PMIx/v2.1 mca/ptl early release bug

[artpol84]

Open it here to keep track.
@bwbarrett @jsquyres @jjhursey @jladd-mlnx this is a blocker for v3.1 - we observed the issue with OMPI v3.1 testing.
The fix is pending the check/review in PMIx/master (openpmix/openpmix#673), will need to port it to PMIx/v2.1 and bring it here.

[artpol84]

PMIx/master PR is merged.
v2.1 is filed: openpmix/openpmix#674

[artpol84]

PMIx/v2.1 PR is merged so PMIx side is fixed.
@bwbarrett @jsquyres what is the preferred way to bring this into OMPI v3.1? Port the commit or create a huge PR similar to #4746?

Huge PR??? There aren't very many changes in going from PMIx v2.1.0 to v2.1.1 - so why would this be "huge"?

[artpol84]

@rhc54 What I was asking is: do we want to do another sync or we want to port this specific fix.
My impression was that we are trying to release OMPI v3.1 ASAP and may not want to wait until PMIx v2.1.1 will be released.
It seems like you suggest to do another sync. I am fine with this.

[rhc54]

Yeah, I think they would be better off as there were a few bugs found since we released v2.1.0 - might as well sweep them all up. However, it is up to them. I just wanted to clarify that it shouldn't be a large amount of change, which is what your earlier comment implied.

[artpol84]

Thank you for the information @rhc54.

[artpol84]

Sync v2.1:
#4831

[artpol84]

Fix is in v3.1.x, issue can be closed.
