We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 17.11.6.
This includes over 50 fixes made since 17.11.5 was released eight weeks
ago, including a race condition within the slurmstepd that can lead to
hung extern steps.
Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php

-- Prevent the backup slurmctld from losing the active/available node
features list on takeover.
-- Add documentation for fix IDLE*+POWER due to capmc stuck in Cray systems.
-- Fix missing mutex unlock when prolog is failing on a node, leading to a
hung slurmd.
-- Fix locking around Cray CCM prolog/epilog.
-- Add missing fed_mgr read locks.
-- Fix issue incorrectly setting a job time_start to 0 while requeueing.
-- smail - remove stray '-s' from mail subject line.
-- srun - prevent segfault if ClusterName setting is unset but
SLURM_WORKING_CLUSTER environment variable is defined.
-- In configurator.html web pages change default configuration from
task/none to task/affinity plugin and from select/linear plugin to
select/cons_res plus CR_Core.
-- Allow jobs to run beyond a FLEX reservation end time.
-- Fix problem with wrongly set as Reservation job state_reason.
-- Prevent bit_ffs() from returnig value out of bitmap range.
-- Improve performance of 'squeue -u' when PrivateData=jobs is enabled.
-- Make UnavailableNodes value in job reason be correct for each job.
-- Fix 'squeue -o %s' on Cray systems.
-- Fix incorrect error thrown when cancelling part of a job array.
-- Fix error code and scheduling problem for --exclusive=[user|mcs].
-- Fix build when lz4 is in a non-standard location.
-- Be able to force power_down of cloud node even if in power_save state.
-- Allow cloud nodes to be recognized in Slurm when booted out of band.
-- Fixes race condition in _pack_job_gres() when is called multiple times.
-- Increase duration of "sleep" command used to keep extern step alive.
-- Remove unsafe usage of pthread_cancel in slurmstepd that can lead to
to deadlock in glibc.
-- Fix total TRES Billing on partitions.
-- Don't tear down a BB if a node fails and --no-kill or resize of a job
happens.
-- Remove unsafe usage of pthread_cancel in pmix plugin that can lead to
to deadlock in glibc.
-- Fix fatal in controller when loading completed trigger
-- Ignore reservation overlap at submission time.
-- GRES type model and QOS limits documentation added
-- slurmd - fix ABRT on SIGINT after reconfigure with MemSpecLimit set.
-- PMIx - move two error messages on retry to debug level, and only display
the error after the retry count has been exceeded.
-- Increase number of tries when sending responses to srun.
-- Fix checkpointing requeued/completing jobs in a bad state which caused a
segfault on restart.
-- Fix srun on ppc64 platforms.
-- Prevent slurmd from starting steps if the Prolog returns an error when using
PrologFlags=alloc.
-- priority/multifactor - prevent segfault running sprio if a partition has
just been deleted and PriorityFlags=CALCULATE_RUNNING is turned on.
-- job_submit/lua - add ESLURM_INVALID_TIME_LIMIT return code value.
-- job_submit/lua - print an error if the script calls log.user in
job_modify() instead of returning it to the next submitted job erroneously.
-- select/linear - handle job resize correctly.
-- select/cons_res - improve handling of --cores-per-socket requests
