So upstream Podman was really fast and merged a PR which makes my wrapper unnecessary:
Add support for --env-host : https://github.com/containers/libpod/pull/3557 As commented in the PR I can now start mpirun with Podman without a wrapper: $ mpirun --hostfile ~/hosts --mca orte_tmpdir_base /tmp/podman-mpirun podman run --env-host --security-opt label=disable -v /tmp/podman-mpirun:/tmp/podman-mpirun --userns=keep-id --net=host mpi-test /home/mpi/ring Rank 0 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 1 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 0 has completed ring Rank 0 has completed MPI_Barrier Rank 1 has completed ring Rank 1 has completed MPI_Barrier This is example was using TCP and on an InfiniBand based system I have to map the InfiniBand devices into the container. $ mpirun --mca btl ^openib --hostfile ~/hosts --mca orte_tmpdir_base /tmp/podman-mpirun podman run --env-host -v /tmp/podman-mpirun:/tmp/podman-mpirun --security-opt label=disable --userns=keep-id --device /dev/infiniband/uverbs0 --device /dev/infiniband/umad0 --device /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm --net=host mpi-test /home/mpi/ring Rank 0 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 1 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 0 has completed ring Rank 0 has completed MPI_Barrier Rank 1 has completed ring Rank 1 has completed MPI_Barrier This is all running without root and only using Podman's rootless support. Running multiple processes on one system, however, still gives me an error. If I disable vader I guess that Open MPI is using TCP for localhost communication and that works. But with vader it fails. The first error message I get is a segfault: [test1:00001] *** Process received signal *** [test1:00001] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [test1:00001] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [test1:00001] Failing at address: 0x7fb7b1552010 [test1:00001] [ 0] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x12d80)[0x7f6299456d80] [test1:00001] [ 1] /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_btl_vader.so(mca_btl_vader_send+0x3db)[0x7f628b33ab0b] [test1:00001] [ 2] /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_pml_ob1.so(mca_pml_ob1_send_request_start_rdma+0x1fb)[0x7f62901d24bb] [test1:00001] [ 3] /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_pml_ob1.so(mca_pml_ob1_send+0xfd6)[0x7f62901be086] [test1:00001] [ 4] /usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so.40(PMPI_Send+0x1bd)[0x7f62996f862d] [test1:00001] [ 5] /home/mpi/ring[0x400b76] [test1:00001] [ 6] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf3)[0x7f62990a3813] [test1:00001] [ 7] /home/mpi/ring[0x4008be] [test1:00001] *** End of error message *** Guessing that vader uses shared memory this is expected to fail, with all the namespace isolations in place. Maybe not with a segfault, but each container has its own shared memory. So next step was to use the host's ipc and pid namespace and mount /dev/shm: '-v /dev/shm:/dev/shm --ipc=host --pid=host' Which does not segfault, but still does not look correct: Rank 0 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 1 has cleared MPI_Init Rank 2 has cleared MPI_Init [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 [test1:17722] Read -1, expected 80000, errno = 1 Rank 0 has completed ring Rank 2 has completed ring Rank 0 has completed MPI_Barrier Rank 1 has completed ring Rank 2 has completed MPI_Barrier Rank 1 has completed MPI_Barrier This is using the Open MPI ring.c example with SIZE increased from 20 to 20000. Any recommendations what vader needs to communicate correctly?
