following names are all new for v1.3, and therefore haven't been
officially released yet:
* btl_openib_of_cq_size
* btl_openib_of_max_inline_data
* btl_openib_of_pkey
* btl_openib_of_psn
* btl_openib_of_mtu
The "_of_" (for OpenFabrics) in there is redundant. It used to be
"_ib_", indicating that these values are pretty much passed directly
to the verbs stack. But I think the "openib" in the name implies this
already; having "_of_" in there just seems redundant, makes the name
longer, and seems redundant. It's also redundant.
So I took those "_of_"'s out of the MCA names. The old (v1.2) names
are still valid (but deprecated), such ash btl_openib_ib_cq_size.
This commit was SVN r19718.
* Change name: mca_btl_openib_of_pkey_value -> mca_btl_openib_of_pkey
(since now there's no index, the "_value" suffix is somewhat
superfluous)
* Put in a better help message for the _pkey MCA param (to agree with
the new help message in v1.2.8)

Fix a finalize bug with the C/R thread. There is a race in the way we were finalizing the C/R thread such that, given a particular interleaving of threads, the pthread_join would stall because the C/R thread was never released properly.
Found in MTT regression testing on Odin.
All and all if you were not compiling with FT & threading support you would never see this problem.

Commit from a long-standing Mercurial tree that ended up incorporating a lot of things:
* A few fixes for CPC interface changes in all the CPCs
* Attempts (but not yet finished) to fix shutdown problems in the IB CM CPC
* #1319: add CTS support (i.e., initiator guarantees to send first message; automatically activated for iWARP over the RDMA CM CPC)
* Some variable and function renamings to make this be generic (e.g., alloc_credit_frag became alloc_control_frag)
* CPCs no longer post receive buffers; they only post a single receive buffer for the CTS if they use CTS. Instead, the main BTL now posts the main sets of receive buffers.
* CPCs allocate a CTS buffer only if they're about to make a connection
* RDMA CM improvements:
* Use threaded mode openib fd monitoring to wait for for RDMA CM events
* Synchronize endpoint finalization and disconnection between main thread and service thread to avoid/fix some race conditions
* Converted several structs to be OBJs so that we can use reference counting to know when to invoke destructors
* Make some new OBJ's have opal_list_item_t's as their base, thereby eliminating the need for the local list_item_t type
* Renamed many variables to be internally consistent
* Centralize the decision in an inline function as to whether this process or the remote process is supposed to be the initiator
* Add oodles of OPAL_OUTPUT statements for debugging (hard-wired to output stream -1; to be activated by developers if they want/need them)
* Use rdma_create_qp() instead of ibv_create_qp()
* openib fd monitoring improvements:
* Renamed a bunch of functions and variables to be a little more obvious as to their true function
* Use pipes to communicate between main thread and service thread
* Add ability for main thread to invoke a function back on the service thread
* Ensure to set initiator_depth and responder_resources properly, but putting max_qp_rd_ataom and ma_qp_init_rd_atom in the modex (see rdma_connect(3))
* Ensure to set the source IP address in rdma_resolve() to ensure that we select the correct OpenFabrics source port
* Make new MCA param: openib_btl_connect_rdmacm_resolve_timeout
* Other improvements:
* btl_openib_device_type MCA param: can be "iw" or "ib" or "all" (or "infiniband" or "iwarp")
* Somewhat improved error handling
* Bunches of spelling fixes in comments, VERBOSE, and OUTPUT statements
* Oodles of little coding style fixes
* Changed shutdown ordering of btl; the device is now an OBJ with ref counting for destruction
* Added some more show_help error messages
* Change configury to only build IBCM / RDMACM if we have threads (because we need a progress thread)

got a whole lot smaller, decreasing the memory footprint of the
running application. How much it's a good question. Here is a
breakdown:
- in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t: 3 *size_t + 1 * uint32_t
- in mca_bml_base_btl_t: 1 * int + 1 * double - 1 * float
+ 6 * size_t + 9 * (void*)
The decrease in mca_bml_base_endpoint_t is for each peer and the
decrease in mca_bml_base_btl_t is for each BTL for each peer.
So, if we consider the most convenient case where there is only
one network between all peers, this decrease the memory foot print
per peer by
9*size_t + 9*(void*) + 2 * int32_t + 1 * double - 1 * float.
On a 64 bits machine this will be 156 bytes per peer.
Now we access all these fields directly from the underlying BTL
structure, and as this structure is common to multiple BML endpoint,
we are a lot more cache friendly. Even if this do not improve the
latency, it makes the SM performance graph a lot smoother.

There was an argument that was barely used, and on return at the PML
level it contained nothing usable. It has been removed, so now we're
using less memory ...

(related to the presence of posix threads and ptmalloc2) is now a
little outdated: since we don't build ptmalloc2 as part of libopal
anymore, the openib BTL's requirements are not directly tied to
ptmalloc2's anymore. Specifically, I altered the test to:
1. At compile time, if no threads are found, the ptmalloc2 component
is going to be built, '''and the ptmalloc2 component is going to be
inside libopal,''' then refuse to build the openib BTL.
1. At run time, if no threads were available at compile time and the
ptmalloc2 component is part of the process, then refuse to use the
openib BTL.

This commit was SVN r19642.
Rationale:
1. This value has already changed since v1.2 (v1.2 MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME
== 36). Hence, this commit simply increases the value from a
previous change.
1. The changes does increase OMPI's memory footprint slightly, but
only when using MPI-2 dynamics. So it is expected that the change
will have minimal impact on the overall footprint.
1. The change is helpful for nodes that have 4 or more IP networks
(e.g., regular ethernet and multiple IP-over-<pick your favorite
high-speed network> networks). Without this change, invoking
MPI_COMM_SPAWN on hosts with 4 or more IP networks will fail
because we'll exceed 256 bytes for the port name. Some OMPI
developer test clusters already have this kind of configuration
(e.g., Cisco); it is expected that this is not too common in the
real world yet, but with "manycore" coming, having multiple
IP-based networks in a single server will likely become more
common.
