Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bullseye
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pu
[ Reason ]
https://bugs.debian.org/1012154 reported a startup issue due to a race
between systemd-binfmt.service and binfmt-support.service (which has
probably been around for a long time). https://bugs.debian.org/1021822
mentions that it would be helpful to have the fix for this in stable as
well, which I agree with.
[ Impact ]
binfmt-support.service will sometimes fail to start, so binary format
specifications registered with it may or may not do anything depending
on luck at boot time.
[ Tests ]
None, sorry.
[ Risks ]
The patch came from a systemd maintainer and is pretty simple: it just
ensures ordering. I haven't heard of any issues introduced by it in
bookworm.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

+Subject: Run binfmt-support.service after systemd-binfmt.service
+
+This fixes a race condition during boot when both services try to access
+/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register at the same time which can lead to the
+following error:
+
+ systemd[1]: Starting Enable support for additional executable binary
formats...
+ update-binfmts[536]: update-binfmts: warning: unable to close
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register: File exists

status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
+ systemd[1]: binfmt-support.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
+ systemd[1]: Failed to start Enable support for additional executable binary

+
+Fixes Debian bug #1012154.
