Without this fix, jobs that should be initiated by the backfill
scheduler based upon the preemption of other jobs will not be
started.

cnode does not have a job running on it do not resume the block.

Select/cons_res - If the job request specified --ntasks-per-socket and the
allocation using is cores, then pack the tasks onto the sockets up to the
specified value. Previously it would ignore the ntasks-per-socket
parameter and distribute tasks across sockets

--enable-debug.

Counts would previously go negative as jobs terminate and decrement from
a base value of zero

to EINTR when something wrong happened between the open call and
its return. By ensuring that Slurm retries on such errors, we can
better tolerate Network file systems errors at launch time.

If job involved in dependency completes and is purged the logic
used to test for circular dependencies can use the invalid pointer
and generate an invalid memory reference before the pointer is
cleared from the dependency list data structure.

This bug was introduced in 2.5.2 for the case where a GPU count was
configured, but without device files. Unfortunately it left the
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable unset if GPUs were configured,
but the job did not request any of them.

This eliminates the need for libnrt.so on the head node.

at least 3.5.0.  This avoids a stack overflow when running jobs on
more than 120k nodes.

I run into a problem with slurm-2.5.1 that IDLE nodes can not be
allocated to jobs. This can be reproduced as follows:

First, submit a job with --no-kill option (I have SLURM_EXCLUSIVE set to
allocate nodes exclusively by default). Then set one of the nodes
allocated to the job(cn2) to state DOWN:

srun: error: Node failure on cn2
srun: error: Node failure on cn2
srun: error: cn2: task 0: Killed
^Csrun: interrupt (one more within 1 sec to abort)
srun: task 1: running
srun: task 0: exited abnormally
^Csrun: sending Ctrl-C to job 22605.0
srun: Job step aborted: Waiting up to 2 seconds for job step to finish.
srun: Force Terminated job step 22605.0

Then change state of the node to IDLE again. But it can not be allocated
to jobs:

srun: job 22606 queued and waiting for resources

  JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER  ST       TIME  NODES

I traced and located the problem in select/cons_res. The call sequence
is:

slurmctld/node_mgr.c: update_node() =>
slurmctld/job_mgr.c: kill_running_job_by_node_name() =>
excise_node_from_job() =>
plugins/select/cons_res/select_cons_res.c: select_p_job_resized() =>
_rm_job_from_one_node() => _build_row_bitmaps() =>
common/job_resources: remove_job_from_cores()

If there are other jobs running in the partition, the partition row
bitmap will not be set correctly. In the example above, before
_build_row_bitmaps(), output of _dump_part() is:

[2013-01-19T13:24:56+08:00] part:work rows:1 pri:1
[2013-01-19T13:24:56+08:00]   row0: num_jobs 2: bitmap: 16,32-63

after setting the node down, output of _dump_part() is

[2013-01-19T13:24:56+08:00] part:work rows:1 pri:1
[2013-01-19T13:24:56+08:00]   row0: num_jobs 2: bitmap: 16,32-47

Cores of cn2 are not marked as available. Instead, cores of other nodes
are released. When another job requires the node cn2, the following log
message appears:

[2013-01-19T13:25:03+08:00] debug3: cons_res: _vns: node cn2 busy

I do not understand the design of select/cons_res well and I do not know
how to fix this. But it seems that _build_row_bitmaps() should not be
called, since the job is not removed totally, but only one of the nodes
released.

From Chris Holmes, HP:
After several days of brainstorming and debugging, I have identified
a bug in SLURM 2.5.0rc2, related to the 'tree' topology. It was so
early in the execution of the whole SLURM machinery that it took me
some time to figure it out (say, 100 or 200 jobs showing the issue,
with more or less debugging levels increased and extra
instrumentation, with sometimes an uncertain reliability)...

For every “switch” a bitmap of nodes (seen down by the switch) is
built as the topology is discovered through 'topology.conf'.

There is code in read_config.c, executed when the SLURM control
daemon starts, that reorders the nodes (according to their hostname
by default), while the switches table (ie the bitmaps) has already
being built. To reorder the nodes means that the bitmaps of the switches become wrong.
