An issue popped up as part of the code review for
https://github.com/ofiwg/libfabric/pull/6185
The summary is that supporting FI_HMEM (e.g. GPU memory buffers) may have a negative impact on the performance of fi_inject() calls. Either the provider must disable inject completely, or possibly check the buffer location on each inject call.
Unfortunately, the problem was not detected until now, and we're looking for input on how to handle this.
