Problem: some versions of OpenMPI work with Flux and some do not,
and it would be helpful to users to know which ones should work.

Add a FAQ entry.

Thanks @garlick!

faqs.rst Outdated
MCA pmix: flux (MCA v2.1.0, API v2.0.0, Component v4.0.3)
MCA schizo: flux (MCA v2.1.0, API v1.0.0, Component v4.0.3)

Unfortunately, `a bug <https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/6730>`_ broke the Flux plugins in versions 3.1.0 through 4.0.1 (inclusive). The `trivial fix <https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/6764/commits/d4070d5f58f0c65aef89eea5910b202b8402e48b>`_ may be back-ported to the broken versions, if needed.

It looks like that fix was already backported by Ralph and the OpenMPI team for 3.0.5, 3.1.5, and 4.0.2. So I think we should call out that 3.0.X , 3.1.X, and 4.0.Y+ ((where X>=5 and Y>=2) should work.

Side-note: while looking up those PR numbers, I ran across a different issue that I was previously unaware of. It looks like a segfault in MPI_Finalize when using the Flux component was fixed in 4.0.6 and 4.1.1.

Oof. Did you want to just push some changes directly to this branch? I'm all done for today, and I'm off tomorrow. o/w I'll pick it up on Tues.

Sure! Just pushed. I think that means @grondo, @cmoussa1, or @dongahn needs to review (if they have a chance).

Include the exact versions of OpenMPI that are broken under Flux and
the OpenMPI versions that have the fixes backported.
