* Changes in Slurm 20.11.8
==========================
-- slurmctld - fix erroneous "StepId=CORRUPT" messages in error logs.
-- Correct the error given when auth plugin fails to pack a credential.
-- Fix unused-variable compiler warning on FreeBSD in fd_resolve_path().
-- acct_gather_filesystem/lustre - only emit collection error once per step.
-- srun - leave SLURM_DIST_UNKNOWN as default for --interactive.
-- Add GRES environment variables (e.g., CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) into the
interactive step, the same as is done for the batch step.
-- Fix various potential deadlocks when altering objects in the database
dealing with every cluster in the database.
-- slurmrestd - handle slurmdbd connection failures without segfaulting.
-- slurmrestd - fix segfault for searches in slurmdb/v0.0.36/jobs.
-- slurmrestd - remove (non-functioning) users query parameter for
slurmdb/v0.0.36/jobs from openapi.json
-- slurmrestd - fix segfault in slurmrestd db/jobs with numeric queries
-- slurmrestd - add argv handling for job/submit endpoint.
-- srun - fix broken node step allocation in a heterogeneous allocation.
-- Fail step creation if -n is not multiple of --ntasks-per-gpu.
-- job_container/tmpfs - Fix slowdown on teardown.
-- Fix problem with SlurmctldProlog where requeued jobs would never launch.
-- job_container/tmpfs - Fix issue when restarting slurmd where the namespace
mount points could disappear.
-- sacct - avoid truncating JobId at 34 characters.
-- scancel - fix segfault when --wckey filtering option is used.
-- select/cons_tres - Fix memory leak.
-- Prevent file descriptor leak in job_container/tmpfs on slurmd restart.
-- slurmrestd/dbv0.0.36 - Fix values dumped in job state/current and
job step state.
-- slurmrestd/dbv0.0.36 - Correct description for previous state property.
-- perlapi/libslurmdb - expose tres_req_str to job hash.
-- scrontab - close and reopen temporary crontab file to deal with editors
that do not change the original file, but instead write out then rename
a new file.
-- sstat - fix linking so that it will work when --without-shared-libslurm
was used to build Slurm.
-- Clear allocated cpus for running steps in a job before handling requested
nodes on new step.
-- Don't reject a step if not enough nodes are available. Instead, defer the
step until enough nodes are available to satisfy the request.
-- Don't reject a step if it requests at least one specific node that is
already allocated to another step. Instead, defer the step until the
requested node(s) become available.
-- slurmrestd - add description for slurmdb/job endpoint.
-- Better handling of --mem=0.
-- Ignore DefCpuPerGpu when --cpus-per-task given.
-- sacct - fix segfault when printing StepId (or when using --long).
