## Description:

This update for slurm_23_02 fixes the following issues:

  * Updated to 23.02.4 with the following changes:
  * Bug Fixes:
    * Fix main scheduler loop not starting after a failover to backup controller. Avoid slurmctld segfault when specifying `AccountingStorageExternalHost` (bsc#1214983).
    * Fix sbatch return code when `--wait` is requested on a job array.
    * Fix collected `GPUUtilization` values for `acct_gather_profile` plugins.
    * Fix `slurmrestd` handling of job hold/release operations.
    * 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`.
    * Fix handling of `ArrayTaskThrottle` in backfill.
    * Fix regression in 23.02.2 when checking gres state on `slurmctld` startup or reconfigure. Gres changes in the configuration were not updated on slurmctld startup. On startup or reconfigure, these messages were present in the log: `"error: Attempt to change gres/gpu Count`".
    * Fix potential double count of gres when dealing with limits.
    * Fix `slurmstepd` segfault when `ContainerPath` is not set in `oci.conf`
    * Fixed an issue where jobs requesting licenses were incorrectly rejected.
    * `scrontab` \- Fix cutting off the final character of quoted variables.
    * `smail` \- Fix issues where e-mails at job completion were not being sent.
    * `scontrol/slurmctld` \- fix comma parsing when updating a reservation's nodes.
    * 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 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.
    * `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.
  * Other changes:
    * 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).
    * `scontrol` \- Permit changes to StdErr and StdIn for pending jobs.
    * `scontrol` \- Reset `std`{`err`,`in`,`out`} when set to empty string.
    * `slurmrestd` \- mark environment as a required field for job submission descriptions.
    * `slurmrestd` \- avoid dumping null in OpenAPI schema required fields.
    * `data_parser/v0.0.39` \- avoid rejecting valid `memory_per_node` formatted as dictionary provided with a job description.
    * `data_parser/v0.0.39` \- avoid rejecting valid `memory_per_cpu` formatted as dictionary provided with a job description.
    * `slurmrestd` \- Return HTTP error code 404 when job query fails.
    * `slurmrestd` \- Add return schema to error response to job and license query.
    * Change the log message warning for rate limited users from debug to verbose.
    * `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.
    * Added error message when attempting to use sattach on batch or extern steps.
    * 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.
  * Updated to 23.02.3 with the following changes:
  * Bug Fixes:
    * `slurmctld` \- Fix backup slurmctld crash when it takes control multiple times.
    * Fix regression in 23.02.2 that ignored the partition `DefCpuPerGPU` setting on the first pass of scheduling a job requesting `--gpus --ntasks`.
    * `srun` \- fix issue creating regular and interactive steps because environment variables were incorrectly set on non-HetSteps.
    * Fix dynamic nodes getting stuck in allocated states when reconfiguring.
    * 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.
    * 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).
    * Fix regression in 23.02 leading to error() messages being sent at `INFO` instead of `ERR` in syslog.
    * Fix `TresUsageIn[Tot|Ave]` calculation for `gres/gpumem` and `gres/gpuutil`.
    * Fix issue in the gpu plugins where gpu frequencies would only be set if both gpu memory and gpu frequencies were set, while one or the other suffices.
    * Fix reservations group ACL's not working with the root group.
    * Fix updating a job with a ReqNodeList greater than the job's node count.
    * Fix inadvertent permission denied error for `--task-prolog` and `--task-epilog` with filesystems mounted with `root_squash`.
    * Fix missing detailed cpu and gres information in json/yaml output from `scontrol`, `squeue` and `sinfo`.
    * Fix regression in 23.02 that causes a failure to allocate job steps that request `--cpus-per-gpu` and gpus with types.
    * Fix potentially waiting indefinitely for a defunct process to finish, which affects various scripts including `Prolog` and `Epilog`. This could have various symptoms, such as jobs getting stuck in a completing state.
    * Fix losing list of reservations on job when updating job with list of reservations and restarting the controller.
    * Fix nodes resuming after down and drain state update requests from clients older than 23.02.
    * Fix advanced reservation creation/update when an association that should have access to it is composed with partition(s).
    * Fix job layout calculations with `--ntasks-per-gpu`, especially when `--nodes` has not been explicitly provided.
    * Fix X11 forwarding for jobs submitted from the slurmctld host.
    * When a job requests `--no-kill` and one or more nodes fail during the job, fix subsequent job steps unable to use some of the remaining resources allocated to the job.
    * Fix shared gres allocation when using `--tres-per-task` with tasks that span multiple sockets.
    * `auth/jwt` \- Fix memory leak.
  * Other changes:
    * `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.
    * 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.
    * `openapi/v0.0.39` \- fix memory leak in `_job_post_het_submit()`.
    * Avoid possible `slurmctld` segfault caused by race condition with already completed `slurmdbd_conn` connections.
    * `Slurmdbd.conf` checks included conf files for 0600 permissions
    * `slurmrestd` \- fix regression "oversubscribe" fields were removed from job descriptions and submissions from v0.0.39 end points.
    * `accounting_storage/mysql` \- Query for indiviual QOS correctly when you have more than 10.
    * 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.
    * 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.
    * Avoid unnecessary `gres/gpumem` and `gres/gpuutil` `TRES` position lookups.
    * `sacct` \- when printing `PLANNED` time, use end time instead of start time for jobs cancelled before they started.
    * Hold the job with "`(Reservation ... invalid)`" state reason if the reservation is not usable by the job.
    * `sbatch` \- Added new `--export=NIL` option.
