Highlights​

This release is a single bugfix release and contains a critical fix for an issue marked as fixed in YuniKorn 1.6.1 and YuniKorn 1.6.2.

Improper locking in user/group tracking​

YuniKorn could update internal accounting structures unsafely and panic in some cases.

YUNIKORN-3004 was incorrectly marked as fixed in YuniKorn release 1.6.1 and 1.6.2. YuniKorn 1..6.1 and 1.6.2 can panic due to improper locking while reading and writing user quota tracking data.
