* Changes in Slurm 16.05.2
==========================
-- CRAY - Fix issue where the proctrack plugin could hang if the
container
id wasn't able to be made.
-- Move test for job wait reason value of BurstBufferResources and
BurstBufferStageIn later in the scheduling logic.
-- Document which srun options apply to only job, only step, or job and
step
allocations.
-- Use more compatible function to get thread name (>= 2.6.11).
-- Fix order of job then step id when noting cleaning flag being set.
-- Make it so the extern step sends a message with accounting
information
back to the slurmctld.
-- Make it so the extern step calls the select_g_step_start|finish
functions.
-- Don't print error when extern step is canceled because job is
ending.
-- Handle a few error codes when dealing with the extern step to make
sure
we have the pids added to the system correctly.
-- Add support for job dependencies with job array expressions.
Previous logic
required listing each task of job array individually.
-- Make sure tres_cnt is set before creating a slurmdb_assoc_usage_t.
-- Prevent backfill scheduler from starting a second "singleton" job if
another
one started during a backfill sleep.
-- Fix for invalid array pointer when creating advanced reservation
when job
allocations span heterogeneous nodes (differing core or socket
counts).
-- Fix hostlist_ranged_string_xmalloc_dims to correctly not put
brackets on
hostlists when brackets == 0.
-- Make sure we don't get brackets when making a range of reserved
ports
for a step.
-- Change fatal to an error if port ranges aren't correct when reading
state
for steps.
