We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 17.11.8.
This includes over 30 fixes made since 17.11.7 was released at the end
of May. This includes a change to the slurmd.service file used with
systemd, this fix prevents systemd from destroying the cgroup
hierarchies slurmd/slurmstepd have created whenever 'systemctl
daemon-reload' is called (e.g., by yum/rpm).
Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php .

* Changes in Slurm 17.11.8
==========================
-- Fix incomplete RESPONSE_[RESOURCE|JOB_PACK]_ALLOCATION building path.
-- Do not allocate nodes that were marked down due to the node not responding
by ResumeTimeout.
-- task/cray plugin - search for "mems" cgroup information in the file
"cpuset.mems" then fall back to the file "mems".
-- Fix ipmi profile debug uninitialized variable.
-- Improve detection of Lua package on older RHEL distributions.
-- PMIx: fixed the direct connect inline msg sending.
-- MYSQL: Fix issue not handling all fields when loading an archive dump.
-- Allow a job_submit plugin to change the admin_comment field during
job_submit_plugin_modify().
-- job_submit/lua - fix access into reservation table.
-- MySQL - Prevent deadlock caused by archive logic locking reads.
-- Don't enforce MaxQueryTimeRange when requesting specific jobs.
-- Modify --test-only logic to properly support jobs submitted to more than
one partition.
-- Prevent slurmctld from abort when attempting to set non-existing
qos as def_qos_id.
-- Add new job dependency type of "afterburstbuffer". The pending job will be
delayed until the first job completes execution and it's burst buffer
stage-out is completed.

and avoid race condition calling task before proctrack can introduce.
-- Prevent reboot of a busy KNL node when requesting inactive features.
-- Revert to previous behavior when requesting memory per cpu/node introduced
in 17.11.7.
-- Fix to reinitialize previously adjusted job members to their original value
when validating the job memory in multi-partition requests.
-- Fix _step_signal() from always returning SLURM_SUCCESS.
-- Combine active and available node feature change logs on one line rather
than one line per node for performance reasons.
-- Prevent occasionally leaking freezer cgroups.
-- Fix potential segfault when closing the mpi/pmi2 plugin.

with preemption or when job requests a specific list of hosts.
-- Make code compile with hdf5 1.10.2+
-- mpi/pmix: Fixed the collectives canceling.
-- SlurmDBD: improve error message handling on archive load failure.
-- Fix incorrect locking when deleting reservations.
-- Fix incorrect locking when setting up the power save module.
-- Fix setting format output length for squeue when showing array jobs.
-- Add xstrstr function.
-- Fix printing out of --hint options in sbatch, salloc --help.
-- Prevent possible divide by zero in _validate_time_limit().
-- Add Delegate=yes to the slurmd.service file to prevent systemd from
interfering with the jobs' cgroup hierarchies.
