Hi, Can I have an account to declare this bug into the bug tracker? Thanks, Eric On 08/12/17 10:14 AM, Guo, Yanfei wrote:

Hi Eric,

Sorry about the delay. I am able to reproduce the problem with your example (even with the master branch of MPICH). Maybe Rob can take a look at the problem.

Hi,

I first posted on Nov 15 this bug on the list and I still have no reply.

Is there something I should know or is there a better place to post an MPICH bug?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

I have taken some time to have a relative "small" code to reproduce the problem.

The good thing is that now I can extract the exact call sequence of almost any MPI I/O call we make in our code to have a pure "mpi" calls in s simple C program, independent of our in-house code.

To reproduce the bug, just compile the attached file with any mpich/master since commit b4ab2f118d (nov 8) , and launch the resulting executable with 3 processes along with the second attachment (file_for_bug.data) saved in the pwd on an *NFS* path.

You should see comething like this:

ERROR Returned by MPI: 604040736 ERROR_string Returned by MPI: Other I/O error , error stack: ADIOI_NFS_READSTRIDED(523): Other I/O error Bad file descriptor ERROR Returned by MPI: 268496416 ERROR_string Returned by MPI: Other I/O error , error stack: ADIOI_NFS_READSTRIDED(523): Other I/O error Operation now in progress application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 0 application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 2

If you launch it on a local drive, it works.

Can someone confirm it as reproduce the problem please?

Moreover, if I launch it with valgrind, even on a local disk, it complains like this, on process 0:

==99023== Warning: invalid file descriptor -1 in syscall read() ==99023== at 0x53E2CB0: __read_nocancel (in /lib64/libc-2.19.so) ==99023== by 0x5041606: file_to_info_all (system_hints.c:101) ==99023== by 0x5041606: ADIOI_process_system_hints (system_hints.c:150) ==99023== by 0x50311B8: ADIO_Open (ad_open.c:123) ==99023== by 0x50161FD: PMPI_File_open (open.c:154) ==99023== by 0x400F91: main (mpich_mpiio_nfs_bug_read.c:42)

Hi M. Latham,

I have more information now.

When I try to run my example on NFS, I have the following error code:

error #812707360 Other I/O error , error stack: ADIOI_NFS_READSTRIDED(523): Other I/O error Success

that is returned by MPI_File_read_all_begin

When I try on a local disk, everything is fine.

Here are all files about my actual build:

Hi,

We are compiling with mpich/master each night since august 2016...

since nov 8, the mpich/master branch is buggy with our nighlty build tests.

Here is the nov 8 config.log:

http://www.giref.ulaval.ca/~cmpgiref/dernier_mpich/2017.11.08.05h36m02s_conf...

For nov 7 the configure log:

http://www.giref.ulaval.ca/~cmpgiref/dernier_mpich/2017.11.07.05h36m01s_conf...

Since nov 8, on a specific ROMIO test, it is hanging indefinitely in optimized mode, and into DEBUG mode, I have a strange (yet to be debugged) assertion in our code.

I reran the test manually, and when I wrote the results on a local disk, everything is fine.

However, when I write over *NFS*, the test is faulty.

I have not yet debugged enough through this, but, I suspect something related with one of:

MPI_File_write_all_begin MPI_File_write_all_end MPI_File_read_all_begin MPI_File_read_all_end MPI_File_set_view MPI_Type_free

Am I alone to see these problems?

Thanks, Eric
