Description

I've opened a PR to add MPI_File_fence to ROMIO. This would be defined for all ADIO file systems, though it would have the most utility for UnifyFS.

https://github.com/roblatham00/mpich/pull/2/files

This is just FYI. It does not yet build. I'm hoping to get help from the MPICH team.

Research direction

Review the linked PR and ROMIO's ADIO file-system implementation first; the issue names no local files or tests. Done would mean the MPI_File_fence addition builds for the ADIO file systems and its usefulness for UnifyFS is addressed.
