There was a bug in the openib btl handling this valid sequence of
calls:
desc = btl_alloc ();
btl_free (desc);
When triggered the bug would cause either fragment loss or undefined
behavior (SEGV, etc). The problem occured because btl_alloc contained
the logic to modify the pending fragment (length, etc) and these
changes were not corrected if the fragment was freed instead of sent.
To fix this issue I 1) moved some of the coalescing logic to the
btl_send function, and 2) retry the coalesced fragment on btl_free
if it was never sent. This appears to completely address the issue.
For systems with OFED's lacking XRC support, commit b3617e73
broke the build of the openib btl. This commit addresses
the issues introduced by this commit.
Use the pkg-config related m4 functions to find out where
Cray's xpmem.h and libxpmem are located on a system.
With this commit, there is no longer any need to have to
explicitly indicate an xpmem install location on the configure
line, at least for Cray systems running CLE 4.X and 5.X.
Replace temporary environment variables with a MCA
parameter for the ugni btl. A user wishing to
use the ugni btl async. progress thread needs to
set the request_progress_thread param to true.
For example, using env. variable format:
export OMPI_MCA_btl_ugni_request_progress_thread=1
Verified via testing with unit tests, etc. that
in fact BTE TX descriptors using CQs configured to
generate IRQs were in fact working correctly on Cray XC. Disable
send message back to self and just use IRQs generated
by completion of TX descriptors posted to BTE.
Honor enable_mpi_threads setting to enable the ugni btl
async progress thread. If the app doesn't request thread-multiple
the thread will not be created.
- by default allow to register maximum possible (i.e 2 * total_memory)
memory. This beheviour can be turned off using mca parameter
"btl_openib_allow_max_memory_registration"
- In fallback case, use device specific parameters to calulate
memory limit.
while cleaning up after receiving a zero byte on the connect socket
(localyy started connection), while another was trying to accept a
new connection from the same peer. Create a zero-timed event and
delocalize the accept into a timer_event.
Add support for registering an error callback, that can be used when a
connection is discovered as failed during the initialization process.
was quite subtle, and only happened on the process with the smallest
guid (as this process will tear down the connection created locally and
replace it with the result of accept). If multiple threads are active in
the system, the deadlock occurs during the recv event deletion as one
thread will hold the recv event lock of the endpoint and try to access
the TCP event base lock, while the other thread will hold the TCP event
base lock while trying to access the recv event lock (in case data is
available on the socket).
The proposed solution let the event callback fail to process the data,
preventing the deadlock and allowing the other thread to always complete
it's job. As the event is not execute the same triggered will trigger
again at the next opportunity, so this solution introduce a minimal
delay in the connection establishement.
This commit represents the conversion of the usnic BTL from verbs to
libfabric.
For the moment, libfabric is embedded in Open MPI (currently in the
usnic BTL). This is because the libfabric API is still changing, and
also has not yet been released. Ultimately, this embedded copy of
libfabric will likely disappear and the usnic BTL will rely on an
external installation of libfabric.
New configure options:
* --with-libfabric: will cause configure to fail if libfabric support
cannot be built
* --without-libfabric: will prevent libfabric support from being built
* --with-libfabric=DIR: use an external libfabric installation
* --with-libfabric-libdir=LIBDIR: when paired with --with-libfabric=DIR,
use LIBDIR for the libfabric installation library dir
The --with-libnl3[-libdir] arguments are now gone.
If OPAL_MODEX_RECV() returns OPAL_ERR_NOT_FOUND, the peer didn't
send any Portals4 BTL info. This is not a fatal error. Instead of
disqualifying the Portals4 BTL just ignore that peer.
@jsquyres reported this in #194.
inserted in the ompi_proc_list as soon as it is created and it
is removed only upon the call to the destructor. In ompi_proc_finalize
we loop over all procs in ompi_proc_finalize and release them once.
However, as a proc is not removed from this list right away, we
decrease the ref count for each proc until it reach zero and the
proc is finally removed. Thus, we cannot clean the BML/BTL after
the call the ompi_proc_finalize.
A quick fix is to delay the call to ompi_proc_finalize until all
other frameworks have been finalized, and then the behavior
depicted above will give the expected outcome.
