[mpich-devel] MPIR_CVAR_CH3_RMA_GC_NUM_TESTED

[Zhao, Xin]

Hi Hal,

Currently the RMA operation list is implemented in CH3 layer, whereas the progress engine is implemented in nemesis layer. We didn't pass the list to the nemesis layer but only pass the single request pointer, so the progress engine now only modify on the request pointer. This is one of the problems we have with the current separation of the CH3 and nemesis layers, we plan to merge these layers in future and this should be fixed at that time.

Thanks,
Xin

Xin, et al.,

Regarding 283319f5d9d1cdbcf016dc0ff8ab284114c0be7e (which added MPIR_CVAR_CH3_RMA_GC_NUM_TESTED and associated code): If a request is completed by the progress engine, why can't the progress engine move it to the beginning of the list (or the end), and have rma_list_gc only search from the beginning (or end) until it finds an incomplete request?

Thanks in advance,
Hal
