Abstract

P104614. This fix:
1. Prevents the mbschd daemon occasionally core dump after global policy is enabled for multiple clusters.
2. Adds a pending reason message for jobs that cannot forward to remote cluster.
3. Prevents the ebrokerd daemon hangs when it terminates thousands of instances on cloud.
4. Prevents the mbatchd daemon core dumps, when it replays JOB_SWITCH event.
5. Enables the GPU_RUN_TIME work, when the value of GPU_RUN_TIME_FACTOR is less than 1.
6. Improves to set pending reason for preemptive jobs, if the closed_Busy host is not used by advanced reservation.
