After taking a look at how epoll is implemented in the Linyux kernel, I
can say with 100% certainty that BLCR will not restore the epoll fd
correctly. I hope to fix that eventually, but have too many other
things on my plate to address is now.
Since I cannot promise how soon BLCR may be able to resolve this
problem, I suggest that Josh continue exploring the alternatives. At
least "opal_event_include" set to "poll" appears to work. It is not
clear to me if the "select" problem is related to BLCR or not.
I am guessing that I don't get a say as to weather the BLCR/epoll
problems should delay the libevent merge, but I trust the rest of you to
determine what is in the best interest of OMPI.
