[slurm-users] Over-subscription for a GRES type

[Paul Browne]

Ah, of course, that makes sense, thanks. I guess if we're constraining the
devices into job specific cgroups then the Slurmd on the node may know what
device is assigned to what job and be able to interrogate resource usage
from that but there's no mechanism to do it anything other than that.
