Thanks for finding r27212. It was about a year ago, and had clearly fallen out
of my cache (I have very little to do with the openib BTL these days).
Your solution isn't correct, because HAVE_IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET is defined
(nor not) via this m4 macro in config/ompi_check_openfabrics.m4:
AC_CHECK_DECLS([IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET],
[$1_have_rdmaoe=1], [],
[#include <infiniband/verbs.h>])
This m4 macro will #define HAVE_IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET if it exists, or #undef
that name if it doesn't.
Do you not see the check for IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET in your configure stdout?
The code in the oob CPC in question is:
-----
/* If we have the transport_type member, check to ensure we're on
IB (this CPC will not work with iWarp). If we do not have the
transport_type member, then we must be < OFED v1.2, and
therefore we must be IB. */
#if defined(HAVE_STRUCT_IBV_DEVICE_TRANSPORT_TYPE) &&
defined(HAVE_IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET)
if (BTL_OPENIB_CONNECT_BASE_CHECK_IF_NOT_IB(btl)) {
opal_output_verbose(5, ompi_btl_base_framework.framework_output,
"openib BTL: oob CPC only supported on InfiniBand;
skipped on %s:%d",
ibv_get_device_name(btl->device->ib_dev),
btl->port_num);
return OMPI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED;
}
#endif
----
So are you saying you have a libibverbs that does not have
IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET, but it *does* support iWARP?
If so, as the comment clearly states, that would violate the assumption of that
logic... But I'm not sure how that could happen.
