The rml/oob was not doing sanity checks on the input peer
parameter for the orte_rml_oob_send_nb and orte_rml_oob_send_buffer_nd.
Owing to the fact that there are places in the ompi/orte stack
where things like orte_show_help_norender are called way before
ORTE_PROC_MY_HNP, are setup properly, all kinds of weird
startup failures can occur as the rml/oob tries to process send
requests where the peer is junk.
Rather than try to expand this kind of thing:
/* if we are the HNP, or the RML has not yet been setup,
* or ROUTED has not been setup,
* or we weren't given an HNP, or we are running in standalone
* mode, then all we can do is process this locally
*/
if (ORTE_PROC_IS_HNP || orte_standalone_operation ||
NULL == orte_rml.send_buffer_nb ||
NULL == orte_routed.get_route ||
NULL == orte_process_info.my_hnp_uri) {
rc = show_help(filename, topic, output, ORTE_PROC_MY_NAME);
}
do the right thing in the rml level and return an error rather than
eventually failing in the send owing to peer not being valid.
Need to check if the alps odls component has already
read the rdma creds from alps. Its okay to ask apshepherd
multiple times for rdma creds, but opal_setenv gets
a bit picky about this. Rather than check for the OPAL_EXISTS
return value from opal_setenv, for now just check with
a static variable whether or not orte_odls_alps_get_rdma_creds
has already been successfully called before.
Would be nice to have an opal_getenv function for checking
if an env. variable had already been set by opal_putenv.
Turns out the alps plm component wasn't changing the state
of the job upon terminating the orted's in the case of
an abnormal termination. This caused mpirun to hang
with a zommbie'd aprun process if an orted on a node
in the job was killed via signal.
In the course of doing some testing with how orted's
handle signaled child processes, found out that very
often doing a kill -9 on a process on a node just
results in the job hanging. The problem was that the
orted odls/errmgr was not properly handling the exit_code
being returned from waitpid. Now mark the proc state
as ORTE_PROC_STATE_ABORTED_BY_SIG if the exit_code
from waitpid indicates the process exited owing to
a signal.
Retain the hetero-nodes flag for those cases where the user *knows* that there are differences and our automated system isn't good enough to see it.
Will obviously require further refinement as we find out which variances it can detect, and which it cannot.
So we need all the routing code for dealing with cross-job communications, lifelines, etc. The HNP will be directly connected to all daemons as they must callback at startup, and so we need to track those children correctly so we know when it is okay to terminate.
We still have to support direct launch, though, as this is the only component we can use in that scenario. So if the app doesn't have daemon URI info, then it must fall back to directly connecting to everything.
