Previously, path units would remain in the running state while their
target unit is deactivating. This left a window of time where the target
unit is no longer operational (i.e. it is busy deactivating/cleaning
up/etc) but the path unit would continue to ignore inotify events. In
short: any inotify event that occurs while the target unit deactivates
would be completely lost.
With this commit, the path will go back into a waiting state when the
target unit starts deactivating. This means that any inotify event that
occurs while the target unit deactivates will queue a start job.
Otherwise we might never hit the trigger limit and wait indefinitely.
Found when trying to run the test on an EC2 xen machine without a nested
virt in CentOS CI (in preparations for some ... unforseseen consequences).
When a service is triggered by a path unit, pass the
path unit name and the path that triggered it via env vars
to the spawned processes.
Note that this is best-effort, as there might be many triggers
at the same time, but we only get woken up by one.
Alternative to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20531.
Whenever a service triggered by another unit fails condition checks,
stop the triggering unit to prevent systemd busy looping trying to
start the triggered unit.
Those are all consumed by our parser, so they all support comments.
I was considering whether they should have a license header at all,
but in the end I decided to add it because those files are often created
by copying parts of real unit files. And if the real ones have a license,
then those might as well. It's easier to add it than to make an exception.
Fixes#17433. Currently, if any of the validations we do before we
check start rate limiting fail, we can still enter a busy loop as
no rate limiting gets applied. A common occurence of this scenario
is path units triggering a service that fails a condition check.
To fix the issue, we simply move up start rate limiting checks to
be the first thing we do when starting a unit. To achieve this,
we add a new method to the unit vtable and implement it for the
relevant unit types so that we can do the start rate limit checks
earlier on.
