It seems this is a dependency loop: (1) network-online.target waits for ifup@eth0.service as it's in /etc/network/interfaces (2) ifup@eth0.service starts during boot, triggered by udev; through samba's smbd dhclient-enter hook it calls invoke-rc.d smbd reload (3) /etc/init.d/smbd has "Requires: $network" (4) the SysV generator translates $network to network-online.target
We really want (1), (2) and (3) are justified. According to http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_4.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core- generic/facilname.html, $network should be mapped to network.service, not network-online.service. If others disagree and $network should have the "strong" is-online meaning, we need to fix it at (3) instead, e. g. by adding a proper systemd unit to samba.
