This adds lockfile tracking to Spack's lock mechanism, so that we ensure that there
is only one open file descriptor per inode.
The `fcntl` locks that Spack uses are associated with an inode and a process.
This is convenient, because if a process exits, it releases its locks.
Unfortunately, this also means that if you close a file, *all* locks associated
with that file's inode are released, regardless of whether the process has any
other open file descriptors on it.
Because of this, we need to track open lock files so that we only close them when
a process no longer needs them. We do this by tracking each lockfile by its
inode and process id. This has several nice properties:
1. Tracking by pid ensures that, if we fork, we don't inadvertently track the parent
process's lockfiles. `fcntl` locks are not inherited across forks, so we'll
just track new lockfiles in the child.
2. Tracking by inode ensures that referencs are counted per inode, and that we don't
inadvertently close a file whose inode still has open locks.
3. Tracking by both pid and inode ensures that we only open lockfiles the minimum
number of times necessary for the locks we have.
Note: as mentioned elsewhere, these locks aren't thread safe -- they're designed to
work in Python and assume the GIL.
Tasks:
- [x] Introduce an `OpenFileTracker` class to track open file descriptors by inode.
- [x] Reference-count open file descriptors and only close them if they're no longer
needed (this avoids inadvertently releasing locks that should not be released).
This commit rework version facts so that:
1. All the information on versions is collected
before emitting the facts
2. The same kind of atom is emitted for versions
stemming from different origins (package.py
vs. packages.yaml)
In the end all the possible versions for a given
package are totally ordered and they are given
different and increasing weights staring from zero.
This refactor allow us to avoid using negative
weights, which in some configurations may make
parent node score "better" and lead to unexpected
"optimal" results.
Add HPDDM, MMG, ParMMG and Tetgen to PETSc.
Add mmg version 5.5.2 (compatible with PETSc).
Add parmmg, depending on mmg.
Add pic variant to tetgen for PETSc.
* Adding a heap of NOAA packages for UFS.
Adding the Unified Forecast System (UFS) and all of the packages
it depends on.
* Fixing style tests.
* Removing the package CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE override.
* Removing compiler specs from `cmake_args()`.
- provides the site packages fix
- excludes the hdf5 linking changes (which are fixed in conduit@develop's build system)
- relaxes constraints to allows building static ascent against shared python
Once PR binary graduation is deployed, the shared PR mirror will
contain binaries just built by a merged PR, before the subsequent
develop pipeline has had time to finish. Using the shared PR mirror
as a source of binaries will reduce the number of times we have to
rebuild the same full hash.
