slurmrestd - Change format to multiple fields in ‘GET /slurmdb/v0.0.39/assocations’ and ‘GET /slurmdb/v0.0.39/qos’ to handle infinite and unset states.
When a node fails in a job with --no-kill, preserve the extern step on the remaining nodes to avoid breaking features that rely on the extern step such as pam_slurm_adopt, x11, and job_container/tmpfs.
auth/jwt - Ignore ‘x5c’ field in JWKS files.
auth/jwt - Treat ‘alg’ field as optional in JWKS files.
Allow job_desc.selinux_context to be read from the job_submit.lua script.
Skip check in slurmstepd that causes a large number of errors in the munge log: “Unauthorized credential for client UID=0 GID=0”. This error will still appear on slurmd/slurmctld/slurmdbd start up and is not a cause for concern.

Fix sinfo segfault when printing multiple clusters with --noheader option.
Federation - fix clusters not syncing if clusters are added to a federation before they have registered with the dbd.
Change pmi2 plugin to honor the SrunPortRange option. This matches the new behavior of the pmix plugin in 23.02.0. Note that neither of these plugins makes use of the “MpiParams=ports=” option, and previously were only limited by the systems ephemeral port range.
node_features/helpers - Fix node selection for jobs requesting changeable features with the ‘|’ operator, which could prevent jobs from running on some valid nodes.
node_features/helpers - Fix inconsistent handling of ‘&’ and ‘|’, where an AND‘d feature was sometimes AND’d to all sets of features instead of just the current set. E.g. “foo|bar&baz” was interpreted as {foo,baz} or {bar,baz} instead of how it is documented: “{foo} or {bar,baz}”.
Fix job accounting so that when a job is requeued its allocated node count is cleared. After the requeue, sacct will correctly show that the job has 0 AllocNodes while it is pending or if it is canceled before restarting.
sacct - AllocCPUS now correctly shows 0 if a job has not yet received an allocation or if the job was canceled before getting one.
Fix intel oneapi autodetect: detect the /dev/dri/renderD[0-9]+ gpus, and do not detect /dev/dri/card[0-9]+.
Format batch, extern, interactive, and pending step ids into strings that are human readable.
Fix node selection for jobs that request --gpus and a number of tasks fewer than gpus, which resulted in incorrectly rejecting these jobs.

slurmrestd - For ‘GET /slurm/v0.0.39/qos’, change format of QOS's field “priority” to a dictionary to account for unset value instead of dumping 4294967294.
slurmrestd - For ‘GET /slurm/v0.0.39/job[s]’, the ‘return code’ code field in v0.0.39_job_exit_code will be set to -127 instead of being left unset where job does not have a relevant return code.
data_parser/v0.0.39 - Add required/memory_per_cpu and required/memory_per_node to sacct --json and sacct --yaml and ‘GET /slurmdb/v0.0.39/jobs’ from slurmrestd.
For step allocations, fix --gres=none sometimes not ignoring gres from the job.
Fix --exclusive jobs incorrectly gang-scheduling where they shouldn't.
Fix allocations with CR_SOCKET, gres not assigned to a specific socket, and block core distribion potentially allocating more sockets than required.
gpu/oneapi - Store cores correctly so CPU affinity is tracked.
Revert a change in 23.02.3 where Slurm would kill a script's process group as soon as the script ended instead of waiting as long as any process in that process group held the stdout/stderr file descriptors open. That change broke some scripts that relied on the previous behavior. Setting time limits for scripts (such as PrologEpilogTimeout) is strongly encouraged to avoid Slurm waiting indefinitely for scripts to finish.
Allow slurmdbd -R to work if the root assoc id is not 1.
Fix slurmdbd -R not returning an error under certain conditions.
slurmdbd - Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference in the mysql plugin.
Revert a change in 23.02 where SLURM_NTASKS was no longer set in the job's environment when --ntasks-per-node was requested.
Limit periodic node registrations to 50 instead of the full TreeWidth. Since unresolvable cloud/dynamic nodes must disable fanout by setting TreeWidth to a large number, this would cause all nodes to register at once.
Fix regression in 23.02.3 which broken x11 forwarding for hosts when MUNGE sends a localhost address in the encode host field. This is caused when the node hostname is mapped to 127.0.0.1 (or similar) in /etc/hosts.

Make spank S_JOB_ARGV item value hold the requested command argv instead of the srun --bcast value when --bcast requested (only in local context).
Fix step running indefinitely when slurmctld takes more than MessageTimeout to respond. Now, slurmctld will cancel the step when detected, preventing following steps from getting stuck waiting for resources to be released.
Fix regression to make job_desc.min_cpus accurate again in job_submit when requesting a job with --ntasks-per-node.
scontrol - Permit changes to StdErr and StdIn for pending jobs.
scontrol - Reset std{err,in,out} when set to empty string.

smail - Fix issues where e-mails at job completion were not being sent.
scontrol/slurmctld - fix comma parsing when updating a reservation's nodes.
cgroup/v2 - Avoid capturing log output for ebpf when constraining devices, as this can lead to inadvertent failure if the log buffer is too small.
Fix --gpu-bind=single binding tasks to wrong gpus, leading to some gpus having more tasks than they should and other gpus being unused.
Fix main scheduler loop not starting after failover to backup controller.
Added error message when attempting to use sattach on batch or extern steps.
Fix regression in 23.02 that causes slurmstepd to crash when srun requests more than TreeWidth nodes in a step and uses the pmi2 or pmix plugin.
Reject job ArrayTaskThrottle update requests from unprivileged users.
data_parser/v0.0.39 - populate description fields of property objects in generated OpenAPI specifications where defined.
slurmstepd - Avoid segfault caused by ContainerPath not being terminated by ‘/’ in oci.conf.
data_parser/v0.0.39 - Change v0.0.39_job_info response to tag exit_code field as being complex instead of only an unsigned integer.
job_container/tmpfs - Fix %h and %n substitution in BasePath where %h was substituted as the NodeName instead of the hostname, and %n was substituted as an empty string.
Fix regression where --cpu-bind=verbose would override TaskPluginParam.
scancel - Fix --clusters/-M for federations. Only filtered jobs (e.g. -A, -u, -p, etc.) from the specified clusters will be canceled, rather than all jobs in the federation. Specific jobids will still be routed to the origin cluster for cancellation.

Changes in Slurm 23.02.3

Fix regression in 23.02.2 that ignored the partition DefCpuPerGPU setting on the first pass of scheduling a job requesting --gpus --ntasks.
openapi/dbv0.0.39/users - If a default account update failed, resulting in a no-op, the query returned success without any warning. Now a warning is sent back to the client that the default account wasn't modified.
srun - fix issue creating regular and interactive steps because _PACK_GROUP environment variables were incorrectly set on non-HetSteps.
Fix dynamic nodes getting stuck in allocated states when reconfiguring.
Avoid job write lock when nodes are dynamically added/removed.
burst_buffer/lua - allow jobs to get scheduled sooner after slurm_bb_data_in completes.
mpi/pmix - fix regression introduced in 23.02.2 which caused PMIx shmem backed files permissions to be incorrect.
api/submit - fix memory leaks when submission of batch regular jobs or batch HetJobs fails (response data is a return code).
openapi/v0.0.39 - fix memory leak in _job_post_het_submit().
Fix regression in 23.02.2 that set the SLURM_NTASKS environment variable in sbatch jobs from --ntasks-per-node when --ntasks was not requested.
Fix regression in 23.02 that caused sbatch jobs to set the wrong number of tasks when requesting --ntasks-per-node without --ntasks, and also requesting one of the following options: --sockets-per-node, --cores-per-socket, --threads-per-core (or --hint=nomultithread), or -B,--extra-node-info.
Fix double counting suspended job counts on nodes when reconfiguring, which prevented nodes with suspended jobs from being powered down or rebooted once the jobs completed.
Fix backfill not scheduling jobs submitted with --prefer and --constraint properly.
Avoid possible slurmctld segfault caused by race condition with already completed slurmdbd_conn connections.
Slurmdbd.conf checks included conf files for 0600 permissions

Add warning message about ignoring --tres-per-tasks=license when used on a step.
sshare - Fix command to work when using priority/basic.
Avoid loading cli_filter plugins outside of salloc/sbatch/scron/srun. This fixes a number of missing symbol problems that can manifest for executables linked against libslurm (and not libslurmfull).
Allow cloud_reg_addrs to update dynamically registered node's addrs on subsequent registrations.
switch/hpe_slingshot - Fix hetjob components being assigned different vnis.
Revert a change in 22.05.5 that prevented tasks from sharing a core if --cpus-per-task > threads per core, but caused incorrect accounting and cpu binding. Instead, --ntasks-per-core=1 may be requested to prevent tasks from sharing a core.
Correctly send assoc_mgr lock to mcs plugin.
Fix regression in 23.02 leading to error() messages being sent at INFO instead of ERR in syslog.
switch/hpe_slingshot - Fix bad instant-on data due to incorrect parsing of data from jackaloped.

Fix shared gres allocation when using --tres-per-task with tasks that span multiple sockets.

Changes in Slurm 23.02.2

Fix regression introduced with the migration to interfaces which caused sshare to core dump. Sshare now initialized the priority context correctly when calculating with PriorityFlags=NO_FAIR_TREE.
Fix IPMI DCMI sensor initialization.
For the select/cons_tres plugin, improve the best effort GPU to core binding, for requests with per job task count (-n) and GPU (--gpus) specification.

Fix regression from 23.02.0rc1 causing a FrontEnd slurmd to assert fail on startup and don't be configured with the appropriate port.
Fix dynamic nodes not being sorted and not being included in topology, which resulted in suboptimal dynamic node selection for jobs.
Fix slurmstepd crash due to potential division by zero (SIGFPE) in certain edge-cases using the PMIx plugin.
Fix issue with PMIx HetJob requests where certain use-cases would end up with communication errors due to incorrect PMIx hostname info setup.
openapi/v0.0.39 - revert regression in job update requests to accept job description for changes instead of requiring job description in “job” field.
Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 that caused a step to crash with a bad --gpu-bind=single request.
job_container/tmpfs - skip more in-depth attempt to clean up the base path when not required. This prevents unhelpful, and possibly misleading, debug2 messages when not using the new “shared” mode.
gpu/nvml - Fix gpu usage when graphics processes are running on the gpu.
slurmrestd - fix regression where “exclusive” field was removed from job descriptions and submissions.
Fix issue where requeued jobs had bad gres allocations leading to gres not being deallocated at the end of the job, preventing other jobs from using those resources.
Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 which caused incorrect values for SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE when the job requests --ntasks-per-node and --exclusive or --ntasks-per-core=1 (or CR_ONE_TASK_PER_CORE) and without requesting --ntasks. SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE is used by mpirun, so this regression caused mpirun to launch the wrong number of tasks and to sometimes fail to launch tasks.
Prevent jobs running on shards from being canceled on slurmctld restart.
Fix SPANK prolog and epilog hooks that rely on slurm_init() for access to internal Slurm API calls.

slurmctld - add missing PrivateData=jobs check to step ContainerID lookup requests originated from ‘scontrol show step container-id=’ or certain scrun operations when container state can't be directly queried.
Automatically sort the TaskPlugin list reverse-alphabetically. This addresses an issue where cpu masks were reset if task/affinity was listed before task/cgroup on cgroup/v2 systems with Linux kernel < 6.2.
Fix some failed terminate job requests from a 23.02 slurmctld to a 22.05 or 21.08 slurmd.
Fix compile issues on 32-bit systems.

Fix job not being scheduled on valid nodes and potentially being rejected when using parentheses at the beginning of square brackets in a feature request, for example: “feat1&[(feat2|feat3)]”.
Fix a job being scheduled on nodes that do not match a feature request that uses parentheses inside of brackets and requests additional features outside of brackets, for example: “feat1&[feat2|(feat3|feat4)]”.
Fix regression in 23.02.0rc1 which made --gres-flags=enforce-binding no longer enforce optimal core-gpu job placement.
switch/hpe_slingshot - add option to disable VNI allocation per-job.

Fixed GpuFreqDef option. When set in slurm.conf, it will be used if --gpu-freq was not explicitly set by the job step.
Update database index for usage tables used for archive and purge.
Fix configure script on FreeBSD.

Changes in Slurm 23.02.0rc1

Jobs with old GRES that are no longer configured in any configuration files can now be successfully updated to use currently configured GRES.
Add tres_per_node to resource_allocation_response_msg to fix srun jobs running with outdated GRES. This is necessary for srun jobs whose GRES are updated while they are pending. By having tres_per_node in the resourece_allocation_response_msg, slurmctld can send back the correct and updated GRES, whereas without it, the srun job would use the old GRES.
Cleaned up various “warning”, “Warning”, and “WARNING” messages with a new warning() logging call. All will now print as “warning: ...”.
