docker, openmpi and unexpected end of /proc/mounts line

This is likely due to your /proc/mount file having a line in it greater than 512 characters, causing the hwloc module of OpenMPI to fail to parse it correctly. Docker has a tendency to put very long lines into /proc/mounts. You can see the bug in openmpi-1.10.7/opal/mca/hwloc/hwloc191/hwloc/src/topology-linux.c:1677:

static void
hwloc_find_linux_cpuset_mntpnt(char **cgroup_mntpnt, char **cpuset_mntpnt, int fsroot_fd)
{
#define PROC_MOUNT_LINE_LEN 512
  char line[PROC_MOUNT_LINE_LEN];
  FILE *fd;

  *cgroup_mntpnt = NULL;
  *cpuset_mntpnt = NULL;

  /* ideally we should use setmntent, getmntent, hasmntopt and endmntent,
   * but they do not support fsroot_fd.
   */

  fd = hwloc_fopen("/proc/mounts", "r", fsroot_fd);
  if (!fd)
    return;

This can be fixed by increasing the value of PROC_MOUNT_LINE_LEN, although that should be considered a temporary workaround.

This issue should be fixed in hwloc since 1.11.3 (released 2 years ago). You can either upgrade to OpenMPI 3.0 which contains a hwloc 1.11.7 >= 1.11.3. Or recompile OpenMPI to use an external hwloc instead of the old embedded one.
