* Changes in Slurm 16.05.4
==========================
-- Fix potential deadlock if running with message aggregation.
-- Streamline when schedule() is called when running with message
aggregation
on batch script completes.
-- Fix incorrect casting when [un]packing derived_ec on slurmdb_job_rec_t.
-- Document that persistent burst buffers can not be created or
destroyed using
the salloc or srun --bb options.
-- Add support for setting the SLURM_JOB_ACCOUNT, SLURM_JOB_QOS and
SLURM_JOB_RESERVAION environment variables are set for the salloc
command.
Document the same environment variables for the salloc, sbatch and srun
commands in their man pages.
-- Fix issue where sacctmgr load cluster.cfg wouldn't load associations
that had a partition in them.
-- Don't return the extern step from sstat by default.
-- In sstat print 'extern' instead of 4294967295 for the extern step.
-- Make advanced reservations work properly with core specialization.
-- Fix race condition in the account_gather plugin that could result
in job
stuck in COMPLETING state.
-- Regression test fixes if SelectTypePlugin not managing memory and
no node
memory size set (defaults to 1 MB per node).
-- Add missing partition write locks to
_slurm_rpc_dump_nodes/node_single to
prevent a race condition leading to inconsistent sinfo results.
-- Fix task:CPU binding logic for some processors. This bug was introduced
in version 16.05.1 to address KNL bunding problem.
-- Fix two minor memory leaks in slurmctld.
-- Improve partition-specific limit logging from slurmctld daemon.
-- Fix incorrect access check when using MaxNodes setting on the
partition.
-- Fix issue with sacctmgr when specifying a list of clusters to query.
-- Fix issue when calculating future StartTime for a job.
-- Make EnforcePartLimit support logic work with any ordering of
partitions
in job submit request.
-- Prevent restoration of wrong CPU governor and frequency when using
multiple task plugins.
-- Prevent slurmd abort if hwloc library fails to populate the "children"
arrays (observed with hwloc version "dev-333-g85ea6e4").
-- burst_buffer/cray: Add "--groupid" to DataWarp "setup" command.
-- Fix lustre profiling putting it in the Filesystem dataset instead
of the
Network dataset.
-- Fix profiling documentation and code to match be consistent with
Filesystem instead of Lustre.
-- Correct the way watts is calculated in the rapl plugin when using a
poll
frequency other than AcctGatherNodeFreq.
-- Don't about step launch if job reaches expected end time while node is
configuring/booting (NOTE: The job end time will be adjusted after node
becomes ready for use).
-- Fix several print routines to respect a custom output delimiter when
printing NO_VAL or INFINITE.
-- Correct documented configurations where --ntasks-per-core and
--ntasks-per-socket are supported.
-- task/affinity plugin buffer allocated too small, can corrupt memory.
