Hi Eric,

Yes, UCX is supposed to be stable for large sized problems.
Did you see the same crash with both OMPI-4.0.3 + UCX 1.8.0 and OMPI-4.1.2 + 
UCX1.11.2?
Have you also tried to run large sized problems test with OMPI-5.0.x?
Regarding the application, at some point it invokes MPI_Alltoallv sending more 
than 2GB to some of the ranks (using derived dt), right?

Subject: [OMPI users] Segfault in ucp_dt_pack function from UCX library 1.8.0 
and 1.11.2 for large sized communications using both OpenMPI 4.0.3 and 4.1.2


Hi,

In the past, we have successfully launched large sized (finite elements) 
computations using PARMetis as mesh partitioner.

It was first in 2012 with OpenMPI (v2.?) and secondly in March 2019 with 
OpenMPI 3.1.2 that we succeeded.

Today, we have a bunch of nightly (small) tests running nicely and testing all 
of OpenMPI (4.0.x, 4.1.x and 5.0x), MPICH-3.3.2 and IntelMPI 2021.6.

Preparing for launching the same computation we did in 2012, and even larger 
ones, we compiled with bot OpenMPI 4.0.3+ucx-1.8.0 and OpenMPI 4.1.2+ucx-1.11.2 
and launched computation from small to large problems (meshes).

For small meshes, it goes fine.

But when we reach near 2^31 faces into the 3D mesh we are using and call 
ParMETIS_V3_PartMeshKway, we always get a segfault with the same backtrace 
pointing into ucx library:

I am then wondering:

1) Is UCX library considered "stable" for production use with very large sized 
problems ?

2) Is there a way to "bypass" UCX at runtime?

3) Any idea for debugging this?

Of course, I do not yet have a "minimum reproducer" that bugs, since it happens 
only on "large" problems, but I think I could export the data for a 512 
processes reproducer with PARMetis call only...

Thanks for helping,

Eric
