This file describes changes in recent versions of Slurm. It primarily
documents those changes that are of interest to users and administrators.

* Changes in Slurm 23.02.5
==========================
 -- Add the JobId to debug() messages indicating when cpus_per_task/mem_per_cpu
    or pn_min_cpus are being automatically adjusted.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.2 that caused slurmctld -R to crash on startup if
    a node features plugin is configured.
 -- Fix and prevent reoccurring reservations from overlapping.
 -- job_container/tmpfs - Avoid attempts to share BasePath between nodes.
 -- Change the log message warning for rate limited users from verbose to info.
 -- With CR_Cpu_Memory, fix node selection for jobs that request gres and
    --mem-per-cpu.
 -- Fix a regression from 22.05.7 in which some jobs were allocated too few
    nodes, thus overcommitting cpus to some tasks.
 -- Fix a job being stuck in the completing state if the job ends while the
    primary controller is down or unresponsive and the backup controller has
    not yet taken over.
 -- Fix slurmctld segfault when a node registers with a configured CpuSpecList
    while slurmctld configuration has the node without CpuSpecList.
 -- Fix cloud nodes getting stuck in POWERED_DOWN+NO_RESPOND state after not
    registering by ResumeTimeout.
* Changes in Slurm 23.02.4
==========================
 -- Fix sbatch return code when --wait is requested on a job array.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - avoid segfault when running with old libcxi.
 -- Avoid slurmctld segfault when specifying AccountingStorageExternalHost.
 -- Fix collected GPUUtilization values for acct_gather_profile plugins.
 -- Fix slurmrestd handling of job hold/release operations.
 -- Make spank S_JOB_ARGV item value hold the requested command argv instead of
    the srun --bcast value when --bcast requested (only in local context).
 -- Fix step running indefinitely when slurmctld takes more than MessageTimeout
    to respond. Now, slurmctld will cancel the step when detected, preventing
    following steps from getting stuck waiting for resources to be released.
 -- Fix regression to make job_desc.min_cpus accurate again in job_submit when
    requesting a job with --ntasks-per-node.
 -- scontrol - Permit changes to StdErr and StdIn for pending jobs.
 -- scontrol - Reset std{err,in,out} when set to empty string.
 -- slurmrestd - mark environment as a required field for job submission
    descriptions.
 -- slurmrestd - avoid dumping null in OpenAPI schema required fields.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - avoid rejecting valid memory_per_node formatted as
    dictionary provided with a job description.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - avoid rejecting valid memory_per_cpu formatted as
    dictionary provided with a job description.
 -- slurmrestd - Return HTTP error code 404 when job query fails.
 -- slurmrestd - Add return schema to error response to job and license query.
 -- Fix handling of ArrayTaskThrottle in backfill.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.2 when checking gres state on slurmctld startup or
    reconfigure. Gres changes in the configuration were not updated on slurmctld
    startup. On startup or reconfigure, these messages were present in the log:
    "error: Attempt to change gres/gpu Count".
 -- Fix potential double count of gres when dealing with limits.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - support alternate traffic class names with "TC_"
    prefix.
 -- scrontab - Fix cutting off the final character of quoted variables.
 -- Fix slurmstepd segfault when ContainerPath is not set in oci.conf
 -- Change the log message warning for rate limited users from debug to verbose.
 -- Fixed an issue where jobs requesting licenses were incorrectly rejected.
 -- smail - Fix issues where e-mails at job completion were not being sent.
 -- scontrol/slurmctld - fix comma parsing when updating a reservation's nodes.
 -- cgroup/v2 - Avoid capturing log output for ebpf when constraining devices,
    as this can lead to inadvertent failure if the log buffer is too small.
 -- Fix --gpu-bind=single binding tasks to wrong gpus, leading to some gpus
    having more tasks than they should and other gpus being unused.
 -- Fix main scheduler loop not starting after failover to backup controller.
 -- Added error message when attempting to use sattach on batch or extern steps.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02 that causes slurmstepd to crash when srun requests
    more than TreeWidth nodes in a step and uses the pmi2 or pmix plugin.
 -- Reject job ArrayTaskThrottle update requests from unprivileged users.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - populate description fields of property objects in
    generated OpenAPI specifications where defined.
 -- slurmstepd - Avoid segfault caused by ContainerPath not being terminated by
    '/' in oci.conf.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - Change v0.0.39_job_info response to tag exit_code
    field as being complex instead of only an unsigned integer.
 -- job_container/tmpfs - Fix %h and %n substitution in BasePath where %h was
    substituted as the NodeName instead of the hostname, and %n was substituted
    as an empty string.
 -- Fix regression where --cpu-bind=verbose would override TaskPluginParam.
 -- scancel - Fix --clusters/-M for federations. Only filtered jobs (e.g. -A,
    -u, -p, etc.) from the specified clusters will be canceled, rather than all
    jobs in the federation. Specific jobids will still be routed to the origin
    cluster for cancellation.
* Changes in Slurm 23.02.3
==========================
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.2 that ignored the partition DefCpuPerGPU setting
    on the first pass of scheduling a job requesting --gpus --ntasks.
 -- openapi/dbv0.0.39/users - If a default account update failed, resulting in a
    no-op, the query returned success without any warning. Now a warning is sent
    back to the client that the default account wasn't modified.
 -- srun - fix issue creating regular and interactive steps because
    *_PACK_GROUP* environment variables were incorrectly set on non-HetSteps.
 -- Fix dynamic nodes getting stuck in allocated states when reconfiguring.
 -- Avoid job write lock when nodes are dynamically added/removed.
 -- burst_buffer/lua - allow jobs to get scheduled sooner after
    slurm_bb_data_in completes.
 -- mpi/pmix - fix regression introduced in 23.02.2 which caused PMIx shmem
    backed files permissions to be incorrect.
 -- api/submit - fix memory leaks when submission of batch regular jobs or batch
    HetJobs fails (response data is a return code).
 -- openapi/v0.0.39 - fix memory leak in _job_post_het_submit().
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.2 that set the SLURM_NTASKS environment variable
    in sbatch jobs from --ntasks-per-node when --ntasks was not requested.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02 that caused sbatch jobs to set the wrong number
    of tasks when requesting --ntasks-per-node without --ntasks, and also
    requesting one of the following options: --sockets-per-node,
    --cores-per-socket, --threads-per-core (or --hint=nomultithread), or
    -B,--extra-node-info.
 -- Fix double counting suspended job counts on nodes when reconfiguring, which
    prevented nodes with suspended jobs from being powered down or rebooted
    once the jobs completed.
 -- Fix backfill not scheduling jobs submitted with --prefer and --constraint
    properly.
 -- Avoid possible slurmctld segfault caused by race condition with already
    completed slurmdbd_conn connections.
 -- Slurmdbd.conf checks included conf files for 0600 permissions
 -- slurmrestd - fix regression "oversubscribe" fields were removed from job
    descriptions and submissions from v0.0.39 end points.
 -- accounting_storage/mysql - Query for indiviual QOS correctly when you have
    more than 10.
 -- Add warning message about ignoring --tres-per-tasks=license when used
    on a step.
 -- sshare - Fix command to work when using priority/basic.
 -- Avoid loading cli_filter plugins outside of salloc/sbatch/scron/srun. This
    fixes a number of missing symbol problems that can manifest for executables
    linked against libslurm (and not libslurmfull).
 -- Allow cloud_reg_addrs to update dynamically registered node's addrs on
    subsequent registrations.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - Fix hetjob components being assigned different vnis.
 -- Revert a change in 22.05.5 that prevented tasks from sharing a core if
    --cpus-per-task > threads per core, but caused incorrect accounting and cpu
    binding. Instead, --ntasks-per-core=1 may be requested to prevent tasks from
    sharing a core.
 -- Correctly send assoc_mgr lock to mcs plugin.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02 leading to error() messages being sent at INFO
    instead of ERR in syslog.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - Fix bad instant-on data due to incorrect parsing of
    data from jackaloped.
 -- Fix TresUsageIn[Tot|Ave] calculation for gres/gpumem and gres/gpuutil.
 -- Avoid unnecessary gres/gpumem and gres/gpuutil TRES position lookups.
 -- Fix issue in the gpu plugins where gpu frequencies would only be set if both
    gpu memory and gpu frequencies were set, while one or the other suffices.

 -- Fix updating a job with a ReqNodeList greater than the job's node count.
 -- Fix inadvertent permission denied error for --task-prolog and --task-epilog
    with filesystems mounted with root_squash.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - remove the unused vni_pids option.
 -- Fix missing detailed cpu and gres information in json/yaml output from
    scontrol, squeue and sinfo.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02 that causes a failure to allocate job steps that
    request --cpus-per-gpu and gpus with types.
 -- sacct - when printing PLANNED time, use end time instead of start time for
    jobs cancelled before they started.
 -- Fix potentially waiting indefinitely for a defunct process to finish,
    which affects various scripts including Prolog and Epilog. This could have
    various symptoms, such as jobs getting stuck in a completing state.
 -- Hold the job with "(Reservation ... invalid)" state reason if the
    reservation is not usable by the job.
 -- Fix losing list of reservations on job when updating job with list of
    reservations and restarting the controller.
 -- Fix nodes resuming after down and drain state update requests from
    clients older than 23.02.
 -- Fix advanced reservation creation/update when an association that should
    have access to it is composed with partition(s).
 -- auth/jwt - Fix memory leak.
 -- sbatch - Added new --export=NIL option.
 -- Fix job layout calculations with --ntasks-per-gpu, especially when --nodes
    has not been explicitly provided.
 -- Fix X11 forwarding for jobs submitted from the slurmctld host.
 -- When a job requests --no-kill and one or more nodes fail during the job,
    fix subsequent job steps unable to use some of the remaining resources
    allocated to the job.
 -- Fix shared gres allocation when using --tres-per-task with tasks that span
    multiple sockets.
* Changes in Slurm 23.02.2
==========================
 -- Fix regression introduced with the migration to interfaces which caused
    sshare to core dump. Sshare now initialized the priority context correctly
    when calculating with PriorityFlags=NO_FAIR_TREE.
 -- Fix IPMI DCMI sensor initialization.
 -- For the select/cons_tres plugin, improve the best effort GPU to core
    binding, for requests with per job task count (-n) and GPU (--gpus)
    specification.
 -- scrontab - don't update the cron job tasks if the whole crontab file is
    left untouched after opening it with "scrontab -e".
 -- mpi/pmix - avoid crashing when running PMIx v5.0 branch with shmem support.
 -- Fix building switch topology after a reconfig with the correct nodes.

    state is DOWN or DRAIN.
 -- Fix slurmd running tasks before RPC Prolog is run.
 -- Fix slurmd deadlock iff the controller were to give a bad alias_list.
 -- slurmrestd - correctly process job submission field "exclusive" with boolean
    True or False.
 -- slurmrestd - correctly process job submission field "exclusive" with strings
    "true" or "false".
 -- slurmctld/step_mgr - prevent non-allocatable steps from decrementing values
    that weren't previously incremented when trying to allocate them.
 -- auth/jwt - Fix memory leak in slurmctld with 'scontrol token'.
 -- Fix shared gres (shard/mps) leak when using --tres-per-task
 -- Fix sacctmgr segfault when listing accounts with coordinators.
 -- slurmrestd - improve error logging when client connections experience
    polling errors.
 -- slurmrestd - improve handling of sockets in different states of shutdown to
    avoid infinite poll() loop causing a thread to max CPU usage until process
    is killed.
 -- slurmrestd - avoid possible segfault caused by race condition of already
    completed connections.
 -- mpi/cray_shasta - Fix PMI shared secret for hetjobs.
 -- gpu/oneapi - Fix CPU affinity handling.
 -- Fix dynamic nodes powering up when already up after adding/deleting nodes
    when using power_save logic.
 -- slurmrestd - Add support for setting max connections.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - fix sacct --json matching associations from a
    different cluster.
 -- Fix segfault when clearing reqnodelist of a pending job.
 -- Fix memory leak of argv when submitting jobs via slurmrestd or CLI commands.
 -- slurmrestd - correct miscalculation of job argument count that could cause
    memory leak when job submission fails.
 -- slurmdbd - add warning on startup if max_allowed_packet is too small.
 -- gpu/nvml - Remove E-cores from NVML's cpu affinity bitmap when
    "allow_ecores" is not set in SlurmdParameters.
 -- Fix regression from 23.02.0rc1 causing a FrontEnd slurmd to assert fail on
    startup and don't be configured with the appropriate port.
 -- Fix dynamic nodes not being sorted and not being included in topology,
    which resulted in suboptimal dynamic node selection for jobs.
 -- Fix slurmstepd crash due to potential division by zero (SIGFPE) in certain
    edge-cases using the PMIx plugin.
 -- Fix issue with PMIx HetJob requests where certain use-cases would end up
    with communication errors due to incorrect PMIx hostname info setup.
 -- openapi/v0.0.39 - revert regression in job update requests to accept job
    description for changes instead of requiring job description in "job" field.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 that caused a step to crash with a bad
    --gpu-bind=single request.
 -- job_container/tmpfs - skip more in-depth attempt to clean up the base path
    when not required.  This prevents unhelpful, and possibly misleading, debug2
    messages when not using the new "shared" mode.
 -- gpu/nvml - Fix gpu usage when graphics processes are running on the gpu.
 -- slurmrestd - fix regression where "exclusive" field was removed from job
    descriptions and submissions.
 -- Fix issue where requeued jobs had bad gres allocations leading to gres not
    being deallocated at the end of the job, preventing other jobs from using
    those resources.
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 which caused incorrect values for
    SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE when the job requests --ntasks-per-node and --exclusive
    or --ntasks-per-core=1 (or CR_ONE_TASK_PER_CORE) and without requesting
    --ntasks. SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE is used by mpirun, so this regression
    caused mpirun to launch the wrong number of tasks and to sometimes fail to
    launch tasks.
 -- Prevent jobs running on shards from being canceled on slurmctld restart.
 -- Fix SPANK prolog and epilog hooks that rely on slurm_init() for access to
    internal Slurm API calls.

    ContainerPath is not configured.
 -- Removed zero padding for numeric values in container spool directory names.
 -- Avoid creating an unused task-4294967295 directory in container spooldir.
 -- Cleanup container step directories at step completion.
 -- sacctmgr - Fix segfault when printing empty tres.
 -- srun - fix communication issue that prevented slurmctld from connecting to
    an srun running outside of a compute node.
* Changes in Slurm 23.02.1
==========================
 -- job_container/tmpfs - cleanup job container even if namespace mount is
    already unmounted.

 -- Add cgroup.conf EnableControllers option for cgroup/v2.
 -- Get correct cgroup root to allow slurmd to run in containers like Docker.
 -- Fix "(null)" cluster name in SLURM_WORKING_CLUSTER env.
 -- slurmctld - add missing PrivateData=jobs check to step ContainerID lookup
    requests originated from 'scontrol show step container-id=<id>' or certain
    scrun operations when container state can't be directly queried.
 -- Automatically sort the TaskPlugin list reverse-alphabetically. This
    addresses an issue where cpu masks were reset if task/affinity was listed
    before task/cgroup on cgroup/v2 systems with Linux kernel < 6.2.
 -- Fix some failed terminate job requests from a 23.02 slurmctld to a 22.05 or
    21.08 slurmd.

    when using parentheses at the beginning of square brackets in a feature
    request, for example: "feat1&[(feat2|feat3)]".
 -- Fix a job being scheduled on nodes that do not match a feature request that
    uses parentheses inside of brackets and requests additional features outside
    of brackets, for example: "feat1&[feat2|(feat3|feat4)]".
 -- Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 which made --gres-flags=enforce-binding no
    longer enforce optimal core-gpu job placement.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - add option to disable VNI allocation per-job.

    included in the RPM packages.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - avoid erroring on unknown association id.
 -- data_parser/v0.0.39 - avoid fatal while dumping TRES values.
 -- Improve error message for using --cpus-per-gpus without any GPUs.
 -- switch/hpe_slingshot - fix rolling upgrades from 22.05 to 23.02

    cgroups after jobs have ended.
 -- Rebuild the prepacked buf going to the slurmstepd if TRES changed.
 -- Add new 'make clean-contrib' target to build system to clean contribs dir.
 -- Treat newlines as delimeters for hostlist_create(). (This is used internally
    by "scontrol show hostlist" and for handling SLURM_JOB_NODELIST.)
 -- scontrol - Print "Invalid job id specified" for 'scontrol show step ...'
    when the job does not exist, rather than "Unexpected error".
 -- Handle mismatched TRES count from the slurmstepd's instead of fatal()'ing.

    unset after parsing.
 -- topology/tree - Add new TopologyParam=SwitchAsNodeRank option to reorder
    nodes based on switch layout. This can be useful if the naming convention
    for the nodes does not natually map to the network topology.
 -- openapi/v0.0.38 - avoid signed math errors while dumping node resources.
 -- openapi/dbv0.0.39 - avoid error while dumping account coordinators.

 -- Fix the job prolog not running for jobs with the interactive step
    (salloc jobs with LaunchParameters=use_interactive_step set in slurm.conf)
    that were scheduled on powered down nodes. The prolog not running also
    broke job_container/tmpfs, pam_slurm_adopt, and x11 forwarding.
 -- swich/hpe_slingshot - fix issues using 22.05 commands with 23.02 slurmd.
 -- swith/hpe_slingshot - avoid slurmd segfault if there is a protocol error.
 -- task/affinity - fix slurmd segfault when request launch task requests of
    type "--cpu-bind=[map,mask]_cpu:<list>" have no <list> provided.
 -- salloc/sbatch/srun - error out if "--cpu-bind=[map,mask]_cpu:<list>" fails
    to extract a list of cpus.

    still mounted.
 -- Fix regression in rc1 causing sacctmgr to segfault when printing unrelated
    fields.
 -- jobcomp/kafka - don't use the purge API if librdkafka < v1.0.0.
 -- Change shown start time of pending array job to be start time of earliest
    pending array task.
 -- job_container/tmpfs - ensure that step_ns_fd is closed before cleaning up
    the namespace.

 -- Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 which caused slurmctld to segfault when
    gres is added or removed in the configuration.
 -- Removed the default setting for GpuFreqDef. If unset, no attempt to change
    the GPU frequency will be made if --gpu-freq is not set for the step.
 -- Fixed GpuFreqDef option. When set in slurm.conf, it will be used if
    --gpu-freq was not explicitly set by the job step.
 -- Update database index for usage tables used for archive and purge.
 -- Fix configure script on FreeBSD.
* Changes in Slurm 23.02.0rc1
=============================
 -- Make scontrol reconfigure and sending a SIGHUP to the slurmctld behave the
    same. If you were using SIGHUP as a 'lighter' scontrol reconfigure to rotate
    logs please update your scripts to use SIGUSR2 instead.
 -- Add Account and QOS name type specifications for sprio output formatting.
 -- openapi/[db]v0.0.36 - plugins have been removed.

    over locally reconstructing an RSA256 key file.
 -- auth/jwt - add optional AuthAltParameters field "userclaimfield=" to allow
    overriding "sun" claim to site specific field.
 -- scontrol - Requested TRES and allocated TRES will now always be printed when
    showing jobs, instead of one TRES output that was either the requested or
    allocated.

==========================
 -- Allocate correct number of sockets when requesting gres and running with
    CR_SOCKET*.
 -- Fix handling of --prefer for job arrays.
 -- Fix regression in 22.05.5 that causes some jobs that request
    --ntasks-per-node to be incorrectly rejected.
 -- Fix slurmctld crash when a step requests fewer tasks than nodes.

 -- slurmrestd - avoid possible race condition which would cause slurmrestd to
    silently no longer accept new client connections.
 -- Fix GPU setup on CRAY systems when using the CRAY_CUDA_MPS environment
    variable. GPUs are now correctly detected in such scenarios.
 -- Fix the job prolog not running for jobs with the interactive step
    (salloc jobs with LaunchParameters=use_interactive_step set in slurm.conf)
    that were scheduled on powered down nodes. The prolog not running also
    broke job_container/tmpfs, pam_slurm_adopt, and x11 forwarding.

 -- Fix return code from salloc when the job is revoked prior to executing user
    command.
 -- Fix minor memory leak when dealing with gres with multiple files.
 -- Fix printing for no_consume gres in scontrol show job.
 -- sinfo - Fix truncation of very large values when outputting memory.
 -- Fix multi-node step launch failure when nodes in the controller aren't in
    natural order. This can happen with inconsistent node naming (such as
    node15 and node052) or with dynamic nodes which can register in any order.
 -- job_container/tmpfs - Prevent reading the plugin config multiple times per
    step.
 -- Fix wrong attempt of gres binding for gres w/out cores defined.
 -- Fix build to work with '--without-shared-libslurm' configure flag.
 -- Fix power_save mode when repeatedly configuring too fast.

 -- Fix sacct -I option.
 -- Prevent jobs from being scheduled on future nodes.
 -- Fix memory leak in slurmd happening on reconfigure when CPUSpecList used.
 -- Fix sacctmgr show event [min|max]cpus.
 -- Fix regression in 22.05.0rc1 where a prolog or epilog that redirected stdout
    to a file could get erroneously killed, resulting in job launch failure
    (for the prolog) and the node being drained.
 -- cgroup/v1 - Make a static variable to remove potential redundant checking
    for if the system has swap or not.
 -- cgroup/v1 - Add check for swap when running OOM check after task
    termination.
 -- job_submit/lua - add --prefer support
 -- cgroup/v1 - fix issue where sibling steps could incorrectly be accounted as
    OOM when step memory limit was the same as the job allocation. Detect OOM
    events via memory.oom_control oom_kill when exposed by the kernel instead of
    subscribing notifications with eventfd.
 -- Fix accounting of oom_kill events in cgroup/v2 and task/cgroup.
 -- Fix segfault when slurmd reports less than configured gres with links after
    a slurmctld restart.

 -- Fix TRES counts after node is deleted using scontrol.
 -- sched/backfill - properly handle multi-reservation HetJobs.
 -- sched/backfill - don't try to start HetJobs after system state change.
 -- openapi/v0.0.38 - add submission of job->prefer value.
 -- slurmdbd - become SlurmUser at the same point in logic as slurmctld to match
    plugins initialization behavior. This avoids a fatal error when starting
    slurmdbd as root and root cannot start the auth or accounting_storage
    plugins (for example, if root cannot read the jwt key).
 -- Fix memory leak when attempting to update a job's features with invalid
    features.
 -- Fix occasional slurmctld crash or hang in backfill due to invalid pointers.
 -- Fix segfault on Cray machines if cgroup cpuset is used in cgroup/v1.
