      In select/cons_res, correct logic when job removed from only some nodes. · eb3c1046
      jette authored
      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
      NODELIST(REASON)
        22606      work hostname     root  PD       0:00      1 (Resources)
        22604      work   sbatch     root   R       3:06      1 cn1

         CPUAlloc=16 CPUErr=0 CPUTot=16 CPULoad=0.05 Features=abc
         Gres=(null)
         NodeAddr=cn2 NodeHostName=cn2
         OS=Linux RealMemory=30000 Sockets=2 Boards=1
         State=IDLE ThreadsPerCore=1 TmpDisk=0 Weight=1

      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.

      Fix topology/tree logic when nodes defined in slurm.conf get re-ordered · 29df4c83
      Morris Jette authored
      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.
