MPI_GATHERV hangs for non-root process sending zero data

[Christopher]

I am using Intel OneAPI version 2021.3.0 20210609.

When calling MPI_GATHERV, a non-root process sending zero information does not exit the MPI_GATHERV call (i.e. it hangs). All other processes complete, and the root process gathers all the data correctly.

Note that the root process always has zero information in it's send buffer as it is a manager process. That is why I explicitly state above this issue is only related to a non-root process sending zero information. 

Wrapping the call to MPI_GATHERV with an if statement that sends `MPI_BOTTOM` in as an argument seems to fix the issue. But I don't understand why this is necessary:

 if (self%is_manager() .OR. dim1_size .gt. 0) then
    call MPI_GatherV(gather_variable,int(dim1_size,kind=MPI_INTEGER_KIND),datatype, &
     gathered_result,int(dim1_size_gathered,kind=MPI_INTEGER_KIND),displs,datatype, &
            self%manager_id,self%comm,ierror)
 else
    call MPI_GatherV(MPI_BOTTOM,int(dim1_size,kind=MPI_INTEGER_KIND),datatype, &
            gathered_result,int(dim1_size_gathered,kind=MPI_INTEGER_KIND),displs,datatype, &
            self%manager_id,self%comm,ierror)
 end if
