#6356 reported that a permanently failed task was retried. Note 3
discusses why this happened and suggests two fixes:
* Only put tempfailed task back on the todo list.
* Run `last THISROUND if $main::please_freeze || defined($main::success);`
after we call reapchildren(), since it's the main place where the
value of $main::success can change.
The first change would revert part of
75be7487c2bbd83aa5116aa5f8ade5ddf31501da, which intentionally puts
these tasks back on the todo list to get a correct tasks count.
The current `last if…` line was added in
b306eb48ab12676ffb365ede8197e4f2d7e92011, with the rationale "Don't
create new tasks if $main::success is defined." This change corrects
the code to implement the desired functionality, by checking and
stopping just before we create a new task (functionally, at least).
THISROUND:
for (my $todo_ptr = 0; $todo_ptr <= $#jobstep_todo; $todo_ptr ++)
{
+ # Don't create new tasks if we already know the job's final result.
+ last if defined($main::success);
+
my $id = $jobstep_todo[$todo_ptr];
my $Jobstep = $jobstep[$id];
if ($Jobstep->{level} != $level)
||
($round_num_freeslots > @freeslot && $todo_ptr+1 > $#jobstep_todo))
{
- last THISROUND if $main::please_freeze || defined($main::success);
+ last THISROUND if $main::please_freeze;
if ($main::please_info)
{
$main::please_info = 0;
