Gilles, You are correct that mpirun is executed on a node other than n15 or n16. So, your count to 5 makes sense. It does seem a bit excessive, but it should only occur when there is problem.
I have no MCA params file nor any MCA-related environment variables. So, there are no oob_tcp_if_{include,exclude} settings in force. The patch makes sense to me and appears to fix the problem. I'll address Ralph's concern about selected-vs-unselected interface separately. I still get the SEGV at exit, but that could very well be bit-rot in mtl/shm. I will investigate more if/when I have time. -Paul On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 8:26 PM, Gilles Gouaillardet < gilles.gouaillar...@iferc.org> wrote: > Paul, > > about the five warnings : > can you confirm you are running mpirun *not* on n15 nor n16 ? > if my guess is correct, then you can get up to 5 warnings : mpirun + 2 > orted + 2 mpi tasks > > do you have any oob_tcp_if_include or oob_tcp_if_exclude settings in your > openmpi-mca-params.conf ? > > here is attached a patch to fix this issue. > what we really want is test there is a loopback interface, period. > the current code (my bad for not having reviewed in a timely manner) seems > to check > there is a *selected* loopback interface. > > Cheers, > > Gilles > > > On 2014/12/12 13:15, Paul Hargrove wrote: > > Ralph, > > Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news. > The "good" news is I've seen the new warning regarding the lack of a > loopback interface. > The BAD news is that it is occurring on a Linux cluster that I'ver verified > DOES have 'lo' configured on the front-end and compute nodes (UP and > RUNNING according to ifconfig). > > Though run with "-np 2" the warning appears FIVE times. > ADDITIONALLY, there is a SEGV at exit! > > Unfortunately, despite configuring with --enable-debug, I didn't get line > numbers from the core (and there was no backtrace printed). > > All of this appears below (and no, "-mca mtl psm" is not a typo or a joke). > > Let me know what tracing flags to apply to gather the info needed to debug > this. > > -Paul > > > $ mpirun -mca btl sm,self -np 2 -host n15,n16 -mca mtl psm examples/ring_c > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WARNING: No loopback interface was found.
