Public bug reported: [impact]
The ActivationPolicy= parameter was backported in bug 1664844, but when this is set to down (or always-down or manual) without also specifying RequiredForOnline=no, then there is a hang at boot waiting for the network to finish coming online. [test case] With the latest systemd, which includes support for ActivationPolicy=, configure an interface with ActivationPolicy=down and reboot. The boot will be delayed waiting for that interface. [regression potential] any regression would likely cause the system to encounter delay at boot, or to boot before configured interface(s) are fully online at boot, or to fail to correctly/fully configure interface(s). [scope] this is needed for all releases this is proposed upstream in: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/19883 [other info] this is only needed for convenience, as any configuration using ActivationPolicy=down can also easily add RequiredForOnline=no ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Low Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) Status: In Progress ** Description changed: [impact] The ActivationPolicy= parameter was backported in bug 1664844, but when this is set to down (or always-down or manual) without also specifying RequiredForOnline=no, then there is a hang at boot waiting for the network to finish coming online.
