Disambiguate the buffered message for each MPI_Issend.
If an MPI_Isend is posted after an MPI_Issend with the same communicator, source, and tag, both messages can be buffered during the drain. markSsendAck selects the last matching message, so the acknowledgment can attach to the later MPI_Isend. The MPI_Issend can then remain pending until the later message is consumed.
Record a per-send sequence number and include it in the notice. Use that sequence to select the MPI_Issend message instead of selecting the last envelope match.

@pera-noaa Thanks for the rework. The semantics are right now: a drained MPI_Ssend returns only after the application's own receive takes its message from MANA's buffer, and the wrapper no longer holds back the Collective Clock. I'd like two changes before we merge.
1. Drop the reply round
MPI 5.0 gives only a lower bound for the completion of a synchronous send. It "will complete successfully only if a matching receive is started" (§3.4), and it "can complete only if a matching receive has been started and has been matched with the send" (§3.7). Nothing requires it to return as soon as the receive starts. So the receiver can ack every notice, and the sender can always wait for the ack:
- When the drain sees an
MPI_Issendcomplete, it turns the request into the receive of its ack at once, asapplySsendReplies()does for an "ack" reply now. The request never maps toMPI_REQUEST_NULLin between. - After its drain loop, the receiver goes through its notices. If the message is in MANA's buffer, it sets
ack_to, as now. If it is not, the application has already received the message, and the receiver sends the ack on resume or restart, beforemana_state = RUNNING.
Both drains have received every message when their loop ends, so this needs no extra pass and no extra barrier. It removes the ssend_reply_* keys, applySsendReplies(), the MPI:P2P-Ssend-Answered barrier, ssend_pass with its two extra loop passes, and ssendNotInFlight() with its cases in completePendingP2pRequests(), completePendingIsends() and countPendingIsends(). The cost is one 0-byte message for an MPI_Ssend whose receive had already started at the checkpoint. That MPI_Ssend then returns after the checkpoint, which the standard allows.
2. Add MPI_Issend
MPI_Ssend is already MPI_Issend and MPI_Wait inside, and the guarantee matters even more for MPI_Issend. The NBX algorithm (MPI_Issend, MPI_Iprobe(MPI_ANY_SOURCE) and MPI_Ibarrier, used by PETSc's PetscCommBuildTwoSided) takes a completed MPI_Issend as proof that the receiver has matched the message. If a drain completes it early, the sender enters MPI_Ibarrier early, the receiver can stop probing, and the message stays in MANA's buffer forever. Please add the wrapper in this PR, so that the protocol is designed for it. Three things change with it:
- After an
MPI_Issend, the application can post more sends, so the rule inmarkSsendAck()(the last buffered message with this envelope) no longer holds. This is CodeRabbit's comment: anMPI_Isendwith the same envelope gets the mark, and twoMPI_Issends with the same envelope failJASSERT(last->ack_to == -1). Messages with one envelope are non-overtaking, the drain receives all of them, and a receive always takes a buffered message first. So for one envelope, the buffered messages are the last ones that the sender sent. If the notice gives the number of sends with the same envelope that the sender posted after theMPI_Issend(j), the receiver marks the (j+1)th buffered match from the end. If there are fewer, the application has received the message. The count costs one branch per send while noMPI_Issendis pending. - A rank can have several
MPI_Issends that wait for acks from the same receiver, also from earlier checkpoints, and the receiver can take their messages in any order. With tag 0 for every ack, an ack can complete the wrong request early. The notice should carry the tag of its ack, for example from a per-sender counter. - Tests: an
MPI_Issendand anMPI_Isendwith the same envelope across a checkpoint; twoMPI_Issends with the same envelope; completion throughMPI_WaitallandMPI_Testany; and an NBX loop with checkpoints and restarts that checks that no message is lost.
With this, MPI_Ssend is MPI_Issend plus MPI_Wait, with no code of its own.
I also have a question about the change in mpi_plugin.cpp; it is inline.

A question about this change. Before, blocking mode left the lower half open during the drain when the checkpoint thread has no lower-half TLS of its own (the library did not give MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, or create_lh_thread_for_extra_tls() failed), and closed it only after the drain. Now, in that case too, application threads that are not blocked in the library must leave, and they cannot enter until the drain ends. The comment in lower_half_ckpt.cpp also no longer says "with MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE".
- Which failure does this fix? Is there a test that fails without it?
- Did any of your runs use blocking mode without
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE? If the library gives it, the new branch does not run. - With the change in my review, an
MPI_Issendnever maps toMPI_REQUEST_NULLduring the drain, so the reason in the comment goes away. I think the gate is still needed, so that only the checkpoint thread can complete anMPI_Issendthat has a notice. If you agree, please put this change in its own commit and give that reason in the comment.
Both were in mpi_unimplemented_wrappers.txt, so a program that called them aborted with "wrapper: `MPI_Ssend` not implemented". MPI_Issend follows MPI_Isend, and MPI_Ssend is MPI_Issend and MANA's MPI_Wait in both MANA_P2P_WAIT modes, so no thread waits in the lower half. The request is logged as an MPI_Isend's is. The Fortran bindings are added too. A checkpoint can still complete an MPI_Issend whose message it drains before the receive starts; the commit after next fixes that.
p2p_ssend passes messages around a ring with MPI_Ssend, with the receivers waiting; p2p_ssend_wait (-w) makes the senders wait, so that checkpoints find them in MPI_Ssend. fortran_p2p adds an MPI_SSEND, or MPI_ISSEND and MPI_WAIT in odd iterations.
The P2P drain can receive an MPI_Issend's message into MANA's buffer before the application posts its receive, and then complete the MPI_Issend: MPI_Ssend returns early, and an NBX loop (MPI_Issend, MPI_Iprobe, MPI_Ibarrier) can leave its last message in the buffer. MPI only bounds an MPI_Issend's completion from below, so every MPI_Issend pending at a checkpoint now waits for an ack: - At the start of the drain, the sender posts a notice to the receiver in the KVDB: the envelope, the number of sends with that envelope posted since the MPI_Issend (later_sends, counted only while an MPI_Issend is pending), and a tag for the ack from a per-sender counter. - When the drain sees the MPI_Issend complete, its request becomes the receive of the ack on a MANA communicator, so it never maps to MPI_REQUEST_NULL. - After its drain loop, the receiver goes through its notices. The buffered messages with one envelope are the last ones sent, so if more than later_sends are buffered, it marks the (later_sends + 1)th from the end, and sends the ack when the application takes it from the buffer. Otherwise the application has received the message, and the receiver sends the ack at resume or restart, before RUNNING. After the drain, the ack and its receive are ordinary messages and requests, so restart replays the receive. An MPI_Issend whose receive had started before the checkpoint costs one 0-byte message and returns after the checkpoint.
In blocking mode, the checkpoint thread closed the lower half before the P2P drain only if it had a lower-half TLS of its own (the library gave MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE). Otherwise application threads stayed free to enter until after the drain, and one in MANA's MPI_Wait or MPI_Test could see an MPI_Issend complete once the drain received its message: the MPI_Issend completes before its receive starts, without the ack, while the drain turns the same request into the receive of the ack. So the checkpoint thread now closes the lower half in both cases, except to a thread blocked in MPI_Recv, MPI_Send or MPI_Rsend: only the checkpoint thread completes an MPI_Issend that has a notice. Intel MPI grants MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, so the old branch never ran in our tests. With the lower half forced to ask for MPI_THREAD_FUNNELED, 5 of 5 MPI_Ssend/MPI_Issend tests fail in blocking mode without this change (senders abort with "double free or corruption", or an MPI_Issend completes before its receive), and pass with it.

Following up on my comment above: I found the cause, and it is in the harness, not in the Ssend protocol. 1.

p2p_ssend_sync sends a marker after MPI_Ssend returns; the receiver waits, probing for the marker, before it posts the receive. Variants: -b (p2p_ssend_burst: checkpoints in a row, autotest.py: burst), -r (p2p_ssend_restart: restart right after the checkpoint, autotest.py: restart_now), -l (4 MiB messages), -x (varying receiver delays). For checkpoints in a row, autotest.py now waits for the last one to resume (the coordinator refuses a checkpoint until then) and fails if dmtcp_command does. p2p_ssend_collective calls MPI_Allreduce right after MPI_Ssend; p2p_ssend_probe checks that a probed message stays probed; p2p_ssend_wildcard receives with MPI_ANY_SOURCE; p2p_ssend_order sends an MPI_Ssend after MPI_Sends with the same envelope; p2p_ssend_comm uses a communicator whose ranks differ from the world's; p2p_ssend_blocked sends to a rank blocked in MPI_Recv for another sender. p2p_issend_envelope posts an MPI_Issend between two MPI_Isends with its envelope; an ack on the earlier message completes it early, and one on the later message never. p2p_issend_twice posts two MPI_Issends with one envelope and one with another, which is received first, and completes them with MPI_Testany, reporting each completion; with -w (p2p_issend_waitall), with MPI_Waitall. p2p_issend_nbx runs the NBX algorithm (MPI_Issend, MPI_Iprobe(MPI_ANY_SOURCE), MPI_Ibarrier) and checks that every message is received in its round.

MPI_IssendandMPI_Ssendare unimplemented, so a program that calls them aborts. This adds both:MPI_IssendfollowsMPI_Isend, andMPI_SsendisMPI_Issendand MANA'sMPI_Waitin bothMANA_P2P_WAITmodes.A checkpoint can drain an
MPI_Issend's message into MANA's buffer before the receive starts, and theMPI_Issendmust not complete then. MPI only bounds its completion from below, so everyMPI_Issendpending at a checkpoint waits for an ack. At the start of the drain, the sender posts a notice to the receiver through the KVDB: the envelope, the number of same-envelope sends posted since, and a per-sender ack tag. When the drain sees theMPI_Issendcomplete, its request becomes the receive of the ack. After its drain loop, the receiver marks the buffered message (the ack is sent when the application takes it) or, if the application has already received it, sends the ack at resume or restart. Restart replays the ack's receive like any other. In blocking mode, the lower half is now closed to application threads during the drain even withoutMPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, so only the checkpoint thread completes anMPI_Issendthat has a notice.The
p2p_ssend*andp2p_issend*tests (andMPI_SSEND/MPI_ISSENDinfortran_p2p) check that neither call completes before its receive across checkpoints, bursts of checkpoints, a restart before the receive, large messages and varying delays. They also cover anMPI_IssendbetweenMPI_Isends with its envelope, twoMPI_Issends with one envelope (MPI_Testany,MPI_Waitall), the NBX algorithm,MPI_Allreduceright afterMPI_Ssend, probes, wildcard receives, a non-world communicator, and a receiver blocked on another rank.Tested on Hercules (Intel MPI 2021.7.1, verbs, 2 nodes): the suite passes 39 of 40 in polling and in blocking mode;
