This new sbatch option allows the user to specify a file containing
environment variables to be used in the jobs execution environment.

Let operators see reservation data even if "PrivateData=reservations" flag
is set in slurm.conf. Patch from Don Albert, Bull.

It used to be listed as "--switch=" rather than "--switches="

Fix bug in srun --multi-prog configuration file to avoid printing duplicate
record error when "*" is used at the end of the file for the task ID. It
means all task IDs not otherwise identified.

Fix race condition where sbcast command can result in deadlock of slurmd
daemon. Patch by Don Albert, Bull.

a minor bug was introduced because the io_dup_stdio() call was moved
out from under the 'else' case of the empty if

 if (job->pty && (task->gtid == 0))

in task.c:exec_task() This results in the error

 dup2(stdin): Bad file descriptor

For task 0 when --pty is used, because io_dup_stdio() is
inappropriately being called after login_tty().

This patch collects the stdio setup into prepare_tty(), renames
that function prepare_stdio(), and removes the io_dup_stdio()
call from exec_task().  This removes the last io_* call from
slurmstepd/task.c, so the io.h header is removed.

I didn't see a problem with moving the io_dup_stdio() call earlier in
the task setup path, but it could probably use another set of eyes.

When importing an exported shell function, the bracket count
code didn't handle negative return value from _bracket_cnt(),
so a shell function (or a shell variable starting with '(')
would loop until the end of the env output.

Since the test for no open bracket wasn't handled anyway, remove
this and clean up _bracket_cnt() code (which now returns negative
if there are more closing than opening brackets).

Also, remove the unneded local integer bracket_cnt from the while
loops and only continue processing while the bracket tally is > 0.

Note: There are still many unhandled corner cases in this code.

src/common/env.c:env_array_user_default() tries to import a "default"
user environment by parsing the output of something like

 su - <user> -c "/bin/env" ( or "slurmstepd getenv")

(or an equivalent) when the job is run with --get-user-env. There is some
code that tries to detect and import exported bash shell functions, which
usually have the form

 func=() { ...
 }

into the job environment. However, one of the many problems with the
code is that the test for bounds overflow:

              if ((strlen(value) + strlen(line)) >
                  (sizeof(value) - 1))
                     break;

useis sizeof(value) and value is a char *. This means that all multiline
shell functions are truncated, and the following error appears in
users batch script output:

 /bin/sh: func: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
 /bin/sh: error importing function definition for `func'

This patch fixes the bounds test.

Similar cut-and-paste code in _load_env_cache() was also fixed.

However, it should be noted that there are many other potential cases
where shell functions will not be properly imported by this code.
(For example, quoted unbalanced brackets used in the function)
Someday this should be fixed.

starts in accounting.

There was an oversight in the GracTime preemption logic that resulted
in repeatedly reading the PreemptType configuration parameter and
doing a string comparison. This change will improve efficiency of
that logic.

One of our testers discovered a regression in version 2.3.1.  If a job is
pending due to PartitionNodeLimit and the limit is relieved with a
'sacctmgr modify qos name=<qos name> set flags=partitionmaxnodes' new jobs
exceeding the partition limit (but not the QOS limit) are allowed to run.
However, the pending job is never allowed to run.  Attached is a patch to
address this problem.  FYI, this problem doesn't exist in version 2.4.

There was also some bad code that would reset the conn_type of a block
to SMALL no matter what type of SMALL it was.

This was due to a bug in select/cons_res with some configuration
optiions and job options, especially if there is more than one
thread per core and the job option includes "--threads-per-core=1".

lock was deemed not necessary because the information (db_index) was only
internal and was only modified in the same function later which is
protected by the write lock.
