Subject: [PATCH] systemd unit files: fix up dependencies on rpcbind.
The dependencies on rpcbind have been changed a few times and I think
they are still wrong. So I'll go into some detail to justify this
change.
Firstly: rpcbind.target rpcbind.socket or rpcbind.service?
The systemd documentation talks about targets as "synchronization
points" and likens them to SysV init run levels. Run levels are about
ordering but not dependencies.
The systemd.special man page describes rpcbind.target as intended
explicitly for ordering sysvinit scripts, with "After=" dependencies.
So while I think it is valid to use rpcbind.target for ordering
(before/after) it shouldn't be used for dependencies (Wants/Requires).
The rpcbind.target file included in systemd does not "Require" the
actual service, so requiring rpcbind.target itself is pointless.
I think we shouldn't use rpcbind.target at all. Leave it for sysvinit
synchronization.
So: .socket or .service?
I think nfs only needs the socket to be active. On first connection
the service will be started. But nfs does not need to wait for the
service to start, only the socket. So I think we should exclusively
use rpcbind.socket.
Next: Wants or Requires.
rpc.statd definitely Requires rpcbind. It needs to register to be
useful, and without rpcbind it cannot register.
nfs-server does not necesarily require rpcbind. Specifically if
configured for NFSv4 only, nfs-server will work quite happily without
rpcbind.
Someone with an NFSv4 only setup who wants rpcbind to not run can use
systemctl mask rpcbind.socket
to ensure it never runs.
So nfs-server should only "Wants: rpcbind.socket".
I think
Commit: 4fabfcd08206 ("systemd: Decouple the starting and stopping of
rpcbind/nfs-server")
should have changed "Requires" to "Wants" rather than "server" to
"target"
to fix the dependency problem.
Finally: After?
It only makes sense to declare an ordering relation as "After:"
something that will actually be started. If "foo.service" is not part
of the systemd transaction, then "After: foo.service" has no effect.
So having:
Requires: rpcbind.target
After: rpcbind.socket
doesn't make much sense unless there is some relationship between
rpcbind.target and rpcbind.socket, and there is no general guarantee
of that (though what individual distros do, I don't know).
So the "After" should match the "Wants" or "Requires".
It might make sense to
Requires: rpcbind.socket
After: rpcbind.target
as it is reasonable to assume that rpcbind.target will be ordered with
rpcbind.socket, but as we can use rpcbind.socket explictly, that is
clearer.
So my conclusion is that nfs-server should:
Wants: rpcbind.socket
After: rpcbind.socket
and rpc-statd should
Requires: rpcbind.socket
After: rpcbind.socket
which is what this patch puts into effect.
