RHBA-2017:1311 - systemd bug fix update
Synopsis
systemd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated systemd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelism capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups. In addition, it supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can also work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, if there was a require dependency between units (for example, neutron-openvswitch-agent requiring openvswitch), restarting was propagated to the dependent unit even if the dependent unit was not running. For example, restarting openvswitch started also the dependent neutron-openvswitch-agent even when it was in the stopped state. With this update, restarting propagation has been changed to try-restart, and stopped dependent units are no longer started. As a result, neutron-openvswitch-agent remains in the stopped state in the described example. (BZ#1443992)
Users of systemd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
