Public bug reported: On Ubuntu Core we recently hit the a race in daemon-reload and systemctl twice. This race is fixed in systemd upstream: "fix race between daemon- reload and other commands #8803".
To reproduce its enough to run: for i in $(seq 50); do systemctl daemon-reload & systemctl start ssh & done This will result in "systemctl start ssh" hanging in ppoll. With the patch applied the hangs go away. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "debdiff with a port of the fix in PR#8803" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819728/+attachment/5245665/+files/fix-systemctl-race-8803.debdiff ** Summary changed: - Please backport " fix race between daemon-reload and other commands #8803 " + Please backport "fix race between daemon-reload and other commands #8803" to 16.04 (for UC16) ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819728 Title: Please backport "fix race between daemon-reload and other commands #8803" to 16.04 (for UC16) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1819728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
