[libfabric-users] client fi_eq_sread busy (eternally) after server accepted request

[Hefty, Sean]

Are you able to install a newer version of libfabric?

Can you clarify what you mean by the call returning EBUSY while also blocking?  What call is returning, and what call is blocked?

Correct.  A timeout of -1 will block until an event occurs.

Is the client blocked?

What does the server do after fi_accept?

I need a better idea of what the application is trying to do and where the hang is happening.
