scancel would treat a non-numeric argument as the name of jobs to be
    cancelled (a non-documented feature). Cancelling jobs by name now require
    the "--jobname=" command line argument.

burst_buffer/cray - Avoid "pre_run" operation if not using buffer (i.e.

Previous job state information was "PENDING" rather than "REQUEUED"
  for each job requeued due to a burst buffer error.

xfree is probably fine in this instance.

scheduling a Datawarp job.

The assoc_mgr lock needs to happen before the bb_state.bb_mutex.  One place
this could cause deadlock is from src/slurmctld/controller.c
_accounting_cluster_ready() which calls clusteracct_storage_g_cluster_tres
which inturn calls bb_g_job_set_tres_cnt which calls bb_p_job_set_tres_cnt
which will lock the bb_muxtex after the assoc_mgr is already locked.

Cache results of bit_set_count() calls.

Bug 3393.

The old logic would result in test16.4 failing some of the time.
  The failure was caused by the sattach command attaching to a
  job step before the original srun command received a
  RESPONSE_LAUNCH_TASKS message. That messsage  would then be sent
  to the salloc command. Since srun never got the message, it
  would hang. This change does not mark the job step as RUNNING
  until after the original srun gets sent the RESPONSE_LAUNCH_TASKS
  message and sattach requests are blocked until that time.

Identify the function where an error is generated.

This bug was introduced in commit 155a65a4
  A bad array index value was used.

This isn't a new bug, but logic in this area changed and Coverity
  reported it as a new problem (duplicate logic). The logic also
  incorrectly used a strstr() rather than strcmp() to find maching
  process names.

Fixing a resource leak reported by Coverity in the SPANK logic
  resulted in unmounting the spank object and losing locally
  stored information. Regression test7.11 broke with the new
  code. We'll need to live with the error reported by Coverity
  and keep SPANK running. This is a partial reversion of commit
  6fb3fea3

Regression tests 1.63 was sometimes failing due to a race condition.
  Specifically, the srun command was signalled prior to completion
  of the task launch process, so the "tasks_started" bitmap did not
  yet have it's bits set, resulting in the signal send request being
  silently ignored.

This sets a memory pointer to NULL after releasing its memory to
  avoid a duplicate xfree call. Bug introduced in commit
  07ae3e72

This is a fix to commit d470d0a9

No longer needed (as noted by comment) since 14.11 protocol support
is already removed.
