| # | Title | Author | Created (age) | Labels | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #11239 | ompi_mpi_instance_init_common needs to be local | hppritcha | 2022-12-22 (3y9m) | - | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (Dec 2022, hppritcha design issue)): ompi_mpi_instance_init_common still runs a global PMIx fence and add_procs (v5.0.x instance.c:602,762), so MPI_Session_init is not local. smsc cma/xpmem still use OPAL_MODEX_RECV_IMMEDIATE. |
| #11237 | MTT failure for spawn_multiple | rhc54 | 2022-12-22 (3y9m) | - | Needs check (rough pass; reported on main-202212220241-4d32d2d (IBM MTT)): The MTT spawn_multiple failure (children got the wrong app's argv) was never diagnosed. hppritcha (2025-02) linked it to the multi-namespace locality work in #13059, which closed unmerged. |
| #11235 | pmix error / libfrabric call failed on Fedora i686 with 5.0.0-rc9 | opoplawski | 2022-12-22 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v5.0.0rc9 (Fedora i686 COPR)): Error went away with --mca mtl ^ofi, so it was a libfabric i686 bug (ofiwg/libfabric#8375, closed). The remaining crash is tracked in #11065 (memory patcher mmap on i386). |
| #11229 | Hyphen is unnecessarily prepended to MCA param arguments | s417-lama | 2022-12-21 (3y9m) | - | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on main (Dec 2022)): PRRTE schizo_ompi now skips the two args after any *mca option, so values like '-p 2000' are left alone (fixed since v5.0.1). The mca_base_env_list case is by design. Fix: PRRTE 9072e6f62c 'Fix OMPI cmd line processing' (v3.0.3), first in OMPI v5.0.1 PRRTE pointer; v5.0.x now pins PRRTE v3.0.14. |
| #11207 | hwloc distance table | amirshehataornl | 2022-12-13 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on n/a (design idea)): 'Future consideration' idea for an object distance table with no owner. rhc54 said PMIx already provides distance info. |
| #11201 | HCOLL doesn't handle custom data types | giordano | 2022-12-12 (3y9m) | bug, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, HCOLL/ROMIO rule (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 + HCOLL 4.7 (A64FX)): Segfault inside libhcoll hcoll_create_mpi_type for a dup'd datatype. janjust confirmed it is an HCOLL problem. HCOLL rule applies (coll/hcoll removed in v6.0.0). |
| #11193 | Wrong received values when using 2 nodes and MPI_indexed datatype | Iasonaspg | 2022-12-12 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1/4.1.2/4.1.4 + UCX 1.11-1.13): Unreproduced pre-v5 report. bosilca could not reproduce on main with current UCX, and the reporter's version bisection was contradictory. Nothing since 2022-12-14. |
| #11184 | osc/ucx: optimizations | janjust | 2022-12-09 (3y9m) | enhancement, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on main/v5.0.x (enhancement by janjust)): Neither optimization is done. Ranges store only base/tail with no target rank, overlaps trigger a WORKER-scope flush, and the array is only reset as a whole (v5.0.x osc_ucx_comm.c:972,999,1028). |
| #11174 | OMPI fails to connect in a WAN setting | IanSaucy | 2022-12-07 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4): Cross-region AWS run where the daemons called back to a private IP. This is config: rhc54 gave oob_tcp_if_include/btl_tcp_if_include. The reporter didn't follow up. |
| #11168 | Hang at coll/adapt reduce with ucx | gkatev | 2022-12-07 (3y9m) | - | Keep (rough pass; reported on v5.0.0rc8 + UCX 1.13.1 (also main)): coll/adapt reduce deadlocks when sends need matching receives (UCX rendezvous) and the outstanding-request limits are small. Unfixed in v5.0.x. main only raised the ireduce segment size (4a72960050). |
| #11166 | Launch scaling issue: calling PMIx_Fence five times during MPI_Init/Finalize | rhc54 | 2022-12-07 (3y9m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (Dec 2022)): The duplicate modex/barrier fences are still there. v5.0.x instance.c:602 and :762 fence in init_common, then ompi_mpi_init.c:482 and :548 fence again. The fix #11305 was reverted. |
| #11165 | lustreapi.h is not useable | Tristan-Kosciuch | 2022-12-06 (3y9m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 with DDN Lustre 2.14.0-ddn54): configure fails because the DDN lustreapi.h redefines enum llapi_json_types, which lustre_user.h already defines. Vendor header bug, tracked in GoogleCloudPlatform/cluster-toolkit#768 (closed). |
| #11148 | mpirun can now invoke mpirun | rhc54 | 2022-12-05 (3y9m) | documentation, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on v5.0.x (feature note from rhc54)): Doc request: say that nested mpirun (mpirun calling mpirun) works in v5. Neither upstream/v5.0.x nor main docs mention it. |
| #11139 | [Q] MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE and multiple workers / endpoints | angainor | 2022-12-01 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on n/a (question)): Open-ended question about MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE per-thread endpoints. It got no replies and has no owner. |
| #11136 | A problem about hostfile | hust-qc | 2022-12-01 (3y9m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1): The default hostfile mixed repeated node lines and slots=N. The error text explains the fix, and rhc54 answered. This is a user config issue. |
| #11133 | Build failure with Intel compiler (main branch of open mpi) | MamziB | 2022-11-30 (3y9m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on main (Nov 2022) with Intel classic icc 2021.6): Intel classic icc treats enum-OR as error #188 under picky flags in PMIx. Resolved by --disable-devel-check or by switching to oneAPI icx/icpx (reporter confirmed). |
| #11129 | Segmentation fault using openmpi 4.1.2 | Huyuxi08 | 2022-11-30 (3y9m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2): Segfault stack is in Perl's signal handler inside the app (MAKER). jsquyres suspected an app bug, and the reporter only said they would try an upgrade. |
| #11123 | btl/sm-opal/shmem finalize order & shmem unlink error | gkatev | 2022-11-29 (3y9m) | - | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on main @4b39d07 (Nov 2022)): On main, btl/sm unlink/detach now runs from a finalize cleanup before the RTE and shmem teardown (PR #13261 + PR #14154). v5.0.x still does it in sm_finalize (btl_sm_module.c:367). Impact is low. Fix: PR #13261 (7a5a0dec7b, main-only, merged 2026-01-12) moves sm unlink/detach to an opal finalize cleanup; 1d4d1c24e9 (PR #14154 main, #14162 v6.0.x; v5.0.x backport #14163 open) fixes finalize domain ordering. |
| #11107 | List the available MPI variables in the documentation | cponder | 2022-11-23 (3y10m) | documentation, question | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on docs (v4.x website docs)): The v5 docs now list the runtime OMPI_COMM_WORLD_* vars (environment-var.rst) and wrapper env vars (OMPI_CC, OMPI_LDFLAGS...), and mca.rst explains OMPI_MCA_* envars. Request is largely met. Fix: docs/tuning-apps/environment-var.rst (added 2023-03, cd89acf95a) + docs/building-apps/customizing-wrappers.rst on v5.0.x. |
| #11098 | openmpi build error | Dcn303 | 2022-11-21 (3y10m) | question | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on Open MPI 1.4.4 (from a 2012 course PDF)): Build failed because the system lacks ar/binutils, on an ancient 1.4.4 tarball. This is a user environment problem, and jsquyres answered it. |
| #11087 | Hang in libucs on mpi_finalize | strocode | 2022-11-18 (3y10m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Needs check (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2rc2 (MOFED 5.5, HCOLL); 2025 repro on HPC-X OMPI 4.1.x + UCX 1.20): Intermittent finalize hang in opal_common_ucx_mca_pmix_fence. Root cause unknown (bosilca 2025-11). Only v4.1-based repros. HCOLL off avoided the original hang. Needs a v5.0.10+ repro. |
| #11065 | mmap failure on i686 during vader init | opoplawski | 2022-11-13 (3y10m) | - | Keep (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 (Fedora rawhide i686, glibc 2.36.9000)): memory/patcher falls back to syscall(SYS_mmap, 6 args), but on i386 SYS_mmap is old_mmap (takes a struct pointer), which gives EFAULT. Code unchanged in v5.0.x/main. |
| #11063 | Problems when running examples hello_c | shiwch | 2022-11-12 (3y10m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2): Warnings come from btl/openib on a RoCE port; openib was removed in v5.0.0, and using UCX (or --mca btl ^openib) avoids them. |
| #11047 | Cuda Managed Memory fails with cuMemcpyAsync | wckzhang | 2022-11-08 (3y10m) | - | Needs check (rough pass; reported on main (2022-11)): Unresolved root cause: v5.0.x accelerator_cuda.c:641 still does cuMemcpyAsync for all device copies incl. managed memory; needs osu_bw M M run with pml ob1. |
| #10969 | MTT failure on IBM | rhc54 | 2022-10-21 (3y11m) | bug, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on main and v5.0.x MTT (2022-10)): wenduwan checked MTT history (2024-05-16): ibm topology/distgraph1 now passes; companion #10295 closed the same day as passing. |
| #10962 | OSC header has outdated doxygen comments | wckzhang | 2022-10-21 (3y11m) | documentation | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (2022-10)): Doc request still valid: query_fn_t doxygen still documents only win/info/comm, not base/size/disp_unit/flavor (main osc.h:~105-126, v5.0.x osc.h:118). |
| #10955 | Processes can't communicate with infiniband on lsf cluster | dxyzx0 | 2022-10-19 (3y11m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4, LSF, ConnectX IB): System IB connectivity problem: ucx_perftest itself fails between nodes; jjhursey concluded it is IB/sysadmin configuration, not Open MPI or LSF. |
| #10947 | Reduction latency variation with coll/tuned | devreal | 2022-10-18 (3y11m) | Target: main | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (2022-10)): Attempted fix (#11023, 'Fixes #10947') was reverted days after merging; v5.0.x barrier decision still flips tree/bruck at 512/1024/4096 (coll_tuned_decision_fixed.c ~464-500). |
| #10940 | PMIX ERROR: NOT-FOUND in file ptl_usock.c at line 175 , fails when running 2 cmds inside bash script | karanveersingh5623 | 2022-10-18 (3y11m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 (Bright CM), Slurm pmix_v3, pyxis container): Running two MPI programs sequentially inside one srun task: the second MPI_Init cannot reconnect to Slurm's PMIx server (ptl_usock NOT-FOUND); usage, not OMPI. |
| #10926 | Connect to the wrong network interface using Slurm | BDHU | 2022-10-14 (3y11m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4, Slurm srun --mpi=pmix): Usage/config: btl/tcp uses all interfaces incl. docker0; fix is btl_tcp_if_include/exclude, as ggouaillardet answered (2023-12-31). |
| #10908 | OFI BTL/MTL and efficacy of disable setting | jtfrey | 2022-10-10 (3y11m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1, v4.1.2 with libfabric 1.9/1.13, Omni-Path PSM2): libfabric psm2 provider force-sets PSM2_MULTI_EP=1 regardless of OMPI SEP params; double hardware contexts from BTL+MTL is dup of #9575, since closed with domain sharing in v5.0.10. |
| #10871 | silent performance degradation when cuda_ipc is not possible | BenWibking | 2022-09-29 (3y11m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 + UCX 1.12.1): Silent fallback when UCX cuda_ipc cannot be used (per-rank CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES, managed memory) is UCX transport behavior; warning/MPIX query is an ownerless wish. |
| #10868 | Check to avoid duplicate sorting of arrays passed to PMIx | rhc54 | 2022-09-29 (3y11m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on main (2022-09), PMIx >= 4.2.2): FYI from rhc54, not a bug: optional removal of OMPI-side sort; still needed because v5.0.x/main accept PMIx >= 4.2.0 (VERSION pmix_min_version=4.2.0). |
| #10860 | MCA_MTL_BASE_FLAG_ACCELERATOR_INIT_DISABLE does not work with non contiguous buffers | wckzhang | 2022-09-27 (4y) | - | Needs check (rough pass; reported on main (2022-09)): v5.0.x pml_cm_request.h:61-67 only sets CONVERTOR_SKIP_ACCELERATOR_INIT for contiguous layouts, which seems to avoid the described failure; needs a test to confirm. |
| #10841 | Device vendor ID: 0x02c9, part ID: 4123, WARNING: No preset parameters were found for the device that Open MPI detected | LinuxPersonEC | 2022-09-23 (4y) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1, ConnectX-6): Warning comes from btl/openib device-params ini and segfault from forcing openib; openib is removed in v5.0.0; advice was to use pml ucx with btl ^openib. |
| #10759 | Collective CUDA operations have dangerous pointer operation that could corrupt memory | qkoziol | 2022-09-02 (4y) | - | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (2022-09)): Staging copies use raw memcpy of span bytes from sbuf/rbuf, not sbuf+gap, so any datatype with true_lb != 0 copies the wrong bytes (v5.0.x coll_cuda_allreduce.c:55-57,70-82). |
| #10740 | Fortran Neighbor_Alltoallw fails with MPI_ERR_TYPE: invalid datatype |
SpinTensor | 2022-09-01 (4y) | - | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on v4.0.3 and v5.0.x (2022-09)): Fortran binding sized the datatype arrays by comm size instead of topology in/out degree (6 neighbors, 4 ranks); fixed in v5.0.11 by the neighbor-count rework. Fix: PR #13802 (main, merged 2026-04-07), #13829 (v6.0.x), #13832 (v5.0.x, merged 2026-05-05, in v5.0.11); fixes #13790. |
| #10735 | [Question] ORTE daemon behavior on non-leader machines | satishpasumarthi | 2022-08-31 (4y) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1): Questions about orted lifetime and ssh tree spawn in ORTE, answered at length by rhc54 and jsquyres; ORTE no longer exists in v5 (PRRTE). |
| #10732 | Regression when HOME is not set | haampie | 2022-08-30 (4y) | - | Keep (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 and main (2022-08)): Still present: mca_base_var_init returns OPAL_ERROR when HOME is unset (v5.0.x opal/mca/base/mca_base_var.c:271-275, main :273-277), breaking env -i builds. |
| #10730 | Try to install mpi4py+openmpi using conda on Ubuntu 20.04 but failed | shuheng-mo | 2022-08-30 (4y) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on conda-forge openmpi (version unspecified), Ubuntu 20.04): conda-forge environment problem (opal_shmem_base_select failed, Anaconda install); reporter switched to pip, maintainer could not reproduce with miniconda. |
| #10726 | MPI_Win_create fails with -np 1 | ximtec | 2022-08-29 (4y) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 + UCX 1.12/1.13): osc/rdma MPI_Win_create with -np 1 fails only on v4.1.x; devreal could not reproduce on v5.0.x or main (v5 osc/rdma has alternate-BTL support). |
| #10718 | HCOLL fails to save coll handlers and ends in Segfault when used with HAN | devreal | 2022-08-25 (4y1m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, HCOLL/ROMIO rule (rough pass; reported on main and v5.0.x (2022-08)): HCOLL fails to save coll handlers under HAN and segfaults; HCOLL issues close as not planned per policy (coll/hcoll removed in v6.0.0). |
| #10717 | Question about how OMPI handles OFI HMEM and completion semantics | mwheinz | 2022-08-25 (4y1m) | question | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on main/v4.1.x design question (OFI MTL/BTL)): Question answered in full by bwbarrett and jdinan (SYNC_MEMOPS vs flush semantics, GDR rules); reporter thanked them. v5 now sets SYNC_MEMOPS on registered GPU memory. Fix: dc36f24dd7 (opal/accelerator get_buffer_id sets SYNC_MEMOPS on GPU registrations, in v5.0.0). |
| #10687 | UCX Error: failed to parse address: number of ep addresses exceeds 6 | omor1 | 2022-08-18 (4y1m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 + UCX 1.13.0): Intermittent corrupted UCX worker address under MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE coincides with v4.1.x-only opal pmix_base_hash/opal_dss errors; that layer is gone in v5 (direct PMIx_Get). |
| #10678 | perf: hcoll: mpi_get_accumulate test slows down in mpi_win_fence when hcoll is enabled | AboorvaDevarajan | 2022-08-17 (4y1m) | - | Close candidate, HCOLL/ROMIO rule (rough pass; reported on main (2022-08), MLNX_OFED 5.0): HCOLL performance issue (hcoll barrier in MPI_Win_fence 10x slower); HCOLL issues close as not planned per policy, coll/hcoll removed in v6.0.0. |
| #10651 | MPI_Comm_spawn() giving unreachable errors across nodes | hughed2 | 2022-08-11 (4y1m) | - | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.0.4 (btl openib, ORTE)): v4.0.4 MPI_Comm_spawn across nodes failing in ORTE dpm with openib/tcp BTLs; ORTE and openib are gone in v5, v4.0.x retired, no follow-up. |
| #10649 | The mpirun - N 20 program was run 20 times with one command | hwmmm1 | 2022-08-11 (4y1m) | question | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v1.10.7): Classic mpirun/libmpi mismatch on Open MPI 1.10.7 (every rank runs as singleton); usage issue on an ancient release, reporter went silent. |
| #10639 | osc/ucx: internal error in MPI_Get (resource temporarily unavailable) | s417-lama | 2022-08-09 (4y1m) | Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v5.0.0rc7, UCX (MLNX_OFED exp verbs), CentOS 7 kernel 3.10): Failure is UCX ibv_exp_reg_mr returning EAGAIN while registering the local get buffer (legacy MLNX_OFED experimental verbs); a UCX/driver resource issue, not OMPI logic. |
| #10601 | An error occurred in MPI_Init (seems the network initialization has some bugs) | JiajunHuang1999 | 2022-07-23 (4y2m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4, Slurm 17.11, Omni-Path PSM2): HFI context exhaustion on Omni-Path (PSM2 assign_context busy); Cornelis owner moved it to Cornelis support; site/fabric specific. |
| #10573 | MPI-RMA - performance issues with MPI_Get |
thomasgillis | 2022-07-16 (4y2m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 (Cray ugni), v4.1.4 + UCX 1.12.1): Performance question; IB part resolved by site support; remaining Cray ugni case is on retired hardware (btl/ugni removed on main/v6.0.x). |
| #10572 | Add generic MPI pkgconfig descriptors | eschnett | 2022-07-16 (4y2m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on n/a (feature request)): Request for generic mpi-c.pc names was pushed back by maintainers (ggouaillardet, jsquyres) in favor of CMake looking for ompi-*.pc; no owner. |
| #10560 | Make --enable-wrapper-rpath --disable-wrapper-runpath pass -Wl,--disable-new-dtags when supported |
haampie | 2022-07-12 (4y2m) | question, Target: v4.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4): No --disable-new-dtags logic exists in config/ on upstream/v5.0.x or main; jsquyres' 6-case proposal was never implemented. |
| #10559 | osc/ucx: MPI_Win_flush sometimes hangs on intra-node | s417-lama | 2022-07-12 (4y2m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Needs check (rough pass; reported on v5.0.0rc7, UCX 1.11.0/1.12.1): Intermittent MPI_Win_flush hang with two windows on v5.0.0rc7; osc/ucx worker handling was reworked before v5.0.0 but nobody retested. |
| #10550 | Sigbus in UCX call inside opal_common_ucx_del_procs_nofence | devreal | 2022-07-11 (4y2m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on main (2022-07), UCX 1.12.0): SIGBUS is raised inside UCX mm transport (uct_mm_ep_flush) during ep close; UCX_TLS=^sm avoids it; typical of /dev/shm or UCX issues. |
| #10535 | A process or daemon was unable to complete a TCP connection | yangbinma | 2022-06-29 (4y2m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2rc4): Network/config problem launching orted (HNP URI advertised only 127.0.0.1); distro build works on same hosts; ORTE is gone in v5. |
| #10526 | Unify integer constants between mpi.h and the Fortran interfaces | jsquyres | 2022-06-28 (4y3m) | enhancement, code cleanup, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on v5.0.x / main design): Constants still duplicated: e.g. MPI_ERR_ERRHANDLER hard-coded in upstream/main ompi/include/mpi.h.in:775 and mpif-values.py:305. |
| #10523 | coll/tuned: Three bcast algorithms fail when mixing contig and noncontig dtypes | awlauria | 2022-06-28 (4y3m) | Target: main, Target: v4.0.x, Target: v5.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on main / v4.x / v5.0.x (2022)): Reproducer is erroneous: root bcasts 6 long longs while receivers post 12 (resized type), a type-signature mismatch; count-splitting algorithms rightly diverge. |
| #10522 | btl/uct not compatible with AM RDMA? | devreal | 2022-06-28 (4y3m) | bug, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on main (2022-06), UCX 1.11.2): btl/uct AM handler still passes endpoint=NULL, so AM-RDMA fallback aborts (upstream/v5.0.x btl_uct_component.c:319, main :238). |
| #10484 | Missing libucm with static build | devreal | 2022-06-18 (4y3m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on main (2022-06), UCX 1.11.2): Missing -lucm came from UCX 1.11/1.12 ucx.pc (Libs: -lucs -luct -lucp); UCX 1.13+ ucx-ucs.pc adds -lucm. Fallback in OMPI already lists -lucm. |
| #10481 | Documentation: v5.0.x man page items | jsquyres | 2022-06-17 (4y3m) | documentation, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Tracking list (rough pass; reported on v5.0.x docs (2022)): Docs polish to-do list; items appear largely not done (e.g. no locked-memory limits doc, plain See the ... section text remains). |
| #10474 | Point to point protocols sometimes take a long time to complete | frizwi | 2022-06-16 (4y3m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 + UCX): Application communication-pattern and OS-noise performance question; answered in detail by bosilca; no Open MPI defect identified. |
| #10459 | List of issues with OMPI master+ULT+PartCom | janciesko | 2022-06-08 (4y3m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Tracking list (rough pass; reported on main / v5.0.0 pre-release): ULT tracking list: 4 of 6 items checked done (configury, mutex backend in v5.0.0); open: partcomm unequal-partition deadlock (unverified) and ULT CI coverage. |
| #10454 | pkg-config and PMIx potential conflict | tonycurtis | 2022-06-07 (4y3m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4 (internal PMIx)): v4.1.x embedded pmix3x installs pmix.pc unconditionally although embedded mode installs no PMIx headers/libs; v5 installs internal PMIx fully. |
| #10453 | ompi 4.1.4 fails to compile in oshmem/mca/spml/ikrit/spml_ikrit.c:513:36: error: too few arguments to function ‘memheap_find_segnum’ | torehl | 2022-06-07 (4y3m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.4): Build break in spml/ikrit (MXM) only; ikrit/MXM removed in v5.0.x (only spml/ucx remains). Workaround: drop --with-mxm. |
| #10436 | UCX issues with ibv_fork_init() and Open MPI 4.1.x | mkre | 2022-05-30 (4y3m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2): Verbs fork-init ordering conflict between libfabric verbs (btl/ofi) and UCX; workaround -mca btl ^ofi accepted; open-ended design wish with no owner. |
| #10418 | Possible heap-use-after-free reported by AddressSanitizer inside PMPI_Init call | dqwu | 2022-05-23 (4y4m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.3 (spack, Slurm PMI2 via --with-pmi)): Use-after-free in opal_pmix_base_partial_commit_packed (s1/s2 PMI path) exists only in v4.1.x; function absent from v5.0.x and main. |
| #10417 | Is there any Scientific or Engineering Application dominated by the performance of LARGE message MPI_Allreduce? | pengjintao | 2022-05-22 (4y4m) | question | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.3): Research question (which apps are dominated by large-message Allreduce); not an Open MPI defect, answered by maintainers. |
| #10410 | v4.1: UCX onesided crash (ibm/onesided/1sided) |
jjhursey | 2022-05-18 (4y4m) | Target: v4.1.x | Needs check (rough pass; reported on v4.1.x branch (0987319a4a), UCX 1.11.2, ppc64le): v4.1.x MTT crash in osc/ucx fence/accumulate with old UCX 1.11.2, no follow-up; v5 osc/ucx was heavily rewritten. Needs a rerun on current v4.1.x/v5.0.x. |
| #10402 | ompi_info_t does not follow OMPI object semantics | devreal | 2022-05-17 (4y4m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on master-2022, v5.0.x): the user-facing bug was fixed by #10349 (main) and #10420 (v5.0.x), but devreal kept this open for the design problem: ompi_info_t is an opal object, yet it must be created with ompi_info_allocate() so the instance is retained and released. That split is unchanged: ompi_info_allocate() still calls ompi_mpi_instance_retain() (ompi/info/info.c:405 on v5.0.x, :410 on main). |
| #10389 | Return error from node failure | hatmer | 2022-05-15 (4y4m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v5.0.0rc7): Missing help text was a PRRTE bug (fixed); remaining ask is ULFM fault reporting through RMA, which v5 explicitly warns is untested for osc/rdma. |
| #10377 | Fortran configure warnings and build errors with nvidia fortran compiler | Akshay-Venkatesh | 2022-05-12 (4y4m) | Target: v4.1.x | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on v4.1.3, v4.1.4 (NVHPC 22.x)): Real nvfortran libtool gap fixed in v5.0.6/v4.1.7 (autogen.pl patch); libevent errors came from CC=nvcc (usage) and Fortran size warnings are benign. Fix: nvfortran libtool/-fPIC patch: PR #12722 (main, 2024-10-23), #12879 (v5.0.x, first tag v5.0.6), #12878 (v4.1.x, first tag v4.1.7); not linked to this issue. |
| #10374 | --prefix is not properly propagated to 3rd party libraries | bosilca | 2022-05-12 (4y4m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Needs check (rough pass; reported on main (fa08eac79bc, 2022-05), macOS M1): Likely generic autotools behavior (libevent dylibs not relinked after --prefix change without make clean); needs a rebuild test on macOS to confirm. |
| #10356 | Latest conda-forge build of 4.1.3 for Linux makes cudatoolkit an indirect dependency | wm75 | 2022-05-05 (4y4m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.3 (conda-forge build)): conda-forge packaging choice (ucx as hard dependency pulling cudatoolkit); Open MPI does not control the feedstock. |
| #10313 | Segfault in MPI_Finalize if MPI_Barrier isn't called first. | dschulzg | 2022-04-22 (4y5m) | Target: v4.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.1, v4.1.3): Segfault in btl/openib (ibv_create_comp_channel) during MPI_Finalize; --mca btl ^openib fixed it; openib removed in v5.0.0. |
| #10307 | OMPI v4.x fails when built against PMIx v5 | rhc54 | 2022-04-21 (4y5m) | Target: v4.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.0.x, v4.1.x (4.1.5, 4.1.6rc2) with PMIx v5): OMPI v4.x pmix3x/ext integration with external PMIx v5 (opal/mca/pmix) is v4-only code; v5 calls PMIx directly; partial fix 6e8e14f2c2 in v4.1.6. |
| #10303 | Unnormal Performance of MPI_Irecv() | nfsp3k | 2022-04-21 (4y5m) | Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2rc4 (NVIDIA HPC-X, UCX)): GPUDirect RDMA bandwidth asymmetry explained by bureddy as PCIe topology and read-vs-write limits (UCX/hardware); reporter thanked; no OMPI defect. |
| #10297 | mca_io_ompio_file_write_at_all() failed during parallel write of PnetCDF lib | dqwu | 2022-04-19 (4y5m) | Target: v4.1.x | Needs check (rough pass; reported on v4.1.3): OMPIO write_at_all failure at 512 ranks never root-caused; io=^ompio workaround; rerun the scorpio pioperf_rearr 512-rank test on v5.0.x with OMPIO. |
| #10261 | Mpi4.1.0 How to check what algorithm was allreduce used？and why “intercomm, comm is too small, or not all peers local; disqualifying myself” | pipihuang1998 | 2022-04-12 (4y5m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2): Usage question about coll selection output; bosilca explained sm disqualification and priority order; no bug. |
| #10259 | Make ompi_mpi_java_eager MCA var show up in ompi_info | jsquyres | 2022-04-11 (4y5m) | java bindings | Keep (rough pass; reported on all releases with Java bindings): ompi_mpi_java_eager still registered only inside libmpi_java at Java MPI.Init (v5.0.x ompi/mpi/java/c/mpi_MPI.c:278), so ompi_info cannot show it; Java removed on main (#13977). |
| #10251 | Calling python script with mpirun within a pytest does not work | RCagnol | 2022-04-08 (4y5m) | question | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.0.3): The pytest process already had singleton OMPI_/PMIX_ env vars (MPI initialized in-process), so nested mpirun failed; user environment issue on v4.0.3. |
| #10245 | Default mpirun behavior for Java apps incorrect if PRTE libdir != OMPI libdir | jsquyres | 2022-04-08 (4y5m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x, State-Awaiting developer information | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on main/v5.0.x (2022)): OMPI mpirun now exports OMPI_LIBDIR_LOC and PRRTE schizo/ompi uses it for mpi.jar and java.library.path (in v5.0.0 via #10701); janjust's #10246 guess is wrong. Fix: PR #10701 (main, merged 2022-08-23; aa2ec34a4e in v5.0.0) + PRRTE 75511d4890 (v3.0.x 0eb96a3f83, in PRRTE v3.0.0). |

| #10152 | opal_path_nfs test fails with (timed-out) autofs mount | gkatev | 2022-03-22 (4y6m) | - | Keep (reported on 2022 master/v5 era): opal_path_nfs test trusts mount output; an autofs entry for a real NFS path causes a false failure. Also tracks #628 (chroot/mock case, closed as duplicate 2026-09-28). Fix for both: in get_mounts(), skip entries whose mount fs type disagrees with statfs(); skipping autofs alone fixes only this case. |

It is also a usage issue: the container's Open MPI has no HCOLL, so SHARP (which is enabled through HCOLL) cannot be used inside it. |

| #10026 | armci-mpi fails in multi-node execution with openmpi | drew-parsons | 2022-02-18 (4y7m) | - | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 (Debian) + UCX 1.12, 100G Ethernet): Window creation fails over TCP in the v4.1.x osc stack. v5.0.x removed osc/pt2pt, and osc/rdma now uses alternate BTLs (tcp via AM RDMA). Never retested on v5. |
| #10017 | MPI_Datatype definitions cannot be used in constexpr statements | bangerth | 2022-02-16 (4y7m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.x headers (distro packages), C++ user code): Not a bug: the MPI standard only guarantees link-time constants for handles, and constexpr would need an ABI change. This is a wish for the MPI Forum C++ discussion. |
| #9988 | Warnings on master branch: vprotocol | rhc54 | 2022-02-08 (4y7m) | - | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on master (Feb 2022, macOS clang)): typeof() in PREPARE_REQUESTS_WITH_NO_FREE was replaced by size_t on main (PR #12660). v5.0.x still has typeof at vprotocol_pessimist_wait.c:23, but it only causes a warning. Fix: eaea24fc10 'Require C11' (PR #12660, main, merged 2025-01-14), main/v6.0.x only. |
| #9983 | Warnings in master branch: src area | rhc54 | 2022-02-07 (4y7m) | Severity: minor, Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Close candidate, HCOLL/ROMIO rule (rough pass; reported on master (Feb 2022, gcc 8.5)): ROMIO rule: the warnings are in upstream ROMIO/MPL code and awlauria said they need an upstream ROMIO update. ROMIO is removed in v6.0.0 (#13119). |
| #9957 | OpenMPI + UCX fails in MPI_Win_post and works with MPI_fence | thomasgillis | 2022-02-02 (4y7m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 + UCX 1.11.2 (IB, old rdma-core)): The failure is a UCX-internal assertion (ucp_ep flush state during UD wireup) on old drivers and was never reproduced. osc/ucx PSCW was reworked for v5.0.0 (PR #10126/#10138). |
| #9950 | mca_btl_smcuda.super.btl_cuda_eager_limit missing OPAL_CUDA_GDR_SUPPORT protection | akesandgren | 2022-02-01 (4y7m) | - | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on master (2022-02-01)): The reporter's own PR #10311 'Add missing #if OPAL_CUDA_GDR_SUPPORT protection' covers all three reported spots. The guards are present on v5.0.x and main. Fix: f9ad7bf2b0 (PR #10311, main, merged 2022-04-26) + ba44932f21 via PR #11326 (v5.0.x, merged 2023-01-20), first in v5.0.0. |

ORTE is gone in v5. |
| #9912 | Errors ignored in ft com_ft_detector code | bwbarrett | 2022-01-24 (4y8m) | Target: main | Keep (rough pass; reported on master (Jan 2022)): fd_progress still ignores the return codes of the PML irecv and of request cancel/wait. The warning was silenced, not fixed (comm_ft_detector.c:583-608 on v5.0.x). |
| #9905 | System call failure: unlink during MPI_Finalize() | afborchert | 2022-01-21 (4y8m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Close candidate, code not in v5.0.x+ (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2, v4.1.4 (Solaris 11.4); also macOS v4.1.2 (TMPDIR)): The double unlink came from ORTE ess/pmi registering the job session dir for PMIx epilog cleanup (v4.1.x only). v5 registers only the per-proc sm file. v5 finalize order is tracked in #11123. |
| #9885 | UCC initialization fails at mca_coll_ucc_save_coll_handlers(), when under HAN | gkatev | 2022-01-18 (4y8m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on v5.0.x pre-release 9605bed + UCC master): save_coll_handlers no longer fails on a NULL previous handler: v5.0.7 falls through (6c0f36cf9a), and main uses MCA_COLL_SAVE_API after the #12429 coll init rework. Fix: PR #10544 (main, 2022-08-30) + 4a4b97c610 via PR #10753 (v5.0.x, v5.0.0) for the follow-on crash; 6c0f36cf9a via PR #13071 (v5.0.x, 2025-02-05, v5.0.7) and f2dfbba1f2 via PR #12429 (main, 2024-05-01) remove the failure. |
| #9883 | coll/han: dynamic selection does not work for simple algorithms | mkurnosov | 2022-01-17 (4y8m) | Target: main | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on master 9704f0f (Jan 2022)): #10456 changed the simple-algorithm sub-comm preference from '^han' to 'han' with a topo level, so HAN's dynamic selector now applies coll_han_dynamic_module on sub-comms. Fix: PR #10456 (main, merged 2022-09-29) + fc40853b80 via PR #11043 (v5.0.x, merged 2022-11-22), first in v5.0.0. |

The conftest.dSYM lines are harmless macOS noise. Fix: 9bf920e122 (PR #11449, main, merged 2023-02-28) + dad424056d (PR #11453, v5.0.x, merged 2023-02-28), first in v5.0.0 (rc11). |
| #9858 | How do I use OpenMpi in AWS EFA | chenshixinnb | 2022-01-11 (4y8m) | question, Target: v4.0.x | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.0.5 (EasyBuild) on AWS EFA): Usage/build issue: OMPI was built without libfabric. After rebuilding with --with-ofi, EFA was selected. The remaining multinode failure on retired v4.0.5 was never reproduced. |
| #9845 | CUDA-aware Ireduce and Iallreduce operations for GPU tensors segfault | jmerizia | 2022-01-07 (4y8m) | question, Target: v4.1.x | Keep (rough pass; reported on v4.0.7, v4.1.0-v4.1.2 (CUDA-aware build)): Ireduce/Iallreduce on device buffers still fall to libnbc, which runs host ompi_op_reduce on GPU memory; coll/cuda (v5.0.x) and coll/accelerator (main) do not cover them. |
| #9838 | [openmpi-4.1.2] No components were able to be opened in the pml framework | Honggang-LI | 2022-01-05 (4y8m) | - | Close candidate, not an Open MPI defect (rough pass; reported on v4.1.2 (RHEL 8 package) + UCX 1.11.2): Intended behavior: pml/ucx only enables itself on mlx devices by default; reporter forced pml ucx on OPA/irdma/bnxt_re. Configuration issue, not a bug. |
| #9828 | Fix non-standard use of C99 flexible array in opal/mca/btl/base/btl_base_am_rdma.c | jsquyres | 2022-01-03 (4y8m) | bug, Severity: minor, code cleanup | Likely fixed, no linked fix (rough pass; reported on master (Jan 2022)): Commit 'btl/am-rdma: Clean up warnings' removed the unused flexible array member that made the embedded header invalid C11; not linked to the issue. Fix: bf75faf1fd (PR #9903, master, merged 2022-01-24) + backport 4d11582ef5 (PR #9935, v5.0.x, merged 2022-01-31), first in v5.0.0. |

| #9722 | Add simple opal atomic store/load? | gkatev | 2021-12-03 (4y9m) | - | Keep (master-2021): request for relaxed opal_atomic_load/store helpers. None exist on v5.0.x, main or v6.0.x, but coll/xhc (#11418) and coll/acoll now carry their own wrappers waiting for them, so the 'no in-tree use case' objection no longer holds. Status comment posted. |

Test: persistent send/recv stress on a debug v5.0.x build across nodes. |
| #9479 | openMPI 4.1 + UCX 1.11 OMPIO hangs writing shared file on Lustre | denisbertini | 2021-10-06 (4y11m) | - | Needs check (4.1.x with UCX 1.11/1.13): OMPIO MPI_File_write_all hangs or runs 10x slower than ROMIO on Lustre 2.12. OMPIO is still the default on v5.0.x; never retested. Test: BTIO or write_at_all on Lustre with v5.0.x, OMPIO vs ROMIO. |
| #9307 | Lazy intialization of frameworks is not thread safe | nysal | 2021-08-24 (5y1m) | - | Keep (master-2021): lazy framework initialization is not thread-safe; the topo lazy init is still unsynchronized on v5.0.x and main. |

No UCX issue filed; no activity since 2021-08. Held open pending a decision. |
| #9062 | Large message collective performance drops when using coll/han | hjelmn | 2021-06-14 (5y3m) | performance | Needs check (reported on 4.1.1): large-message (256K-1M) collectives much slower with coll/han than with tuned. HAN is the default on v5 (priority 35). Test: osu_allreduce on v5.0.x, defaults vs --mca coll ^han. |
| #9051 | Memory Leak using Cuda-Aware MPI_Send and MPI_Recv for large packets of data | geohussain | 2021-06-08 (5y3m) | question, Target: v4.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Keep (4.0.5; reproduced again on 5.0.5 with UCX master in 2024): GPU memory grows with CUDA-aware Send/Recv of large buffers. Root cause is the UCX cuda_ipc cache keeping freed peer buffers mapped; workaround UCX_CUDA_IPC_CACHE=n. UCX 1.21 added UCX_CUDA_IPC_CACHE_MAX_REGIONS/MAX_SIZE (default unlimited). Related open #12849 and #12971. |
| #9050 | OMPI_{CC,CXX}=mpi{cc,cxx} is a fork-bomb | PHHargrove | 2021-06-08 (5y3m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.0.5): OMPI_CC=mpicc makes mpicc exec itself recursively (fork bomb) on v5.0.x and main; opal_wrapper has no recursion guard. Cheap hardening. |
| #9022 | Need a way to disable use of -mcx16 compile flag | opoplawski | 2021-05-30 (5y3m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.1.1): configure still adds -mcx16 to the global CFLAGS on x86_64 with no opt-out; the proposed --disable-cx16-atomics PR #9023 was closed unmerged. |
| #9021 | Failures on MPICH tests (large_count, structpack2, struct_no_real_types, get_elements_pairtype, indexed_misc) | karasevb | 2021-05-30 (5y3m) | Target: main, Target: v4.0.x, Target: v5.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Keep (master-2021, 4.1.x): MPICH datatype tests large_count, struct_no_real_types and get_elements_pairtype were confirmed failing on master (2022); no fix found. |
| #8982 | btl/tcp: Assert with MPI_Sendrecv() | awlauria | 2021-05-19 (5y4m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x, Target: v4.1.x | Needs check (master-2021, 4.1.x): assert(endpoint_sd_next == -1) in mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_accept is still in btl_tcp_endpoint.c on v5.0.x; seen only in IBM MTT (ibm/random/alloc_mem over tcp), never reproduced. main has connection-race fixes (d5919501db, a1616b1da1) that v5.0.x lacks. Test: loop alloc_mem on a debug v5.0.x build. |
| #8820 | Building of openmpi rpm hits issue with python scripts in 3rd-party modules | acgoldma | 2021-04-15 (5y5m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (reported on 5.0.0a1): the bundled libevent event_rpcgen.py still has a '#!/usr/bin/env python' shebang and is installed to bin, which breaks RHEL/Fedora RPM builds. |
| #8720 | Derived types with CUDA-Aware MPI | ShatrovOA | 2021-03-26 (5y6m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.0.5, NVHPC 21.2): non-contiguous datatypes on GPU buffers are still packed with one accelerator memcpy per contiguous block on v5.0.x, so derived types on device memory are very slow. |
| #8467 | Compiling with AOCC (Clang-9) | adrianjhpc | 2021-02-09 (5y7m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.1.0, Cray ftn wrapping AOCC flang): libtool left wl empty for ftn. Tarballs are still built with Libtool 2.4.6, and the autogen.pl flang patch (6f8010c685) matches only flang, not ftn; Libtool 2.5.1 added ftn. Fix: add ftn to the autogen.pl patch or build tarballs with Libtool 2.5.1+. Status comment drafted, not posted. |
| #8439 | Detect (and ignore) stale Open MPI components | jsquyres | 2021-02-02 (5y7m) | enhancement | Keep (RFC, master-2021): detect and ignore stale component DSOs left by an older install. v5.0.x mca_base_component_repository.c still compares only the MCA version (2.1), with a TODO for a project-version check. Since v5.0.0 most components are static, so same-name stale DSOs are skipped, but DSOs of components that exist only in older releases still load. Status comment posted; cross-linked with #14299 and #475. |
| #8334 | AVX-based MPI_OP performance regression | rajachan | 2021-01-04 (5y8m) | Target: v4.1.x | Needs check (reported on 4.1.0): op/avx still enables AVX512 by default on v5.0.x; the ~20% LAMMPS slowdown on Skylake with gcc was never root-caused. PR #8376 (AVX512 off by default) closed unmerged. Test: LAMMPS on Skylake with v5.0.x, default op_avx_support vs 0x3f. |

| #8098 | BTL UCT got active message id 26, but no handler installed | abouteiller | 2020-10-17 (5y11m) | bug, Target: main | Needs check (reported on master-2020): btl/uct only registers AM ids 0x0d (MCA_BTL_UCT_FRAG) and 0x0e (MCA_BTL_UCT_CONNECT_RDMA) (v5.0.x opal/mca/btl/uct/btl_uct_types.h:32-34, same on main). Ids 24-28 are never valid. In each dump, the reported id equals the low 5 bits of the byte just before the payload in the repeating data pattern (0x58->24, 0x1c->28, 0x9b->27). So UCX received raw application data with no UCT header, which points to a corrupted or misrouted send rather than a missing registration. One relevant v5.0.x difference: the context-0 FRAG handler is registered with UCT_CB_FLAG_ASYNC (btl_uct_tl.c:473-474) on a UCS_THREAD_MODE_SINGLE worker (btl_uct_tl.c:327). mca_btl_uct_am_handler (btl_uct_component.c:310) calls into ob1, which may post sends. main/v6.0.x registers every FRAG handler with MCA_BTL_UCT_CB_FLAG_SYNC (btl_uct_device_context.c:60-61, via 112b4f813b/PR #13335) and also has endpoint race fixes (f99cbcd172, 2a128b1ec6, d586292e60) that are not on v5.0.x. I cannot run it, so I have not shown that any of these is the cause. |
| #8010 | reduce_scatter and reduce_scatter_block algorithms incorrectly handling noncommutative ops | wckzhang | 2020-08-18 (6y1m) | bug, Target: v4.1.x | Duplicate of #7765 (pending decision) (reported on 4.1.x-2020): Default selection is fixed: 57b95bcb45 (first in v5.0.0, also on v4.1.x) makes the fixed rules use non-overlapping for RS and basic_linear for RSB with non-commutative ops (coll_tuned_decision_fixed.c:853 and :999 on v5.0.x, :1121 and :1268 on main). The remaining failures only occur when an algorithm is forced or chosen from a rules file. coll_tuned_reduce_scatter_decision.c:135-145 and coll_tuned_reduce_scatter_block_decision.c:128-138 still dispatch RS 2/3/4 and RSB 2/4 without a commutativity check. That is the root cause tracked in #7765. RS 2/3 are documented commutative-only (coll_base_reduce_scatter.c:129,409). RS 4 butterfly and RSB 2/4 claim non-commutative support in their headers but failed the ibm nocommute_stride tests. Whether those three have a real ordering bug could not be decided from source without running the tests. |
| #7958 | Undefined behaviour reported by clang UBSan in pml_ob1_hdr.h | cniethammer | 2020-07-22 (6y2m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (reported on master-2020): mca_pml_ob1_rdma_btls() leaves reg_handle = NULL for BTLs without btl_register_mem (ompi/mca/pml/ob1/pml_ob1_rdma.c on v5.0.x, loop around the if (btl->btl_register_mem) block). mca_pml_ob1_send_request_start_rdma() then passes that NULL handle with reg_size = btl_registration_handle_size (0) to mca_pml_ob1_rget_hdr_prepare (pml_ob1_sendreq.c:902 v5.0.x, :903 main), which does an unguarded memcpy(hdr + 1, local_handle, local_handle_size) (pml_ob1_hdr.h:266 v5.0.x, :267 main). memcpy with a NULL source is UB even for size 0, which is what UBSan flags. The same pattern exists in mca_pml_ob1_rdma_hdr_prepare (pml_ob1_hdr.h:421/422). No fix in git history; functionally benign. |
| #7900 | Terminal size under OpenMPI | mrzv | 2020-07-01 (6y2m) | feature request | Needs check (PRRTE) (reported on 4.0.4): Open MPI has no code in this path. On v5.0.x and main, PRRTE sets up the child's stdout. PTY support is on by default (prrte config/prte_configure_options.m4:175-184) and odls sets opts.usepty=PRTE_ENABLE_PTY_SUPPORT for every child (v5.0.x prrte a99bf3a006 src/mca/odls/base/odls_base_default_fns.c:1584,2238, main prrte f33bfe488 :2326,3063). prte_iof_base_setup_prefork (src/mca/iof/base/iof_base_setup.c:103-110 on both) copies TIOCGWINSZ from the daemon's own STDOUT_FILENO into pmix_openpty, the same logic v4.0.x had in orte. A remote prted's stdout is not a tty, so ioctl fails, wp stays NULL, and remote ranks get a pty with a 0x0 window. Local ranks copy prterun's size only if its stdout is a tty. The reporter hit 0x0 even locally with identical v4 code, so that case needs a runtime test. |
| #7766 | Option to enable two level namespace on Mac OS | srherbener | 2020-05-26 (6y4m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.0.3): config/ompi_setup_fc.m4 on v5.0.x lines 321-349 (main 323-351) still, on apple-darwin, appends -Wl,-flat_namespace to LDFLAGS for building all of Open MPI's libraries and adds it to the mpifort wrapper and ompi-fort.pc FCFLAGS via OPAL_WRAPPER_FLAGS_ADD (v5.0.x :341), with no configure opt-out; it dates from 6164dc4960 (2014, fix for #259, Fortran sentinels such as MPI_BOTTOM). The later -Wl,-commons,use_dylibs (+ -ld_classic) probe (v5.0.x :98-117, called at :408) only adjusts the build LDFLAGS and is not added to the wrapper, so flat_namespace remains what makes sentinels work for user programs. Keep vs Stale: Keep argues it is a real, still-present leak of a global linker mode into every mpifort-linked user dylib on a supported platform (Homebrew-style clang C++ plus gfortran builds are common). Stale argues it has only two reporters since 2020, no maintainer reply, last activity 2021-11, and removing flat_namespace risks silently wrong MPI_BOTTOM or MPI_IN_PLACE detection that only a macOS Fortran tester can validate. A no-rebuild workaround exists: mpifort compiler flags can be overridden with the OMPI_FCFLAGS env var (opal_wrapper.c:649-651) or by editing mpifort-wrapper-data.txt and ompi-fort.pc. Stale wins on balance. |
| #7765 | Dynamic Tuning (coll/tuned) behavior doesn't have any non commutative checks | wckzhang | 2020-05-26 (6y4m) | bug | Keep (reported on master-2020): Neither the forced-algorithm path nor the rules-file path checks op commutativity before dispatch. The ompi_coll_tuned_*_intra_do_this switches go straight to base algorithms: coll_tuned_allreduce_decision.c:134-148 (ring 4, segmented ring 5), coll_tuned_reduce_decision.c:158-178 (chain/pipeline/binary/binomial), coll_tuned_reduce_scatter_decision.c:135-145 and coll_tuned_reduce_scatter_block_decision.c:128-138 on v5.0.x, with identical code on main. The base ring allreduce (coll_base_allreduce.c:342) and reduce_scatter recursive-halving/ring (coll_base_reduce_scatter.c:129,409) are documented commutative-only and have no fallback. Only rabenseifner allreduce/reduce (coll_base_allreduce.c:991, coll_base_reduce.c:830) and RSB recursive halving (coll_base_reduce_scatter_block.c:419) guard themselves, and only decision_fixed.c (v5 :80,:691,:853,:999) checks ompi_op_is_commute. Main has a newer problem that also affects defaults. The disjoint allreduce fixed rule picks alg 7 allgather_reduce for non-commutative ops (coll_tuned_decision_fixed.c:263-270, from 539038a4c8). That algorithm reduces in reverse rank order (coll_base_allreduce.c:1310-1315: buf0 = b[t] op buf0), so it returns b[n-1] op ... op b0. |
| #7693 | btl/uct using wrong topology | rhc54 | 2020-05-04 (6y4m) | bug, Target: main | Keep (reported on master-2020): mca_btl_uct_component_open() still sizes contexts from the whole-node core count: hwloc_get_nbobjs_by_type(opal_hwloc_topology, HWLOC_OBJ_CORE) at opal/mca/btl/uct/btl_uct_component.c:124 (v5.0.x) and :166 (main), then divides by num_local_peers+1. opal_hwloc_topology is the node topology shared from the PRRTE daemon, so a job-level cpuset/cgroup or a binding is ignored. The 2025 btl/uct rework on main (112b4f813b) did not touch this heuristic. Impact is performance only (too many UCT contexts) and btl_uct_num_contexts_per_module is a workaround. Note PMIX_JOB_CPUSET does not exist in the bundled PMIx headers. |
| #7672 | Inconsistent & Perhaps buggy dynamic tuning behavior | wckzhang | 2020-04-29 (6y4m) | - | Keep (reported on master-2020): Gather/scatter were fixed by #7758 (2b1f053, first in v5.0.0), and the per-collective message-size table is now documented in docs/tuning-apps/coll-tuned.rst:172-189 (v5.0.x) and docs/tuning-apps/collectives/tuned.rst:224-237 (main). Scan and Exscan still compute the rule lookup size as dtype size * comm size and ignore count: coll_tuned_decision_dynamic.c:714 (exscan) and :758 (scan) on v5.0.x, :723 and :767 on main. bosilca confirmed in-thread that these two are copy/paste outliers. Because comm size is already the outer key in the rules file, Scan/Exscan rules cannot vary by message size at all. |
| #7526 | Disable cuda coll parameter doesn't work | souravzzz | 2020-03-11 (6y6m) | - | Keep (reported on 4.0.3): On v5.0.x, coll_cuda_disable_cuda_coll is registered at ompi/mca/coll/cuda/coll_cuda_component.c:83-88 into mca_coll_cuda_component.disable_cuda_coll (coll_cuda.h:138). Nothing reads it, and mca_coll_cuda_comm_query (coll_cuda_module.c:80-90) always returns a module. On main, the renamed coll_accelerator_disable_accelerator_coll (coll_accelerator_component.c:91-96, coll_accelerator.h:171) is also never read. mca_coll_accelerator_comm_query (coll_accelerator_module.c:74-90) only disqualifies itself for the null accelerator component or the mpi_assert_no_accel_buf assertion. The help text ("Automatically handle the CUDA buffers...") also describes the opposite of the parameter name. --mca coll ^cuda (v5) or ^accelerator (main) is the working way to disable the component. |
| #7481 | Configure doesn't fail when enable-mca-no-build mca and component names are invalid | Akshay-Venkatesh | 2020-02-26 (6y7m) | bug, Severity: minor | Keep (reported on master-2020, 4.0.2): config/opal_mca.m4:102-115 on v5.0.x (103-116 on main) splits each --enable-mca-no-build item and blindly sets DISABLE_<fw> or DISABLE_<fw>_<comp>, which is only consumed by MCA_COMPONENT_BUILD_CHECK (v5.0.x :922-923, main :970-971); a typo such as btl-utc sets an unused variable and configure succeeds. The --enable-mca-dso (:195) and --enable-mca-static (:223) lists are equally unchecked; only --enable-mca-direct is validated (:465-470, direct component requested but not found). No fixing commit or PR found. Caveat: the same flag is forwarded to the bundled PMIx/PRRTE sub-configures (3rd-party/openpmix/config/pmix_mca.m4, 3rd-party/prrte/config/prte_mca.m4 have their own --enable-mca-no-build), so names valid only for PMIx/PRRTE (e.g. plm-slurm) must not become a hard error in the OMPI configure. |
| #7472 | Delete smcuda BTL and put CUDA functionality in vader BTL | jsquyres | 2020-02-25 (6y7m) | Target: main | Keep (roadmap) (reported on master-2020): smcuda still ships on v5.0.x and main (opal/mca/btl/smcuda, owner.txt NVIDIA/active) and the CUDA docs still list smcuda as the ob1 CUDA-aware shared-memory path (main docs/tuning-apps/accelerators/cuda.rst:187). v5.0.x btl/sm has no accelerator code and no smsc/accelerator component. On main/v6.0.x the plan was realized differently: smsc/accelerator (6264853bf6, PR #12949, first in v6.0.0rc1) lets btl/sm set MCA_BTL_FLAGS_ACCELERATOR_GET (main opal/mca/btl/sm/btl_sm_component.c:353-354), but it is opt-in (smsc_accelerator_component.c:24 default priority 0, disqualifies itself at :79) and docs/tuning-apps/accelerators/rocm.rst:81-100 still offers smcuda as the alternative. |
| #7423 | Segv / freeing memory from dlclose()'ed common libraries | jsquyres | 2020-02-18 (6y7m) | bug | Keep (reported on master-2020): The root cause is unchanged: var_destructor frees *mbv_storage->stringval for string vars (opal/mca/base/mca_base_var.c:1863-1869 on v5.0.x, :1884 on main), and nothing deregisters vars that a common library registers under its own group (e.g. opal_common/ucx) before that library is unloaded along with its last component DSO. Every in-tree common library with string vars now works around it. common/monitoring registers under the pml/monitoring group (common_monitoring.c:259-265, from #7284). common/ucx heap-allocates the storage pointer (common_ucx.c:106-113 on v5.0.x, from 32aba0bdf2 for #11632, v6.0.0rc1). common/ofi does the same (common_ofi.c:342-351). So there is no reachable in-tree trigger left, and the issue has no reproducer or activity since 2020-02. Related but separate: v5.0.x mca_base_component_repository.c:299 still looks up the var group with a NULL project, so component vars are not deregistered before dlclose in that path; this is fixed on main by c454fd408f (#13897, with a v6.0.x cherry-pick 62f5f24742) and is a v5.0.x backport candidate. |
| #7394 | shmem related files left in /dev/shm after interrupt | manomars | 2020-02-13 (6y7m) | - | Keep (reported on 3.1.x, 4.0.1, 4.0.2): The leaked 4 MiB+8 files are the per-process btl/vader (now btl/sm) segment. On v5.0.x btl_sm_component.c:379-381 (main:395-397) registers sm_segment.<host>.<uid>.<jobid>.<noderank> for PMIx cleanup and then calls opal_shmem_segment_create(), but shmem/posix ignores file_name and instead creates /open_mpi.%04d (shmem_posix_common_utils.c:78 v5.0.x, :74 main; shmem_posix_module.c:168), so the registered cleanup path never matches the real /dev/shm object. The segment is only shm_unlink()ed at btl finalize (btl_sm_module.c:367), so a killed job leaks it; after OPAL_SHMEM_POSIX_MAX_ATTEMPTS=128 (shmem_posix.h:33) leaked names, posix selection fails. Only affects the non-default --mca shmem posix (mmap has higher priority). Not runtime-verified. |
| #7381 | OpenMPI OSHMEM 4.0.2 missing some pshmem functions | lriesen | 2020-02-10 (6y7m) | Target: main, Target: v5.0.x | Keep (reported on 4.0.2): oshmem/shmem/c/shmem_info.c (v5.0.x:18,29; main:19,30) defines shmem_info_get_version/shmem_info_get_name with no OSHMEM_PROFILING block, unlike every other API file (e.g. shmem_finalize.c uses #pragma weak shmem_finalize = pshmem_finalize plus profile-defines.h). Neither oshmem/include/pshmem.h nor oshmem/shmem/c/profile-defines.h has pshmem_info_get_* entries on v5.0.x or main, so libshmem exports no pshmem_info_get_version/pshmem_info_get_name. The file has not changed functionally since 2dc2159b4c (spec 1.2 import); no fixing PR found. |

| #6464 | DDT shows message queues with pml ob1 but not with ucx and yalla. | bartoldeman | 2019-03-05 (7y6m) | bug, good first issue | Keep (reported on 2.1.1, 3.1.x): DDT message queues are empty with pml ucx because the msgq DLL walks mca_pml_base_send/recv_requests, which only ob1/cm populate. On v5.0.x and main, libompi_dbg_msgq still reads those lists and pml/ucx still does not use them (grep). Proposed opt-in MCA param was never done. yalla is gone. |
| #6366 | Unexpected behavior of DataType.getSize in Java | malinkallen | 2019-02-07 (7y7m) | question | Keep (reported on 3.1.3): Java Datatype.getSize/getExtent count elements, not bytes, which conflicts with byte-based createResized/struct. Options discussed: fix the docs, add byte APIs, or switch to bytes in v5. Last activity was a 2021 question about v5.0.0. v5.0.x Datatype.java still returns getSize(handle)/baseSize. |
| #6240 | TCP: unexpected process identifier in connect_ack | abouteiller | 2019-01-05 (7y8m) | bug, Target: main | Needs check (reported on master-2019): TCP BTL deadlock with 'received unexpected process identifier' on multi-rail hosts with non-routable ifaces (virbr0, docker0); if_include worked around it. PR #7134 (reachable pairing, v5.0.0) meant to fix; mkre 2020 still hung on master without excluding docker0. Test: v5.0.x mpirun -mca btl tcp,self IMB pingpong across 2+ nodes with docker0/virbr0 up, no if_include/exclude. |

The Debian link_all_deplibs patch and dropping .la files were discussed with no resolution. libopen-rte is gone in v5, but libopen-pal 70:3:30 (so.40) became 80:0:0 (so.80) while libmpi stayed .40. |

| #2056 | [feature request] packaging for multiple Fortran compilers | jeffhammond | 2016-09-05 (10y) | enhancement, fortran bindings | Keep (reopened 2026-09-28 by bosilca after jeffhammond's reply; reported on 2.0.x): request for one Open MPI C library usable with several Fortran compilers. Our 2026-09-28 close cited the docs' wait-and-see on the MPI Forum Fortran ABI; jeffhammond (reporter) says that ABI is settled (incomplete by design) and the real path is standalone Fortran bindings (e.g. VAPAA, MPICH work) on top of the C ABI. main/v6.0.x already implement the Fortran-related C ABI pieces those need (MPI_Abi_get/set_fortran_info, MPI_Abi_get/set_fortran_booleans, MPI_Comm/Type_toint/fromint); v5.0.x has none. Open items: whether OMPI's own Fortran bindings should be buildable per-compiler on top of libmpi_abi, and updating docs/building-apps/mpi-forum-abi.rst (says the Forum still discusses the Fortran ABI). |
| #2025 | can opal_progress() call opal_progress()?

In v5.0.x/main, ompi_comm_nextcid_nb only uses the extended-CID path when comm==NULL, so idup keeps the old algorithm. Repro: two back-to-back MPI_Comm_idup on COMM_WORLD with 4 ranks. |

| #194 | Non-uniform BTL usage not working | ompiteam | 2014-10-01 (11y11m) | bug | Needs check: BTLs treated a missing peer modex key as a fatal error, which breaks mixed-BTL jobs. usnic was fixed in r31258 and tcp in r31753, and tcp on main now ignores OPAL_ERR_NOT_FOUND.

| #123 | Fix MPI_File auto-close on Finalize | ompiteam | 2014-10-01 (11y11m) | bug | Needs check (v5.0.x): MPI_File left open at MPI_Finalize is auto-closed after ompi_instance_count drops to 0, and ROMIO's close still calls MPI_Barrier, which trips the after-finalize check. v5.0.x still ships ROMIO 3.4.1 (removed from main by 73a55fe4fe); default ompio is unaffected.
