The fix for the HPL SEGV was incorrect because it assumed the
prepare_src() routine was always allowed to return "bytes processed"
less than the requested "bytes to send". It turns out this is only true
if the convertor is what limits the size, we are not allowed to limit
the data sent for our own reasons, else we break login in the upper
layers.
This means we need to learn the number of bytes out of the size
requested the convertor will give us, no matter how big the size is.
Unfortunately, this is a destructive test, and (currently) the only way to
learn that number is to actually have the convertor copy the data out into
buffers.
This change implements this, copying the entire data out into a chain of
send segments which are attached to the large send fragment. Now we can
always return the proper size value to the PML.

*** 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.

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

So shift the cutoff param to the MPI layer, and have it solely determine whether or not we call modex_recv on the hostname. If comm_world is of size greater than the cutoff, then we don't automatically retrieve the hostname when we build the ompi_proc_t for a process - instead, we fill the hostname entry on first call to modex_recv for that process.
The param is now "ompi_hostname_cutoff=N", where N=number of procs for cutoff.

* add a new MCA param orte_hostname_cutoff to specify the number of nodes at which we stop including hostnames. This defaults to INT_MAX => always include hostnames. If a value is given, then we will include hostnames for any allocation smaller than the given limit.
* remove ompi_proc_get_hostname. Replace all occurrences with a direct link to ompi_proc_t's proc_hostname, protected by appropriate "if NULL"
* modify the OMPI-ORTE integration component so that any call to modex_recv automatically loads the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field as well as returning the requested info. Thus, any process whose modex info you retrieve will automatically receive the hostname. Note that on-demand retrieval is still enabled - i.e., if we are running under direct launch with PMI, the hostname will be fetched upon first call to modex_recv, and then the ompi_proc_t->proc_hostname field will be loaded
* removed a stale MCA param "mpi_keep_peer_hostnames" that was no longer used anywhere in the code base
* added an envar lookup in ess/pmi for the number of nodes in the allocation. Sadly, PMI itself doesn't provide that info, so we have to get it a different way. Currently, we support PBS-based systems and SLURM - for any other, rank0 will emit a warning and we assume max number of daemons so we will always retain hostnames
This commit was SVN r29052.
This creates a really bad scaling behavior. Users have found a nearly 20% launch time differential between mpirun and PMI, with PMI being the slower method. Some of the problem is attributable to poor exchange algorithms in RM's like Slurm and Alps, but we make things worse by calling "get" so many times.
Nathan (with a tad advice from me) has attempted to alleviate this problem by reducing the number of "get" calls. This required the following changes:
* upon first request for data, have the OPAL db pmi component fetch and decode *all* the info from a given remote proc. It turned out we weren't caching the info, so we would continually request it and only decode the piece we needed for the immediate request. We now decode all the info and push it into the db hash component for local storage - and then all subsequent retrievals are fulfilled locally
* reduced the amount of data by eliminating the exchange of the OMPI_ARCH value if heterogeneity is not enabled. This was used solely as a check so we would error out if the system wasn't actually homogeneous, which was fine when we thought there was no cost in doing the check. Unfortunately, at large scale and with direct launch, there is a non-zero cost of making this test. We are open to finding a compromise (perhaps turning the test off if requested?), if people feel strongly about performing the test
* reduced the amount of RTE data being automatically fetched, and fetched the rest only upon request. In particular, we no longer immediately fetch the hostname (which is only used for error reporting), but instead get it when needed. Likewise for the RML uri as that info is only required for some (not all) environments. In addition, we no longer fetch the locality unless required, relying instead on the PMI clique info to tell us who is on our local node (if additional info is required, the fetch is performed when a modex_recv is issued).
Again, all this only impacts direct launch - all the info is provided when launched via mpirun as there is no added cost to getting it
Barring objections, we may move this (plus any required other pieces) to the 1.7 branch once it soaks for an appropriate time.

This BTL accesses the Cisco usNIC Linux device via the Linux verbs
API via Unreliable Datagram queue pairs. A few noteworthy points:
* This BTL does most of its own fragmentation; it tells the PML that
it has a very high max_send_size (much higher than the network
MTU).
* Since UD fragments are, by definition, unreliable, the usnic BTL
handles all of its own reliability via a sliding window approach
using the opal_hotel construct and many tricks stolen from the
corpus of knowledge surrounding efficient TCP.
* There is a fun PML latency-metric based optimization for NUMA
awareness of short messages.
* Note that this is ''not'' a generic UD verbs BTL; it is specific to
the Cisco usNIC device.

George and I were talking about ORTE's error handling the other day in regards to the right way to deal with errors in the updated OOB. Specifically, it seemed a bad idea for a library such as ORTE to be aborting the job on its own prerogative. If we lose a connection or cannot send a message, then we really should just report it upwards and let the application and/or upper layers decide what to do about it.
The current code base only allows a single error callback to exist, which seemed unduly limiting. So, based on the conversation, I've modified the errmgr interface to provide a mechanism for registering any number of error handlers (this replaces the current "set_fault_callback" API). When an error occurs, these handlers will be called in order until one responds that the error has been "resolved" - i.e., no further action is required - by returning OMPI_SUCCESS. The default MPI layer error handler is specified to go "last" and calls mpi_abort, so the current "abort" behavior is preserved unless other error handlers are registered.
In the register_callback function, I provide an "order" param so you can specify "this callback must come first" or "this callback must come last". Seemed to me that we will probably have different code areas registering callbacks, and one might require it go first (the default "abort" will always require it go last). So you can append and prepend, or go first. Note that only one registration can declare itself "first" or "last", and since the default "abort" callback automatically takes "last", that one isn't available. :-)
The errhandler callback function passes an opal_pointer_array of structs, each of which contains the name of the proc involved (which can be yourself for internal errors) and the error code. This is a change from the current fault callback which returned an opal_pointer_array of just process names. Rationale is that you might need to see the cause of the error to decide what action to take. I realize that isn't a requirement for remote procs, but remember that we will use the SAME interface to report RTE errors internal to the proc itself. In those cases, you really do need to see the error code. It is legal to pass a NULL for the pointer array (e.g., when reporting an internal failure without error code), so handlers must be prepared for that possibility. If people find that too burdensome, we can remove it.
Should we ever decide to create a separate callback path for internal errors vs remote process failures, or if we decide to do something different based on experience, then we can adjust this API.

* It calls AC_MSG_ERROR, which configure.m4 scripts are ''never''

* All static and --disable-dlopen builds are broken; they fall afoul
of whatever test configure.m4 is doing and therefore error out of
configure entirely (vs. simply disabling the hcoll component).
* There appear to be multiple shell scripting errors in the
configure.m4. Here's the output of "./configure --disable-dlopen":
{{{

checking for MCA component coll:hcoll compile mode... static

1. Use static build & disable ml with:

2. Use dso build for ML & disable ml at runtime: -mca

Finally, all of these configure.m4 errors aside, I don't understand
why there is a ''compile-time'' exclusion between the hcoll and ml
components. Why isn't this a ''run-time'' decision? Having what
seems to be an unnecessary compile-time exclusion goes against the
general Open MPI philosophy.
Note: Open MPI 1.7 is also broken in all the same ways. I suggest
that the RM's .ompi_ignore hcoll over there, too.

Add the "ignore_device" field to the INI file. This allows us to
specifically list devices that should be ignored by the openib BTL

Also add the Intel Phi to the ini file, and set its ignore_device=1.
Finally, add the concept of counting intentionally ignored verbs
devices. Devices are ignored for one of two reasons:
* If the number of allowed ports on that device is 0 (i.e., if
if_include/if_exclude was set such that we're intentionally
ignoring this device).
* If the INI ignore_device field for this device is set to 1.
Once we have the count of devices that were intentionally ignored,
only show the "Hey, there's verbs devices that you're not using!"
show_help message if there are devices that were ''unintentionally''
ignored.

acks were often bogus. This caused the sender to keep trying even

most cases this should work well since only one message will be

of individual regions (each region is a multiple of page size in
length), and each process claims its own regions by binding it to its
local memory. Each process would end up membining something like 16
individual regions in the overall shmem segment.
There were two errors in this code relating to the memory affinity
pinning. Some combination of these two errors would lead to kernel
panics (!) on my RHEL 6.2 x86_64 machines when used with mmap'ed
shared memory (not posix or sysv shared memory, curiously enough):
1. The shared memory segment is initially divided into two regions:
control and data. The control starts at the beginning of the shmem
segment, the data starts after that. The data portion, unfortunately,
was ''not'' aligned to a page. So all the multiple-of-page-size
regions that we divvy up were also not alined on page boundaries. And
therefore all the regions we tried to membind were not on page
boundaries.
The solution was to ensure that the data portion started on a page
boundary. Then all of the individual regions were on page boundaries,
too.
That being said, in my tests, Linux mbind() fails gracefully when the
address is not on a page boundary. So I'm not sure how this worked at
all / led to a kernel panic...
2. There was some bad pointer math that resulted in membinding regions
larger than they should have been, resulting in region overlaps.
There were definitely overlaps between regions in the same process;
it's likely that there were overlaps between regions of multiple
processes, too -- I'm not sure (and don't care to figure out :-) ).
The solution was to fix the pointer math so that each region membinds
exactly only itself and no neighboring/overlapping regions.

- it is better to have high watermark and post relatively small number of wqes
- increased TX queue size

from the list (just for good measure), and then free() it (without
using _SAFE, we were accessing memory that was just free()'d to get to
the next item). Also be a little more thorough -- DESTRUCT the list
when we're all done.
This commit was SVN r28429.
(i.e., ensure that more data items get zeroed out/set to NULL) so that
if something goes wrong during initialization, we don't try to clean
up something that isn't there (and segv).
The chance of this happening on the trunk is very low (and will also
be low once the verbs improvements are brought over to v1.7). But it
can actually happen in the v1.6 branch (e.g., if no CPC is available,
we'll try to get the length of the endpoints list, but the endpoints
list is NULL).
Hence, even though the real goal is to get this functionality over to
v1.6, I figured I'd commit to the trunk/CMR to v1.7 just to try to
keep commonality in the openib between all three where possible.

This macro is only used on the failure path so the additional if statement
should not have any affect on performance.

Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().
opal: update core and components to mca_base_var system
orte: update core and components to mca_base_var system
ompi: update core and components to mca_base_var system
This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.
