Looks like one of the process crashed unexpectedly.

Subject: [mpich-discuss] Crash on MPI_Rput
Hi,

I’m testing the MPI-RMA runtime in Global Arrays and I’m getting a lot more crashes than I’ve seen in the past. The MPI-RMA runtime code is fairly stable and hasn’t been modified much recently and all the tests used to pass using one of the more recent MPICH releases. However, I’m getting significant crashes at this point. One of them occurs in a program designed to test non-blocking communication. It creates an MPI window, using MPI_Alloc_mem followed by MPI_Win_create and then calls MPI_Win_lock_all on the window. The code currently crashes when it gets to an MPI_Rput call. I’m trying to see if there is something different in the environment that might be causing this.

I’m currently up to MPICH-4.0b1 configured with

./configure --prefix=/people/d3g293/mpich/mpich-4.0b1/install --with-device=ch4:ofi:sockets --with-libfabric=embedded --enable-threads=multiple --with-slurm CC=gcc CXX=g++
#./configure --prefix=/people/d3g293/mpich/mpich-3.4.1/install-newell-nocuda --with-device=ch4:ofi:sockets --with-libfabric=embedded --enable-threads=multiple --with-slurm CC=gcc CXX=g++

I’ve tried other recent vintages of MPICH, but I get similar results. The error I’m seeing when the program crashes is

[proxy:0:1 at node003.local] HYD_pmcd_pmip_control_cmd_cb (pm/pmiserv/pmip_cb.c:899): assert (!closed) failed
[proxy:0:1 at node003.local] HYDT_dmxu_poll_wait_for_event (tools/demux/demux_poll.c:76): callback returned error status

[mpiexec at node002.local] main (ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:325): process manager error waiting for completion

Any suggestions about what might be going wrong here? It could be a problem with the machine configuration, since this code seemed to be running fine a while ago and has not been modified since then. I’ll try building the latest stable release and see if that fixes anything, but as I mentioned none of the recent releases seems to work.
