Description:

This update for slurm fixes the following issues:

Updated to 20.11.7

Summary of new features:

  • CVE-2021-31215: Fixed a remote code execution as SlurmUser (bsc#1186024).
  • slurmd - handle configless failures gracefully instead of hanging indefinitely.
  • select/cons_tres - fix Dragonfly topology not selecting nodes in the same leaf switch when it should as well as requests with *-switches option.
  • Fix issue where certain step requests wouldn't run if the first node in the job allocation was full and there were idle resources on other nodes in the job allocation.
  • Fix deadlock issue with <Prolog|Epilog>Slurmctld.
  • torque/qstat - fix printf error message in output.
  • When adding associations or wckeys avoid checking multiple times a user or cluster name.
  • Fix wrong jobacctgather information on a step on multiple nodes due to timeouts sending its the information gathered on its node.
  • Fix missing xstrdup which could result in slurmctld segfault on array jobs.
  • Fix security issue in PrologSlurmctld and EpilogSlurmctld by always prepending SPANK_ to all user-set environment variables. CVE-2021-31215.
  • Fix sacct assert with the --qos option.
  • Use pkg-config --atleast-version instead of --modversion for systemd.
  • common/fd - fix getsockopt() call in fd_get_socket_error().
  • Properly handle the return from fd_get_socket_error() in _conn_readable().
  • cons_res - Fix issue where running jobs were not taken into consideration when creating a reservation.
  • Avoid a deadlock between job_list for_each and assoc QOS_LOCK.
  • Fix TRESRunMins usage for partition qos on restart/reconfig.
  • Fix printing of number of tasks on a completed job that didn't request tasks.
  • Fix updating GrpTRESRunMins when decrementing job time is bigger than it.
  • Make it so we handle multithreaded allocations correctly when doing --exclusive or --core-spec allocations.
  • Fix incorrect round-up division in _pick_step_cores
  • Use appropriate math to adjust cpu counts when --ntasks-per-core=1.
  • cons_tres - Fix consideration of power downed nodes.
  • cons_tres - Fix DefCpuPerGPU, increase cpus-per-task to match with gpus-per-task * cpus-per-gpu.
  • Fix under-cpu memory auto-adjustment when MaxMemPerCPU is set.
  • Make it possible to override CR_CORE_DEFAULT_DIST_BLOCK.
  • Perl API - fix retrieving/storing of slurm_step_id_t in job_step_info_t.
  • Recover state of burst buffers when slurmctld is restarted to avoid skipping burst buffer stages.
  • Fix race condition in burst buffer plugin which caused a burst buffer in stage-in to not get state saved if slurmctld stopped.
  • auth/jwt - print an error if jwt_file= has not been set in slurmdbd.
  • Fix RESV_DEL_HOLD not being a valid state when using squeue --states.
  • Add missing squeue selectable states in valid states error message.
  • Fix scheduling last array task multiple times on error, causing segfault.
  • Fix issue where a step could be allocated more memory than the job when dealing with --mem-per-cpu and --threads-per-core.
  • Fix removing qos from assoc with -= can lead to assoc with no qos
  • auth/jwt - fix segfault on invalid credential in slurmdbd due to missing validate_slurm_user() function in context.
  • Fix single Port= not being applied to range of nodes in slurm.conf
  • Fix Jobs not requesting a tres are not starting because of that tres limit.
  • acct_gather_energy/rapl - fix AveWatts calculation.
  • job_container/tmpfs - Fix issues with cleanup and slurmd restarting on running jobs.
