2023-09-06 13:48:42 Mitchell Dzurick description I noticed that (at least on Lunar) that reinstalling multipath-tools leads to multipathd.socket being inactive. I don't think this is actually an issue. It's fine for sockets to be inactive, it's just the general behavior I notice with this socket is that it's usually always active, so I wanted to start a discussion on if this behavior warrants further investigation scrutiny. I reinstalled multipath-tools so the socket says inactive, and the multipathd utility (which communicates through the socket) is responding appropriately without errors. ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-103:~$ sudo systemctl status multipathd.socket ● multipathd.socket - multipathd control socket Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/multipathd.socket; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-09-06 00:52:14 UTC; 1min 6s ago Until: Wed 2023-09-06 00:52:14 UTC; 1min 6s ago Triggers: ● multipathd.service Listen: @/org/kernel/linux/storage/multipathd (Stream) CGroup: /system.slice/multipathd.socket Notice: journal has been rotated since unit was started, output may be incomplete. ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-103:~$ sudo apt install multipath-tools --reinstall Reading package lists...

This is by design so multiple processes of the socket are not active at once. [Test Cases] Due to the nature of this bug/fix, multiple test cases are defined here: 1. Install multipath-tools when it is uninstalled 2. Upgrade multipath-tools to this version 3. Downgrade multipath-tools to this version 4. Reinstall multipath-tools when it is this version 5. systemctl stop multipathd.service multipathd.socket systemctl start multipathd.service multipathd.socket All test cases should result in _no errors_ and both multipathd.service multipathd.socket are active [Reproducer] # systemctl status multipathd.service multipathd.socket | grep Active -B2 ● multipathd.service - Device-Mapper Multipath Device Controller      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/multipathd.service; enabled; preset: enabled)      Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-09-13 14:03:16 UTC; 45s ago -- ● multipathd.socket - multipathd control socket      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/multipathd.socket; enabled; preset: enabled)      Active: active (running) since Wed 2023-09-13 14:03:16 UTC; 45s ago # systemctl stop multipathd.service multipathd.socket # systemctl start multipathd.service multipathd.socket Job failed.

The fix here is to add Wants=multipathd.socket in multipathd.service which is a weak dependency, so the chance of issues arising from it is low, but helps to solve this particular issue. [Impact] On Upgrade/Install, the multipathd.socket states that it is inactive. An error is seen during install/upgrade that says Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details. This issue affects the following packages: Lunar (0.8.8-1ubuntu2.1) Jammy (0.8.8-1ubuntu1.22.04.2) Focal (0.8.3-1ubuntu2.2) - On upgrade - On first install Mantic (0.9.4-5ubuntu3) - On first install The issue is because of the order of the systemctl command and the systemd unit files. multipathd.service has: ... After=multipathd.socket ... Also=multipathd.socket multipath-tools.postinst has: Jammy/Lunar/Focal (added by dh_systemd_start) deb-systemd-invoke start 'multipathd.service' 'multipathd.socket' >/dev/null || true Mantic (added by dh_installsystemd) if [ -n "$2" ]; then     _dh_action=restart else     _dh_action=start fi deb-systemd-invoke $_dh_action 'multipathd.service' 'multipathd.socket' >/dev/null || true In other words, systemctl stop multipathd.service multipathd.socket systemctl start multipathd.service multipathd.socket will fail systemctl stop multipathd.service multipathd.socket systemctl start multipathd.socket multipathd.service will succeed If we try to start the socket after the service, we get a failure.
