i.e. salloc -n32 doesn't request the number of nodes and with the previous
code if this request used 4 nodes and only 1 was left in GrpNodes it
would just run with no issue since we were checking things before we
selected how many nodes it ran on.

Now we check this afterwards so we always check the limits on how many
nodes, cpus and how much memory is to be used.

Fix step allocation when some CPUs are not available due to memory limits.
This happens when one step is active and using memory that blocks the
scheduling of another step on a portion of the CPUs needed. The new step
is now delayed rather than aborting with "Requested node configuration is
not available".

This reverts commit 3464295e.

Do not mark the node DOWN if its memory or tmp disk space is lower
than configured, just log it using debug message type

If a job is explicitly suspended, its priority is set to zero.
This resets the priority when requeued and also documents that
if the job is requeued (e.g. due to a node failure), then it
is placed in a held state.

Without this patch, the job's RunTime includes its RunTime from
before it's prior suspend (i.e. the job's full RunTime rather than
just the RunTime of the requeued job).

Hello,

I think I found another bug in the code (I'm using 2.6.3 but I checked the 2.6.5 and 14.03 versions and it's the same there).

In file sched/backfill/backfill.c:

1)
_add_reservation function, from lines 1172:

if (placed == true) {
        j = node_space[j].next;
        if (j && (end_reserve < node_space[j].end_time)) {
                /* insert end entry record */
                i = *node_space_recs;
                node_space[i].begin_time = end_reserve;
                node_space[i].end_time = node_space[j].end_time;
                node_space[j].end_time = end_reserve;
                node_space[i].avail_bitmap =
                        bit_copy(node_space[j].avail_bitmap);
                node_space[i].next = node_space[j].next;
                node_space[j].next = i;
                (*node_space_recs)++;
        }
        break;
}
I draw a picture with `node_space` state after 2 iterations (see attachment).

In case where the new reservation is fully inside another reservation,
then everything is OK.
But if the new reservation spans multiple existing reservations then the `end entry record` is not created.
This is because only the newly created `start entry record` is checked.

Easy fix would be to change the if into a loop, for example:

if (placed == true) {
    while((j = node_space[j].next) > 0) {
        if (end_reserve < node_space[j].end_time) {
           //same as above
           break;
        }
    }
    break;
}

You could also change line 612:
        node_space = xmalloc(sizeof(node_space_map_t) *
                             (max_backfill_job_cnt + 3));
To `(max_backfill_job_cnt * 2 + 1)` , since each reservation can add at most two entries (check at line 982 should never execute). At the moment, in a worst case scenario this only checks half of the max_backfill_job_cnt.

NOTE: However this is all based on the assumption, that it is not done on purpose to speed up the calculations and trading some of the accuracy (especially point 2).

errors.

This allows multiple job ids to hold, uhold, resume, suspend, release, etc.

Fix slurmstepd race condition when separate threads are reading and
modifying the job's environment, which can result in the slurmstepd failing
with an invalid memory reference. Observed at shutdown when trying
to run the task epilog and trying to read the env var:
SLURM_STEP_KILLED_MSG_NODE_ID

Without this patch, free() is called on a random memory location
(i.e. whatever is on the stack), which can result in slurmstepd
dying and a completed job not being purged in a timely fashion.

Fix race condition in authentication credential creation that could corrupt
memory. (NOTE: This race condition has existed since 2003 and would be
exceedingly rare.)

This is needed for job arrays with discontiguous task ID values
