Also detect orted failed-to-start by setting timeout on launch. Currently only used in TM launcher.
Neither detection is enabled by default, but are only active if heartrate is set and/or launch timeout is set. Exception for SLURM as orted failure is always detected and reported.
More info to come on devel list.
This commit was SVN r18555.
1. it depends upon the ability of the native environment to alert us that the orted has died/failed to start. I have included that support for SLURM, but other environments need to be done.
2. for some yet-to-be-determined reason, the message that tells the remaining daemons to "die" isn't getting out of the RML, even though no obvious blockage is standing in the way. Work will continue on resolving that problem. For now, the orteds appear to be exiting on their own quite nicely when they see their HNP "lifeline" disappear.
This represents the best-available fix for ticket #221 so I am closing that ticket at this time.
This commit was SVN r18536.
The former will return a valid item in the list, the latter will return an invalid item that marks the end of the list.
It was happending that when oversubscribing by way of an appfile we would cause a segv because we tried to interpret the invalid item returned by "opal_list_get_end" instead of a valid item. We would then try to write to unallocated memory.

such, the commit message back to the master SVN repository is fairly
long.
= ORTE Job-Level Output Messages =
Add two new interfaces that should be used for all new code throughout
the ORTE and OMPI layers (we already make the search-and-replace on
the existing ORTE / OMPI layers):
* orte_output(): (and corresponding friends ORTE_OUTPUT,
orte_output_verbose, etc.) This function sends the output directly
to the HNP for processing as part of a job-specific output
channel. It supports all the same outputs as opal_output()
(syslog, file, stdout, stderr), but for stdout/stderr, the output
is sent to the HNP for processing and output. More on this below.
* orte_show_help(): This function is a drop-in-replacement for
opal_show_help(), with two differences in functionality:
1. the rendered text help message output is sent to the HNP for
display (rather than outputting directly into the process' stderr
stream)
1. the HNP detects duplicate help messages and does not display them
(so that you don't see the same error message N times, once from
each of your N MPI processes); instead, it counts "new" instances
of the help message and displays a message every ~5 seconds when
there are new ones ("I got X new copies of the help message...")
opal_show_help and opal_output still exist, but they only output in
the current process. The intent for the new orte_* functions is that
they can apply job-level intelligence to the output. As such, we
recommend that all new ORTE and OMPI code use the new orte_*
functions, not thei opal_* functions.
=== New code ===
For ORTE and OMPI programmers, here's what you need to do differently
in new code:
* Do not include opal/util/show_help.h or opal/util/output.h.
Instead, include orte/util/output.h (this one header file has
declarations for both the orte_output() series of functions and
orte_show_help()).
* Effectively s/opal_output/orte_output/gi throughout your code.
Note that orte_output_open() takes a slightly different argument
list (as a way to pass data to the filtering stream -- see below),
so you if explicitly call opal_output_open(), you'll need to
slightly adapt to the new signature of orte_output_open().
* Literally s/opal_show_help/orte_show_help/. The function signature
is identical.
=== Notes ===
* orte_output'ing to stream 0 will do similar to what
opal_output'ing did, so leaving a hard-coded "0" as the first
argument is safe.
* For systems that do not use ORTE's RML or the HNP, the effect of
orte_output_* and orte_show_help will be identical to their opal
counterparts (the additional information passed to
orte_output_open() will be lost!). Indeed, the orte_* functions
simply become trivial wrappers to their opal_* counterparts. Note
that we have not tested this; the code is simple but it is quite
possible that we mucked something up.
= Filter Framework =
Messages sent view the new orte_* functions described above and
messages output via the IOF on the HNP will now optionally be passed
through a new "filter" framework before being output to
stdout/stderr. The "filter" OPAL MCA framework is intended to allow
preprocessing to messages before they are sent to their final
destinations. The first component that was written in the filter
framework was to create an XML stream, segregating all the messages
into different XML tags, etc. This will allow 3rd party tools to read
the stdout/stderr from the HNP and be able to know exactly what each
text message is (e.g., a help message, another OMPI infrastructure
message, stdout from the user process, stderr from the user process,
etc.).
Filtering is not active by default. Filter components must be
specifically requested, such as:
{{{
$ mpirun --mca filter xml ...
}}}
There can only be one filter component active.
= New MCA Parameters =
The new functionality described above introduces two new MCA
parameters:
* '''orte_base_help_aggregate''': Defaults to 1 (true), meaning that
help messages will be aggregated, as described above. If set to 0,
all help messages will be displayed, even if they are duplicates
(i.e., the original behavior).
* '''orte_base_show_output_recursions''': An MCA parameter to help
debug one of the known issues, described below. It is likely that
this MCA parameter will disappear before v1.3 final.
= Known Issues =
* The XML filter component is not complete. The current output from
this component is preliminary and not real XML. A bit more work
needs to be done to configure.m4 search for an appropriate XML
library/link it in/use it at run time.
* There are possible recursion loops in the orte_output() and
orte_show_help() functions -- e.g., if RML send calls orte_output()
or orte_show_help(). We have some ideas how to fix these, but
figured that it was ok to commit before feature freeze with known
issues. The code currently contains sub-optimal workarounds so
that this will not be a problem, but it would be good to actually
solve the problem rather than have hackish workarounds before v1.3 final.
This commit was SVN r18434.
* Remove the opal_only option. This was suffering from bit rot, and no one uses it. It can be added back fairly easily if wanted.
* Cleanup metadata interactions at the local level.
* Touch up some of the INC funcitonality (fix typos and a minor ordering issue)

All spawned procs must decode the port of the spawning process so they can communicate in direct routed mode.
This fixes comm_spawn for all routing modes.
This commit was SVN r18395.
Make it all work with comm_spawn in the case of all procs on previously occupied nodes, some new procs on new nodes, and mixtures of the two.
Note: comm_spawn now works with both binomial and linear routed modules. There remains a problem of spawned procs not properly getting updated contact info for the parent proc when run in the direct routed mode...but that's for another day.
This commit was SVN r18385.
If no AMCA parameters are passed then do not send across the path information. Only place it on the command line if the AMCA parameter is set.

Any components not in the trunk, but in one of the effected frameworks *must* be
updated. Contact the list, look at the RFC, or look at the diff for how to do this.
Sorry for the early commit of this, but I wanted to get it in today (per RFC) and
didn't know if I would have a chance later today.

Modify grpcomm xcast so it now uses the selected routed module - eliminates cross-wiring of xcast and routing paths. Suboptimal at the moment, but better implementation is on its way.
Cleanup ignore properties on the new routed components.
This commit was SVN r18377.
Add two new API's to the routed framework - stub them out so that collaborators can work on them in various components without conflicts.
Remove a "finalize" from the select function that could cause problems as the component had not had its initialize called yet.
This commit was SVN r18369.
Update the rsh tree spawn capability so we spawn the next wave of daemons before launching our own local procs.
Add an ability to encode nodenames for large clusters with contiguous node name numbering schemes - this allows communication of all node names in a few bytes instead of tens-of-bytes/node.
This commit was SVN r18338.
The problem was caused by a bad ordering between the restart of the ORTE level tcp connections (in the OOB - out-of-band communication) and the Open MPI level tcp connections (BTLs). Before this commit ORTE would shutdown and restart the OOB completely before the OMPI level restarted its tcp connections. What would happen is that a socket descriptor used by the OMPI level on checkpoint was assigned to the ORTE level on restart. But the OMPI level had no knowledge that the socket descriptor it was previously using has been recycled so it closed it on restart. This caused the ORTE level to break as the newly created socket descriptor was closed without its knowledge.
The fix is to have the OMPI level shutdown tcp connections, allow the ORTE level to restart, and then allow the OMPi level to restart its connections. This seems obvious, and I'm surprised that this bug has not cropped up sooner. I'm confident that this specific problem has been fixed with this commit.
Thanks to Eric Roman and Tamer El Sayed for their help in identifying this problem, and patience while I was fixing it.
* Add a new state {{{OPAL_CRS_RESTART_PRE}}}. This state identifies when we are on the down slope of the INC (finalize-like) which is useful when you want to close, but not reopen a component set for fear of interfering with a lower level.
* Use this new state in OMPI level coordination. Here we want to make sure to play well with both the OMPI/BTL/TCP and ORTE/OOB/TCP components.
* Update ft_event functions in PML and BML to handle the new restart state.
* Add an additional flag to the error output in OOB/TCP so we can see what the socket descriptor was on failure as this can be helpful in debugging.
This commit was SVN r18276.
We were mistakenly computing the local_rank across -all- jobs with procs on that node. While the two definitions are equivalent for an initial launch, comm_spawn'd procs would get the wrong local_rank. In particular, there would not be a local_rank=0 proc in the comm_spawn'd job on any node that was shared with the initial job.
This commit was SVN r18263.
Fix a potential problem with RM-provided nodenames not matching returns from gethostname - ensure that the HNP's nodename gets DNS-resolved when comparing against RM-provided hostnames. Note that this may be an issue for RM-based clusters that don't have local DNS resolution, but hopefully that is more indicative of a poorly configured system.

Restore the "do-not-launch" functionality so users can test a mapping without launching it.
Add a "do-not-resolve" cmd line flag to mpirun so the opal/util/if.c code does not attempt to resolve network addresses, thus enabling a user to test a hostfile mapping without hanging on network resolve requests.
Add a function to hostfile to generate an ordered list of host names from a hostfile
This commit was SVN r18190.
Fix the ompi-server -h cmd line option so it actually tells you something!
Add two new testing codes to the orte/test/mpi area: accept and connect.
This commit was SVN r18176.
Like btl_tcp_disable_family, this parameter more or less disables
a whole address family. Though the sockets are still created, the
corresponding information isn't added to the connection strings.
Likewise, we don't try to connect to addresses matching the disabled
address family.
This is particularly important for multidomain clusters, where IPv4 is
oftenly filtered (firewalled), sometimes by simply dropping the packets
instead of rejecting them (thus causing a connection timeout instead of
a quick "no route to host").
This commit was SVN r18163.
Add the daemon map capability to the ODLS to create and save a map of daemon vpid vs nodename from the launch message.
Cleanup a few places in the base plm launch support where we didn't adequately protect rml recv's from potentially executing sends.
This commit was SVN r18143.
1. applied prefix rule to functions and variables of RMAPS rank_file component
2. cleaned ompi_mpi_init.c from paffinity code
3. paffinity code moved to new opal/mca/paffinity/base/paffinity_base_service.c file
4. added opal_paffinity_slot_list mca parameter
This commit was SVN r18019.
The bug was a race condition in the barrier operation that caused the barrier in MPI_Finalize to fail on very short programs.
Scalaiblity was improved by using the daemons to aggregate modex and barrier messages before sending them to the rank=0 proc. Improvement is proportional to ppn, of course, but there really wasn't a scaling problem at low ppn anyway. This modification also paves the way for better allgather operations since now all the data for each node is sitting at the daemon level, and the daemons are now aware that a collective operation on the OOB is underway (so they -can- participate in a collective of their own to support it).
Also added better diagnostics to map out the timing associated with MPI_Init - turned on by -mca orte_timing 1.

Event uninit_use: Using uninitialized value "rc"
Instead of initializing rc in the beginning, rather use return value
of opal_hash_table_set_value_uint32.
This commit was SVN r17976.
Specifically, add two new APIs:
1. lost_route: allows the OOB to report that a connection has failed, thereby giving the routed module an opportunity to respond appropriately to its topology. Creating the API also allows each routed component to hold its own definition of "lifeline" - in some cases, this may be a single connection, but in others it may be multiple connections. Some modules may choose to re-route messaging if the lifeline or any other connection is lost, while others may choose to abort the job.
Both the tree and unity modules retain the current behavior and abort the job if the lifeline connection is lost, while ignoring other lost connections.
2. get_wireup_info: returns (in a provided buffer) info required to wireup connections for the specified job. Some routed modules do not need to return any info as they can wireup via alternative means, while some need to xchg data with their peers. If info is inserted into the buffer, the plm_base_launch_apps function will xcast the contents to the specified job.
The commit also removes the "lifeline" entry from the orte_process_info struct (and the associated ORTE_PROC_MY_LIFELINE definition) as the lifeline info is now contained within the respective routed module.
This commit was SVN r17969.
Clarify the setting of send_first in the mpi bindings (trivial, i know, but helpful)
Remove the extra xcast of child contact info to the parent job.
This commit was SVN r17952.
Reogranize the grpcomm code a little to provide support for soon-to-come new grpcomm components. The revised organization puts what will be common code elements in the base to avoid duplication, while allowing components that don't need those functions to ignore them.
This commit was SVN r17941.
Only one place used the user name field - session_dir, when formulating the name of the top-level directory. Accordingly, the code for getting the user's id has been moved to the session_dir code.
This commit was SVN r17926.
This has been a long-time problem. I tried to reduce the problem by having the orteds tell the HNP they were finalizing, and having the HNP wait until all orteds had reported or we timed out.
What was observed was that all the orteds were correctly reporting that they are leaving, but the HNP is able to exit before the orteds, thus closing the orteds lifeline socket and generating the error output. This is caused by the fact that the orteds have to whack all remaining session directories, which includes that blasted monster shared memory file! Cleaning up the SM file can take quite a while.
The HNP doesn't have that problem as there is no SM file there! So it gets out first.
What we had done in the past to resolve that problem was put a little test in the OOB that checks to see if we are finalizing. If we are, then we ignore the lifeline connection being lost. That check was still in the code - however, we had lost the line in orte_finalize that set the flag!!
This commit was SVN r17893.
Fix race conditions in abnormal terminations. We had done a first-cut at this in a prior commit. However, the window remained partially open due to the fact that the HNP has multiple paths leading to orte_finalize. Most of our frameworks don't care if they are finalized more than once, but one of them does, which meant we segfaulted if orte_finalize got called more than once. Besides, we really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
So we now introduce a set of atomic locks that prevent us from multiply calling abort, attempting to call orte_finalize, etc. My initial tests indicate this is working cleanly, but since it is a race condition issue, more testing will have to be done before we know for sure that this problem has been licked.
Also, some updates relevant to the tool comm library snuck in here. Since those also touched the orted code (as did the prior changes), I didn't want to attempt to separate them out - besides, they are coming in soon anyway. More on them later as that functionality approaches completion.
This commit was SVN r17843.
Comm_spawn was sticking during spawn_multiple because of a problem in the dpm - the modex there is asking processes to talk to each other in an allgather_list operation, but the procs don't have the required contact info to do so. The solution here was to ensure that all parent procs have full contact info for procs in the child job.
Admittedly, this isn't the long-term answer. We would like to have the contact info given to only the parent procs that were involved in the comm_spawn. There is a way to do that, but this will suffice to keep things working until that can be implemented and tested.
This commit was SVN r17772.
Ensure that direct xcast handles all its use-cases correctly.
Unity routed component needs to use the base recv function to properly operate.
This commit was SVN r17764.
This commit adds definition for a "lifeline" connection. For an HNP, there is no lifeline, so the lifeline proc is NULL. For a daemon, the lifeline is the HNP - the daemon should abort if it loses that connection.
For a proc using unity routed, the lifeline is the HNP since it connects directly to the HNP.
For a proc using tree routed, the lifeline is the local daemon.
Adjusted OOB to call abort if the lifeline (as opposed to HNP) connection is lost.
This commit was SVN r17761.
