      Modify slurm_send_only_node_msg() to catch issues with socket. · 06582da8
      Tim Wickberg authored
      There are subtle issues involved in treating a TCP transmission
      as a unidirectional message delivery layer.
      
      The original code path looks like: connect(), write(), close().
      But Linux handles the write() and close() asynchronously behind the
      scenes, and does not block until that write() has been ACK'd by the
      remote end. So the write() and close() may succeed, even with data
      still in flight. A communication error - and message loss - would
      have been silently ignored, leading to unreliable message transmission.
      
      Worse yet, one side of the connection would believe it sent the message,
      while the receive side swears it never saw the packets. This leads to
      infrequent and yet seemingly impossible data loss, and a very tough
      bug to chase down.
      
      This teardown code tries to force the connection to shut down in an
      orderly manner, giving Slurm a chance to catch a connection problem
      and the upstream calling path an opportunity to retransmit.
      
      This teardown code is based on an approach described in Section 7.5
      of "UNIX Network Programming" Volume 1 (Third Edition), specifically
      the subsection regarding SO_LINGER. (And also covers why SO_LINGER is
      not sufficent to prevent this issue.)
      
      Bug 5164.

      Fix job array preemption in backfill scheduling. · 5efab599
      Marshall Garey authored
      Previously only a single task of a job array could preempt during
      backfill scheduling. This allows multiple tasks to preempt and have
      resources reserved in backfill.
      
      Bug 5405.
