Hi, It is strange that after upgrade torch from 1.4 to 1.9, the DDP training hangs at dist.barrier() rather than kill when some error happend.
Below is an sample of the code:
model_prepare()
dist.barrier()
train_epoch()
dist.barrier()
validate()

It occurs OOM error duing training progress. However the DDP process hangs as below rather than just stop and killed:

I start DDP by running bash command:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0,1" python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 2 train.py <args>

How can I deal with this problem. I want the training process just killed after met some error like OOM rather than hanging forever.
