error occurs when trainning transformer-xl by ddp
my env is as below:
- `transformers` version: 3.4.0
- Platform: 1Ubuntu-18.04
- Python version: 3.6.9
- PyTorch version (GPU?): 1.6.0+cu101 (False)
- Tensorflow version (GPU?): not installed (NA)
- Using GPU in script?: <fill in>
- Using distributed or parallel set-up in script?: <fill in>

I am trainning the transformer-xl on one machine with multi-gpus by ddp.

my script is as below:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 4 run_language_modeling.py --output_dir ${model_dir}
--tokenizer_name $data_dir/wordpiece-custom.json
--config_name $data_dir/$config_file
