burst_buffer/cray - Decrement job's prolog_running counter if pre_run fails.
bug 2621

If a job is no longer in configuring state, then clear the prolog_running
  counter on slurmctld restart or reconfigure.
bug 2621

When determining when a pending job will be able to start, rather
  than testing after removing each running job and trying to schedule
  the pending jobs, remove multiple jobs that all end about the
  same time before testing. This reduces the number of calls to
  the job placement logic, which is time consuming.

Fix for job "--contiguous" option that could cause job allocation/launch
    failure or slurmctld crash.

constraints mattered in a job.

    Details include:
    A job doesn't request memory but the system is running
    with CR_*MEMORY with no default memory limit and the job requests nodes
    with features of different sizes.  Previously the order of constraints
    mattered where the smaller memory node would need to be requested first
    or the job would fail.

Previous logic would get an account and/or QOS time limit and use
  that value to overwrite the incoming RPC's NO_VAL value, which
  would change a job's time limit when changing an unrelated
  field (e.g. priority, QOS, etc.).

bug 2609

Fix backfill scheduler race condition that could cause invalid pointer in
    select/cons_res plugin. Bug introduced in 15.08.9, commit:
    efd9d35e

The scenario is as follows
1. Backfill scheduler is running, then releases locks
2. Main scheduling loop starts a job "A"
3. Backfill scheduler resumes, finds job "A" in its queue and
   resets it's partition pointer.
4. Job "A" completes and tries to remove resource allocation record
   from select/cons_res data structure, but fails to find it because
   it is looking in the table for the wrong partition.
5. Job "A" record gets purged from slurmctld
6. Select/cons_res plugin attempts to operate on resource allocation
   data structure, finds pointer into the now purged data structure
   of job "A" and aborts or gets SEGV

canceled while launching.

Rename partition configuration from "Shared" to "OverSubscribe". Rename
    salloc, sbatch, srun option from "--shared" to "--oversubscribe". The old
    options will continue to function. Output field names also changed in
    scontrol, sinfo, squeue, and sview.

Power/cray: Don't specify NID list to Cray APIs. If any of those nodes are
    not in a ready state, the API returned an error for ALL nodes rather than
    valid data for nodes in ready state.

and retries are done making the error message a little misleading.

Update a node's socket and cores per socket counts as needed after a node
    boot to reflect configuration changes which can occur on KNL processors.
    Note that the node's total core count must not change, only the distribution
    of cores across varying socket counts (KNL NUMA nodes treated as sockets by
    Slurm).

rollup would effectively never run again.

bug 2575

and sort of bug 2596

Remove the SchedulerParameters option of "assoc_limit_continue", making it
    the default value. Add option of "assoc_limit_stop". If "assoc_limit_stop"
    is set and a job cannot start due to association limits, then do not attempt
    to initiate any lower priority jobs in that partition. Setting this can
    decrease system throughput and utlization, but avoid potentially starving
    larger jobs by preventing them from launching indefinitely.

launching a job, instead the job will fail and drain the node if the env
isn't loaded normally.

with the slurmdbd.

make the wait to return data only hit after 500 nodes and configurable
based on the TcpTimeout value.

There was a subtle bug in how tasks were bound to CPUs which could result
in an "infinite loop" error. The problem was various socket/core/threasd
calculations were based upon the resources allocated to a step rather than
all resources on the node and rounding errors could occur. Consider for
example a node with 2 sockets, 6 cores per socket and 2 threads per core.
On the idle node, a job requesting 14 CPUs is submitted. That job would
be allocted 4 cores on the first socket and 3 cores on the second socket.
The old logic would get the number of sockets for the job at 2 and the
number of cores at 7, then calculate the number of cores per socket at
7/2 or 3 (rounding down to an integer). The logic layouting out tasks
would bind the first 3 cores on each socket to the job then not find any
remaining cores, report the "infinite loop" error to the user, and run
the job without one of the expected cores. The problem gets even worse
when there are some allocated cores on a node. In a more extreme case,
a job might be allocated 6 cores on one socket and 1 core on a second
socket. In that case, 3 of that job's cores would be unused.
bug 2502

This is a revision to commit 1ed38f26
The root problem is that a pthread is passed an argument which is
a pointer to a variable on the stack. If that variable is over-written,
the signal number recieved will be garbage, and that bad signal
number will be interpretted by srun to possible abort the request.

The previous commit obviously fixed a problem, but introduced a different
set of problems. This will be pursued later, perhaps in version 16.05.
