Thread names can only be 16 characters long, plus we already know that the threads are from the slurmctld.

If node_feature/knl_cray plugin is configured and a GresType of "hbm"
is not defined, then add it the the GRES tables. Without this, references
to a GRES of "hbm" (either by a user or Slurm's internal logic) will
generate error messages.
bug 2708

With slurm-15.08.10, we're seeing occasional segfaults in slurmstepd. The logs point to the following line: slurm-15.08.10/src/slurmd/slurmstepd/mgr.c:2612

On that line, _get_primary_group() is accessing the results of getpwnam_r():
    *gid = pwd0->pw_gid;

If getpwnam_r() cannot find a matching password record, it will set the result (pwd0) to NULL, but still return 0. When the pointer is accessed, it will cause a segfault.

Checking the result variable (pwd0) to determine success should fix the issue.

Note that Slurm can not support heterogenous core counts for each
NUMA nodes.
bug 2704

I would like to mention a problem which seems to be a calculation bug of
used_cores in slurm version 15.08.7

If a node is divided into 2 partitions using MaxCPUsPerNode like this
slurm.conf configuration

    NodeName=n1 CPUs=20
    PartitionName=cpu NodeName=n1    MaxCPUsPerNode=16
    PartitionName=gpu NodeName=n1    MaxCPUsPerNode=4

I run into a strange scheduling situation.
The situation occurs after a fresh restart of the slurmctld daemon.

I start jobs one by one:

case 1
    systemctl restart slurmctld.service
    sbatch -n 16 -p cpu cpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh

    => Problem now: The gpu jobs are kept in PENDING state.

This picture changes if I start the jobs this way

case 2
    systemctl restart slurmctld.service
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    scancel <gpu job_id>
    sbatch -n 16 -p cpu cpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh
    sbatch -n 1  -p gpu gpu.sh

and all jobs are running fine.

By looking into the code I figured out a wrong calculation of 'used_cores' in
function _allocate_sc()

plugins/select/cons_res/job_test.c

_allocate_sc(...)
...
         for (c = core_begin; c < core_end; c++) {
                 i = (uint16_t) (c - core_begin) / cores_per_socket;

                 if (bit_test(core_map, c)) {
                         free_cores[i]++;
                         free_core_count++;
                 } else {
                         used_cores[i]++;
                 }
                 if (part_core_map && bit_test(part_core_map, c))
                         used_cpu_array[i]++;

This part of code seems to work only if the part_core_map exists for a
partition or on a completly free node. But in case 1 there is no
part_core_map for gpu created yet. Starting a gpu  the core_map contains
4 cores left from the cpu job. Now all non free cores of the cpu partion
are counted as used cores in the gpu partition and this condition will
match in the next code parts

    free_cpu_count + used_cpu_count >  job_ptr->part_ptr->max_cpus_per_node

what is definitely wrong.

As soon as a part_core_map appears, means a gpu job was started on a free
node (case 2) then there is no problem at all.

To get case 1 work I changed the above code to the following and all works
fine:

         for (c = core_begin; c < core_end; c++) {
                 i = (uint16_t) (c - core_begin) / cores_per_socket;

                if (bit_test(core_map, c)) {
                         free_cores[i]++;
                         free_core_count++;
                 } else {
                     if (part_core_map && bit_test(part_core_map, c)){
                         used_cpu_array[i]++;
                         used_cores[i]++;
                     }
                 }

I am not sure this code change is really good, but it fixes my problem.

RHEL6 requires resetting the processes "dumpable" flag after all
seteuid calls complete in order to generate a core file.

Do not attempt to power down a node which has never responded if the
    slurmctld daemon restarts without state.

commit 17a9d97e.

they are in a step.

1) step_ptr->step_layout has already been dereferenced plenty of times.

2) Can't possible have rpc_version >= MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION and < 8,
   this code is dead.

Issue the "node_reinit" command on all nodes identified in a single
   call to capmc. Only if that fails will individual nodes be
   restarted using multiple pthreads. This improves efficiency
   while retaining the ability to operate on individual nodes
   when some failure occurs.
