188880be3f Since static ports are only used by ORTE if the runtime option is given,
there is no need for a configure option as well - so remove the
--enable-orte-static-ports configure option. When decoding the daemon
nidmap, mark new daemons as ALIVE by default - we will discover dead
ones as we go.

a200e4f865 As per the RFC, bring in the ORTE async progress code and the rewrite of OOB:
*** THIS RFC INCLUDES A MINOR CHANGE TO THE MPI-RTE INTERFACE ***

Note: during the course of this work, it was necessary to completely separate the MPI and RTE progress engines. There were multiple places in the MPI layer where ORTE_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION was being used. A new OMPI_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION macro was created (defined in ompi/mca/rte/rte.h) that simply cycles across opal_progress until the provided flag becomes false. Places where the MPI layer blocked waiting for RTE to complete an event have been modified to use this macro.

***************************************************************************************

I am reissuing this RFC because of the time that has passed since its original release. Since its initial release and review, I have debugged it further to ensure it fully supports tests like loop_spawn. It therefore seems ready for merge back to the trunk. Given its prior review, I have set the timeout for one week.

The code is in  https://bitbucket.org/rhc/ompi-oob2


WHAT:    Rewrite of ORTE OOB

WHY:       Support asynchronous progress and a host of other features

WHEN:    Wed, August 21

SYNOPSIS:
The current OOB has served us well, but a number of limitations have been identified over the years. Specifically:

* it is only progressed when called via opal_progress, which can lead to hangs or recursive calls into libevent (which is not supported by that code)

* we've had issues when multiple NICs are available as the code doesn't "shift" messages between transports - thus, all nodes had to be available via the same TCP interface.

* the OOB "unloads" incoming opal_buffer_t objects during the transmission, thus preventing use of OBJ_RETAIN in the code when repeatedly sending the same message to multiple recipients

* there is no failover mechanism across NICs - if the selected NIC (or its attached switch) fails, we are forced to abort

* only one transport (i.e., component) can be "active"


The revised OOB resolves these problems:

* async progress is used for all application processes, with the progress thread blocking in the event library

* each available TCP NIC is supported by its own TCP module. The ability to asynchronously progress each module independently is provided, but not enabled by default (a runtime MCA parameter turns it "on")

* multi-address TCP NICs (e.g., a NIC with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or with virtual interfaces) are supported - reachability is determined by comparing the contact info for a peer against all addresses within the range covered by the address/mask pairs for the NIC.

* a message that arrives on one TCP NIC is automatically shifted to whatever NIC that is connected to the next "hop" if that peer cannot be reached by the incoming NIC. If no TCP module will reach the peer, then the OOB attempts to send the message via all other available components - if none can reach the peer, then an "error" is reported back to the RML, which then calls the errmgr for instructions.

* opal_buffer_t now conforms to standard object rules re OBJ_RETAIN as we no longer "unload" the incoming object

* NIC failure is reported to the TCP component, which then tries to resend the message across any other available TCP NIC. If that doesn't work, then the message is given back to the OOB base to try using other components. If all that fails, then the error is reported to the RML, which reports to the errmgr for instructions

* obviously from the above, multiple OOB components (e.g., TCP and UD) can be active in parallel

* the matching code has been moved to the RML (and out of the OOB/TCP component) so it is independent of transport

* routing is done by the individual OOB modules (as opposed to the RML). Thus, both routed and non-routed transports can simultaneously be active

* all blocking send/recv APIs have been removed. Everything operates asynchronously.


KNOWN LIMITATIONS:

* although provision is made for component failover as described above, the code for doing so has not been fully implemented yet. At the moment, if all connections for a given peer fail, the errmgr is notified of a "lost connection", which by default results in termination of the job if it was a lifeline

* the IPv6 code is present and compiles, but is not complete. Since the current IPv6 support in the OOB doesn't work anyway, I don't consider this a blocker

* routing is performed at the individual module level, yet the active routed component is selected on a global basis. We probably should update that to reflect that different transports may need/choose to route in different ways

* obviously, not every error path has been tested nor necessarily covered

* determining abnormal termination is more challenging than in the old code as we now potentially have multiple ways of connecting to a process. Ideally, we would declare "connection failed" when *all* transports can no longer reach the process, but that requires some additional (possibly complex) code. For now, the code replicates the old behavior only somewhat modified - i.e., if a module sees its connection fail, it checks to see if it is a lifeline. If so, it notifies the errmgr that the lifeline is lost - otherwise, it notifies the errmgr that a non-lifeline connection was lost.

* reachability is determined solely on the basis of a shared subnet address/mask - more sophisticated algorithms (e.g., the one used in the tcp btl) are required to handle routing via gateways

* the RML needs to assign sequence numbers to each message on a per-peer basis. The receiving RML will then deliver messages in order, thus preventing out-of-order messaging in the case where messages travel across different transports or a message needs to be redirected/resent due to failure of a NIC

b29b852281 Consolidate all the opal/orte/ompi .m4 files back to the top-level
config/ directory.  We split them apart a while ago in the hopes that
it would simplify things, but it didn't really (e.g., because there
were still some ompi/opal .m4 files in the top-level config/
directory, resulting in developer confusion where any given m4 macro
was defined).

So this commit consolidates them back into the top-level directory for
simplicity.  

There's still (at least) two changes that would be nice to make:

 1. Split any generated .m4 file (e.g., autogen-generated .m4 files)
    into a separate directory somewhere so that a top-level -Iconfig/
    will only get our explicitly defined macros, not the autogen stuff
    (e.g., with libevent2019 needing to get the visibility macro, but
    NOT all the autogen-generated inclusion of component configure.m4
    files).
 1. Change configure to be of the form:
{{{
# ...a small amount of preamble/setup...
OPAL_SETUP
m4_ifdef([project_orte], [ORTE_SETUP])
m4_ifdef([project_ompi], [OMPI_SETUP])
# ...a small amount of finishing stuff...
}}}

I doubt we'll ever get anything as clean as that, but that would be
the goal to shoot for.

214e26b539 Per Jeff (this work was done on a branch of mine, so I will do the commit):
Re-enable "./autogen.sh -no-ompi" again. If you -no-ompi, the entire OMPI
configury is skipped and the entire ompi/ subtree is not built. There's
some simple m4-isms that prune out the relevant parts.

I added ompi/config/, orte/config/, and opal/config/ directories. I moved a
bunch of m4 files from the top-level config/ dir into ompi/config/, and a few
into orte/config/.

Note that all 3 <project>/config directories have a config_files.m4 file. This
file contains the AC_CONFIG_FILES list for that project. The AC_CONFIG_FILES
call cannot be in an AC_DEFUN macro and conditionally called -- if it is
included at all, Autoconf will process it. Hence, these config_files.m4 files
don't AC_DEFUN -- they just have AC_CONFIG_FILES. m4_ifdef() is used to
conditionally include the files or not.

I moved a bunch of obvious OMPI-only m4 files from config/ to ompi/config/,
but I'm sure that there's more that could go. A ticket will be filed with
thoughts on future work in this area.
