I have a question about BMI_mx_post_sendunexpected_list(). If I
understand it correctly, this is an unexpected message with more than
one buffer. If so, do other BMI methods copy the data into a single
buffer or in testunexpected on the receiver, do they malloc a
matching set of buffers?
You can read the IB version of that function. It's pretty
straightforward: linearize the send buffers as you ship it
across the wire to the receiver. It seems more complex to
send a list of buffers to the receiver and force him to
put it into his receive buffer, as the receiver doesn't care
how the sender had the data arranged in memory.

That makes sense. MX will send from an array of buffers into a
contiguous one. I will just need to make sure that the total length
is less than the unexpected max.
