Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply. You have understood my problem correctly but I am
unable to comprehend your solution or suggestion where to look into . The
btl_size is shown as 12 and size as 8. But my understanding of
mca_btl_tcp_comonent_exchange function is a touch different or perhaps wrong,
so please correct me if I am wrong.
Once we do the exchange i.e. mca_btl_tcp_component_exchange:(), the size is
calculated as
size_t size = mca_btl_tcp_component.tcp_num_btls * sizeof(mca_btl_tcp_addr_t);
This is giving me correct size. I have only one tcp_num_btls, therefore size is
given as 12. Now we allocate memory by
mca_btl_tcp_addr_t *addrs = (mca_btl_tcp_addr_t *)malloc(size)
As size is 12, hence it gives me the correct allocation. And lastly
rc = mca_pml_base_modex_send(&mca_btl_tcp_component.super.btl_version, addrs,
size);
This sends addrs with the size 12. Should not that work out of the box? Or are
there more things attached which are not transparent?
Can you please give me some more explanation of this statement.... which I
think holds the key to my solution, but I am not able to comprehend correctly.
"We copy the information to be sent into the addrs array and increase xfer_size
afterwards (telling the function how many bytes to be transferred)."
Where exactly are we increasing the size?
Best Regards,
Muhammad Atif

Just an idea: the mca_base_modex_recv error gives you this error:
BTL_ERROR(("mca_base_modex_recv: invalid size %d: btl-size:
%d\n", size, sizeof(mca_btl_tcp_addr_t)));
So what is wrong? Is btl-size shown as 12 or as 8? It should be 12. And
is size just 8? So this means you forgot to include your new socket in
your modex_send_request.
See mca_btl_tcp_component_exchange: We copy the information to be sent
into the addrs array and increase xfer_size afterwards (telling the
function how many bytes to be transferred).
Perhaps you missed something there.
