I have confirmed this behavior with libfabric1_1.6.1-5 and libpsm2_11.2.68-1. There is no existing workaround for the problem, other than downgrading libpsm2 to 10.3.58-2.
The problem occurs when the OFI psm2 provider invokes psm2_init() when there are no hfi1 devices present on the system. The call chain eventually invokes hfi1_wait_for_device() with a timeout of 0. That is interpreted as 15000ms. Mehdi filed upstream issue https://github.com/intel/opa-psm2/issues/33. I am taking this up with Intel support, as a similar issue exists in the IFS 10.8.0.0.204 RHEL distribution. -- Brian T.
