Yalla has a macro PML_YALLA_INIT_MXM_REQ_DATA that checks if a datatype
is contiguous via opal_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout(dt,count)
and if so it selects a size and lb that presumably is what will rdma, as
ompi_datatype_type_size(_dtype, &size); \
ompi_datatype_type_lb(_dtype, &lb); \
This failed when I gave it a datatype constructed as [ ...] with extent 4.
What I mean by that datatype is
lens[0] = 3;
disps[0] = 1;
types[0] = MPI_CHAR;
MPI_Type_struct(1, lens, disps, types, &tmpdt);
MPI_Type_create_resized(tmpdt, 0, 4, &mydt);
So there are 3 chars at offset 1, and the LB is 0 and the UB is 4.
So that macro decides that size=4 and lb=0 and later I suppose size is getting
updated to 3 for the final rdma, and so a send of a buffer
[ 0 1 2 3 ] gets recved as [ 0 1 2 _ ]. I think it should use the true lb
and the true extent.
For "regular" contig datatypes it would be the same, and for the irregular
ones that are still deemed contiguous by that utility function it should
still be the right thing to use.
