Subject: [PATCH 0/1] enable-fsck: Run after udev devices coldplugged
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 06:37:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220218053745.31243-1-ubely@ilbers.de> (raw)

Earlier patch removing `update-initramfs` call from enable-fsck script
(`enable-fsck: don't run update-initramfs after fstab modification`)
discovered a bug that happens in arm/arm64 qemu targets.

Without running `update-initramfs`, this one-time service is executed
now very quickly and it creates terms when systemd can't find `ttyAMA0`
device and is unable to run serial getty on it.

Failed log:
| [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/ttyAMA0.
| [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyAMA0.

Normal (expected) log:
| [  OK  ] Found device /dev/ttyAMA0.
| [  OK  ] Started Serial Getty on ttyAMA0.

There is no direct relation between device handling and `enable-fsck`,
but enabling this "fast" service, due its "After" and "Before" service
dependencies leads to this device issue.

There are 3 possible situations:

1. `enable-fsck` is disabled:
 - Boot is OK in this case

2. `enable-fsck` is enabled and executed fast (only fstab modified):
 - Boot fails, device `/dev/ttyAMA0` is not found by systemd

3. `enable-fsck` is enabled and executed slow (can be simply achieved
by adding "sleep 10" to `/usr/share/enable-fsck/enable-fsck.sh`:
 - Boot is OK in this case

Case 3 earlier was the main case, while "update-initramfs" was that
slow operation that was "fixing" the issue.

The problem looks like some race in services. It is probably related
to Debian and/or Qemu.

The patch below is a workaround that adds some udev dependency to the
`enable-fsck` service, so it now runs after udev devices coldplugged.
