rework server bootstrap completion #800

Closed MichaelBrim closed 10 months ago

Description

Motivation and Context

Flash-X on OLCF Summit was consistently failing to bootstrap at 12 nodes. Some of the servers were ready for client connections while others were still in the bootstrap phase.

Previously, servers assumed a successful "server bootstrap" phase when they received a response to the RPC used to report their pid to rank 0. These changes ensure that every server reaches consensus on bootstrap completion before we generate the unifyfs_server.pids file that is used by the command-line utility to report success in a user job.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on OLCF Summit. Getting to a working config required use of margo 0.13.1, mercury 2.2, argobots 1.1, and libfabric 1.14.1
