[slurm-users] cgroupv2 + slurmd - external cgroup changes needed to get daemon to start

Progress on getting slurmd to start under cgroupv2

Issue: slurmd 22.05.6 will not start when using cgroupv2

Expected result: even after reboot slurmd will start up without needing to manually add lines to /sys/fs/cgroup files.

When started as service the error is:

# systemctl status slurmd
* slurmd.service - Slurm node daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

When started at the command line the output is:

slurmd: error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for jobacct_gather/cgroup: Plugin init() callback failed
slurmd: error: cannot create jobacct_gather context for jobacct_gather/cgroup


Steps to mitigate the issue:

While the following steps do not solve the issue, they do get the system in a state such that slurmd will start, at least until next reboot.  The re-install slurm-slurmd is a one-time step to ensure that local service modifications are out of the picture.  Currently, even after reboot the cgroup echo steps are necessary at a minimum.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/dnf -y reinstall slurm-slurmd
systemctl daemon-reload
/usr/bin/pkill -f '/usr/sbin/slurmstepd infinity'
systemctl enable slurmd
systemctl stop dcismeng.service && \
/usr/bin/echo +cpu +cpuset +memory >> /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control && \
/usr/bin/echo +cpu +cpuset +memory >> /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/cgroup.subtree_control && \
systemctl start slurmd && \
 echo 'run this: systemctl start dcismeng'
