Open MPI also now checks for 127.0.0.1/8 and skips them. This behavior will be included in the upcoming Open MPI v1.4.2 (possibly within a few weeks?) and Open MPI v1.5.0.
Two followup questions: 1. Is this now the recommended way to find all the IP interfaces that support RDMA: - loop over all local IP addresses - if 127.0.0.1/8, skip - try to rdma_bind_addr() - if it succeeds and verbs ptr is != NULL, it's an RDMA device (I believe Steve Wise proposed adding an API function to just return a list of IP addresses of RDMA devices a while back; it was rejected, which is why either we use the try-to-rdma_bind_addr() approach) 2. Before Sean backed out the localhost behavior, when you rdma_addr_bind(127.0.0.1), what did the id->verbs pointer correspond to?
