MTLs are inappropriately calling exit() or abort()

[mwheinz]

As a part of discussing #7699, it was pointed out that there are several error paths in the OFI MTL that call exit() and several in the Portals MTL that call abort(). These are inappropriate and need to be rethought, possibly replacing them with calls to ompi_rte_abort().

@mwheinz can this issue be closed?

@mwheinz can this issue be closed?

No, these problems still exist in the OFI provider. Assigning it to myself since there doesn't seem to be anyone in particular maintaining the OFI MTL.

I can't promise to get to this anytime soon but I've added it to my internal bug queue. It's low priority because it's been in the code without complaint since 2018.

No worries - thanks.

@mwheinz Going over older issues, is this still relevant?

Unfortunately I no longer work for that company and I haven't worked on Open MPI since 2021.
