Looking at that section it appears that we store the port value locally in udapl_addr and use the local copy, so changing the udapl attribute may not be doing anything for the BTL. I will run some tests as well.

OK, strange but good. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if something has been changed, though I wouldn't know what, and I don't have time right now to go digging :( Maybe Don Kerr knows something?

I've run the whole IMB Benchmark Suite on 2, 3, and 4 nodes with 2
processes per node and --mca btl udapl,self. I didn't encouter any problems.

The comment above line 197 says that dat_ep_query() returns wrong port
numbers (which it does indeed), but I can't find any call to
dat_ep_query() in the uDAPL BTL code. Maybe the comment is out of date?

You say that fixes the problem, does it work even when running more than one MPI process per node? (that is the case the hack fixes) Simply doing an mpirun with a -np paremeter higher than the number of nodes you have set up should trigger this case, and making sure to use '-mca btl udapl,self' (ie not SM or anything else).

It has been explained in a different thread on [ofa-general] that the
problem lies in a combination of the OpenIB-cma provider not setting the
local and remote port numbers on endpoints correctly and Open MPI
stepping over the IA to save the port number to circumvent this problem,
thereby confusing the provider.

I commented out line 197 in ompi/mca/btl/udapl/btl_udapl.c (Open MPI
1.2.1 release) and this fixes the problem. As the problem in the
provider is currently being fixed, the whole saving of the port number
in the uDAPL BTL code will be unnecessary in the future.

Can the UDAPL OFED wizards shed any light on the error messages that are listed below? In particular, these seem to be worrysome:

setup_listener Permission denied
setup_listener Address already in use
These failures are from rdma_cm_bind indicating the port is already bound to this IA address. How are you creating the service point? dat_psp_create or dat_psp_create_any? If it is psp_create_any then you will see some failures until it gets to a free port. That is normal. Just make sure your create call returns DAT_SUCCESS.

Arlin, why doesn't dapl_psp_create_any() just pass a port of zero down
and let the rdma-cma pick an available port number?
