meany anything to the user, and is somewhat confusing
to see in an error message. "<unknown>" at least indicates that
there's an error, and we know who the peer is.

Replace our old, clunky timing setup with a much nicer one that is only available if configured with --enable-timing. Add a tool for profiling clock differences between the nodes so you can get more precise timing measurements. I'll ask Artem to update the Github wiki with full instructions on how to use this setup.

WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

providing a netmask of 0 to opal_net_samenetwork results in everything
looking like it is on the same network. Hence, we were not retaining any
of the alternative addresses, so we had no other way to check them.

This should eliminate the connectivity issues that have been reported, and will make maintenance of this component much easier.

grpcomm: fix memory leaks
We were leaking the caddy object used to pass data to the callback
function. This commit fixes these leaks.
oob,rml: fix memory leaks
This commit fixes several leaks:
- Both the oob/base and oob/tcp were leaking objects on their peer
hash tables. Iterate on the hash tables and free any objects.
- Leaked sent messages because of missing OBJ_RELEASE. I placed the
release in ORTE_RML_SEND_COMPLETE to catch all the possible
paths.

top_ompi_srcdir -> OMPI_TOP_SRCDIR
top_ompi_builddir -> OMPI_TOP_BUILDDIR
We also split the srcdir/builddir flags according to their local tree (e.g., OPAL_TOP_SRCDIR), and tied them all together in configure.ac. Renamed ompi_ignore and ompi_unignore to be opal_<foo> as these are agnostic markers.
Only thing left is ompilibdir being treated similar to what we dif for srcdir/builddir. Coming soon.
