* Changes in Slurm 21.08.1
==========================
-- Fix potential memory leak if a problem happens while allocating GRES for
a job.
-- If an overallocation of GRES happens terminate the creation of a job.
-- AutoDetect=nvml: Fatal if no devices found in MIG mode.
-- slurm.spec - fix querying for PMIx and UCX version.
-- Print federation and cluster sacctmgr error messages to stderr.
-- Fix off by one error in --gpu-bind=mask_gpu.
-- Fix statement condition in http_parser autoconf macro.
-- Fix statement condition in netloc autoconf macro.
-- Add --gpu-bind=none to disable gpu binding when using --gpus-per-task.
-- Handle the burst buffer state "alloc-revoke" which previously would not
display in the job correctly.
-- Fix issue in the slurmstepd SPANK prolog/epilog handler where configuration
values were used before being initialized.
-- Restore a step's ability to utilize all of an allocations memory if --mem=0.
-- Fix --cpu-bind=verbose garbage taskid.
-- Fix cgroup task affinity issues from garbage taskid info.
-- Make gres_job_state_validate() client logging behavior as before 44466a4641.
-- Fix steps with --hint overriding an allocation with --threads-per-core.
-- Require requesting a GPU if --mem-per-gpu is requested.
-- Return error early if a job is requesting --ntasks-per-gpu and no gpus or
task count.
-- Properly clear out pending step if unavailable to run with available
resources.
-- Kill all processes spawned by burst_buffer.lua including decendents.
-- openapi/v0.0.{35,36,37} - Avoid setting default values of min_cpus,
job name, cwd, mail_type, and contiguous on job update.
-- openapi/v0.0.{35,36,37} - Clear user hold on job update if hold=false.
-- Prevent CRON_JOB flag from being cleared when loading job state.
-- sacctmgr - Fix deleting WCKeys when not specifying a cluster.
-- Fix getting memory for a step when the first node in the step isn't the
first node in the allocation.
-- Make SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core_Memory default for cons_tres and cons_res.
-- Correctly handle mutex unlocks in the gres code if failures happen.
-- Give better error message if -m plane is given with no size.
-- Fix --distribution=arbitrary for salloc.
-- Fix jobcomp/script regression introduced in 21.08.0rc1 0c75b9ac9d.
-- Only send the batch node in the step_hostlist in the job credential.
-- When setting affinity for the batch step don't assume the batch host is node
0.
-- In task/affinity better checking for node existence when laying out
affinity.
-- slurmrestd - fix job submission with auth/jwt.
