[ewg] [BUG?] OpenMPI with openib on SPARC64: Signal: Bus error (10)

[Lukas Razik]

Hello everybody!

I've Sun T5120 (SPARC64) Servers with
- Debian: 6.0.3
- linux-2.6.39.4 (from kernel.org)
- OFED-1.5.3.2
- InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25418 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s - IB DDR / 10GigE] (rev a0)
  with newest FW (2.9.1)
and the following issue:

If I try to mpirun a program like the osu_latency benchmark:
$ /usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpirun -np 2 --mca btl_base_verbose 50 --mca btl_openib_verbose 1 -host cluster1,cluster2 /usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/tests/osu_benchmarks-3.1.1/osu_latency

then I get these errors:
<snip>
# OSU MPI Latency Test v3.1.1
# Size            Latency (us)

The whole output can be found here:
http://net.razik.de/linux/T5120/openmpi-1.4.3-verbose.txt

That's my 'ompi_info --param all all' output:
http://net.razik.de/linux/T5120/openmpi-1.4.3_param_all_all.txt

Same error with OFED-1.5.4-rc4 and also the same with openmpi-1.4.4.

If I disable openib the I get the right results:
$ /usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpirun --mca btl ^openib -np 2 -host cluster1,cluster2 /usr/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/tests/osu_benchmarks-3.1.1/osu_latency

# Size            Latency (us)
0                       143.53
1                       140.50

ibverbs seems to work:
$ ibv_srq_pingpong -n 1000000 cluster2
<snip>
8192000000 bytes in 4.15 seconds = 15806.63 Mbit/sec
1000000 iters in 4.15 seconds = 4.15 usec/iter

I don't know which mailing list is the right one and I'm very thankful for any help!
If you have questions, please ask!

Best regards,
Lukas
