After much work by Jeff and myself, and quite a lot of discussion, it has become clear that we simply cannot resolve the infinite loops caused by RML-involved subsystems calling orte_output. The original rationale for the change to orte_output has also been reduced by shifting the output of XML-formatted vs human readable messages to an alternative approach.
I have globally replaced the orte_output/ORTE_OUTPUT calls in the code base, as well as the corresponding .h file name. I have test compiled and run this on the various environments within my reach, so hopefully this will prove minimally disruptive.

* allow receive_queues to be specified in the INI file
* detect when multiple different receive_queues are specified and
gracefully abort
However, accomplishing these goals ran into multiple difficulties. By
putting receive_queues in the INI file:
1. we may not find the value until we've already traversed multiple HCAs
1. we may find multiple different receive_queues values
But since the openib btl initializes as it discovers each HCA/port/LID
(including the BSRQ data), if we find a new receive_queues value late
in the discovery process, then all the BSRQ data that was previously
initialized will likely be invalid. So I had to pull all the BSRQ
initialization out until after the rest of the discovery /
initialization process.
Additionally, note that if the user specifies the MCA parameter
btl_openib_receive_queues, it trumps whatever was in the INI file. So
in this case, there can never be a receive_queues conflict. This
commit does the following (Jon wrote part of this, too):
* adapt _ini.c to accept the "receive_queues" field in the file
* move 90% of _setup_qps() from _ini.c to _component.c
* move what was left of _setup_qps() into the main
_register_mca_params() function
* adapt init_one_hca() to detect conflicting receive_queues values
from the INI file
* after the _component.c loop calling init_one_hca():
* call setup_qps() to parse the final receive_queues string value
* traverse all resulting btls and initialize their HCAs (if they
weren't already): setup some lists and call prepare_hca_for_use()
I tested this code on a dual-HCA system where I artificially put in
differing receive_queues values in the INI file for the two different
types of HCAs that I have and it all seemed to work.

= 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.

- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.
Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an
active message one.

for dynamic selection of cpc methods based on what is available. It
also allows for inclusion/exclusions of methods. It even futher allows
for modifying the priorities of certain cpc methods to better determine
the optimal cpc method.
This patch also contains XRC compile time disablement (per Jeff's
patch).
At a high level, the cpc selections works by walking through each cpc
and allowing it to test to see if it is permissable to run on this
mpirun. It returns a priority if it is permissable or a -1 if not. All
of the cpc names and priorities are rolled into a string. This string
is then encapsulated in a message and passed around all the ompi
processes. Once received and unpacked, the list received is compared
to a local copy of the list. The connection method is chosen by
comparing the lists passed around to all nodes via modex with the list
generated locally. Any non-negative number is a potentially valid
connection method. The method below of determining the optimal
connection method is to take the cross-section of the two lists. The
highest single value (and the other side being non-negative) is selected
as the cpc method.

more often. Three new parameters are introduced that control polling ratios

1. Galen's fine-grain control of queue pair resources in the openib
BTL.
1. Pasha's new implementation of asychronous HCA event handling.
Pasha's new implementation doesn't take much explanation, but the new
"multifrag" stuff does.
Note that "svn merge" was not used to bring this new code from the
/tmp/ib_multifrag branch -- something Bad happened in the periodic
trunk pulls on that branch making an actual merge back to the trunk
effectively impossible (i.e., lots and lots of arbitrary conflicts and
artifical changes). :-(
== Fine-grain control of queue pair resources ==
Galen's fine-grain control of queue pair resources to the OpenIB BTL
(thanks to Gleb for fixing broken code and providing additional
functionality, Pasha for finding broken code, and Jeff for doing all
the svn work and regression testing).
Prior to this commit, the OpenIB BTL created two queue pairs: one for
eager size fragments and one for max send size fragments. When the
use of the shared receive queue (SRQ) was specified (via "-mca
btl_openib_use_srq 1"), these QPs would use a shared receive queue for
receive buffers instead of the default per-peer (PP) receive queues
and buffers. One consequence of this design is that receive buffer
utilization (the size of the data received as a percentage of the
receive buffer used for the data) was quite poor for a number of
applications.
The new design allows multiple QPs to be specified at runtime. Each
QP can be setup to use PP or SRQ receive buffers as well as giving
fine-grained control over receive buffer size, number of receive
buffers to post, when to replenish the receive queue (low water mark)
and for SRQ QPs, the number of outstanding sends can also be
specified. The following is an example of the syntax to describe QPs
to the OpenIB BTL using the new MCA parameter btl_openib_receive_queues:
{{{
-mca btl_openib_receive_queues \
"P,128,16,4;S,1024,256,128,32;S,4096,256,128,32;S,65536,256,128,32"
}}}
Each QP description is delimited by ";" (semicolon) with individual
fields of the QP description delimited by "," (comma). The above
example therefore describes 4 QPs.
The first QP is:
P,128,16,4
Meaning: per-peer receive buffer QPs are indicated by a starting field
of "P"; the first QP (shown above) is therefore a per-peer based QP.
The second field indicates the size of the receive buffer in bytes
(128 bytes). The third field indicates the number of receive buffers
to allocate to the QP (16). The fourth field indicates the low
watermark for receive buffers at which time the BTL will repost
receive buffers to the QP (4).
The second QP is:
S,1024,256,128,32
Shared receive queue based QPs are indicated by a starting field of
"S"; the second QP (shown above) is therefore a shared receive queue
based QP. The second, third and fourth fields are the same as in the
per-peer based QP. The fifth field is the number of outstanding sends
that are allowed at a given time on the QP (32). This provides a
"good enough" mechanism of flow control for some regular communication
patterns.
QPs MUST be specified in ascending receive buffer size order. This
requirement may be removed prior to 1.3 release.

* Support btl_openib_if_include and btl_openib_if_exclude MCA
parameters, similar to those supported by other BTLs. Each take a
comma-delimited lists of identifiers. Identifiers can be HCA
interface names (e.g., ipath0, mthca1, etc.) or an HCA interface
name and port numbers (e.g., ipath0:1, mthca1:2, etc.). It is an
error to specify both _include and _exclude. If you specify a
non-existant (or non-ACTIVE) HCA and/or port, you'll get a warning
unless you disable the warning by setting the MCA parameter
btl_openib_warn_nonexistent_if to 0.

* A few other minor fixes that were picked up along the way.

This is required to tighten up the BTL semantics. Ordering is not guaranteed,
but, if the BTL returns a order tag in a descriptor (other than
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER) then we may request another descriptor that will obey
ordering w.r.t. to the other descriptor.
This will allow sane behavior for RDMA networks, where local completion of an
RDMA operation on the active side does not imply remote completion on the
passive side. If we send a FIN message after local completion and the FIN is
not ordered w.r.t. the RDMA operation then badness may occur as the passive
side may now try to deregister the memory and the RDMA operation may still be
pending on the passive side.
Note that this has no impact on networks that don't suffer from this
limitation as the ORDER tag can simply always be specified as
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER.
