PingPong doesn't work for verbs provider on Windows

[mason1504]

I'm having issues getting the pingpong example application to work for the verbs provider on Windows (using Mellanox CX5 adaptors). I'm running the applcation as follows:

Server: -p verbs -s <local_ip_address> -v -e msg
Client: -p verbs -s <local_ip_address> <remote_ip_address> -v -e msg

Both client and server do not return from blocking reads on the event queue after fi_connect is called on the client side. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance.

Many of the fabtests will build and run on windows. The windows CI runs these tests (e.g. msg_pingpong), but over the tcp provider. (Verbs devices aren't available on appveyor.) I don't think pingpong (from the libfabric build) is executed, but I don't know if there's a reason it isn't, other than it provides less test coverage than fabtests.
