It looks like changes were made to the man pages. However, --switch is still used for the info, usage, and help strings. The attached patch fixes those.

already pinged it on startup the unresponding flag would be removed from

Cray - For srun wrapper when creating a job allocation, set the default job
name to the executable file's name. Ignore leading directory names in the path.

This patch contains the bits of bad_dbtime.diff from CSCS which have
not already been committed

permit the srun and salloc commands to be executed in the background
on Cray systems

Add new job state reason of "FrontEndDown" which applies only to Cray and
IBM BlueGene systems.

the queue when trying to place a larger than midplane job.

In cray/srun wrapper, only include aprun "-q" option when srun "--quiet"
option is used.

Here's what seems to have happened:

- A job was pending, waiting for resources.
- slurm.conf was changed to remove some nodes, and a scontrol reconfigure was done.
- As a result of the reconfigure, the pending job became non-runnable, due to "Requested node configuration is not available". The scheduler set the job state to JOB_FAILED and called delete_job_details.
- scontrol reconfigure was done again.
- read_slurm_conf called _restore_job_dependencies.
- _restore_job_dependencies called build_feature_list for each job in the job list
- When build_feature_list tried to reference the now deleted job details for the failed job, it got a segmentation fault.

The problem was reported by a customer on Slurm 2.2.7.  I have not been able to reproduce it on 2.4.0-pre3, although the relevant code looks the same. There may be a timing window. The attached patch attempts to fix the problem by adding a check to _restore_job_dependencies.  If the job state is JOB_FAILED, the job is skipped.

This is an alternative solutionh to bug316980fix.patch

Added default_time field in partition records in Lua job submit
plugin.

Added a new Lua library name to try loading with dlopen() in Lua
based plugins.

Only report "gres/<name> lacks File parameter" if some nodes define
File AND this node does not AND (new part here) the GRES count on
this node is non-zero

Fixes for jobs with long argument lists

Replace two xstrcat() calls per argument with a single xmalloc()
call. This significantly speeds up handling of REQUEST_JOB_INFO RPCs
when some jobs have long argument lists.

Change argc from uint16_t to uint32_t in slurmctld and
slurmstepd. Rest of the code already use uint32_t for argc.

Fixes a bunch of warnings of this type
