Hi all,
We are currently experiencing problems at launch on the 1.5 branch on
relatively large number of nodes (at least 80). Some processes are not
spawned and orted processes are deadlocked.
When MPI processes are calling MPI_Init before send_relay is complete, the
send_relay function and the daemon_collective function are doing a nice
interlock :
Here is the scenario :
send_relay
performs the send tree :
> orte_rml_oob_send_buffer
> orte_rml_oob_send
> opal_wait_condition
Waiting on completion from send thus calling opal_progress()
> opal_progress()
But since a collective request arrived from the network, entered :
> daemon_collective
However, daemon_collective is waiting for the job to be initialized
(wait on jobdat->launch_msg_processed) before continuing, thus calling :
> opal_progress()
At this time, the send may complete, but since we will never go back to
orte_rml_oob_send, we will never perform the launch (setting
jobdat->launch_msg_processed to 1).
I may try to solve the bug (this is quite a top priority problem for me),
but maybe people who are more familiar with orted than I am may propose a
nice and clean solution ...
For those who like real (and complete) gdb stacks, here they are :
