** Description changed: - networkd-dispatcher's systemd unit has default dependencies, which means - it starts much, much too late to have any effect for interfaces brought - up by networkd at boot (since the events are missed, and not replayed). + [Impact] + networkd-dispatcher's systemd unit has default dependencies, which means it starts much, much too late to have any effect for interfaces brought up by networkd at boot (since the events are missed, and not replayed). We should instead have systemd unit dependencies like this (replicating systemd-networkd's own): [Unit] Description=Dispatcher daemon for systemd-networkd DefaultDependencies=no After=systemd-udevd.service network-pre.target systemd-sysusers.service systemd-sysctl.service Before=systemd-networkd.service In local testing, this DTRT. + + [Test Case] + Start systemd-networkd / boot system with it, ensure networkd-dispatcher is started before it. + + [Regression potential] + Slower boots as systemd-networkd will now only run after networkd-dispatcher.service, and that runs after dbus.service.
