[dm-devel] [PATCH 6/9] multipathd: Implement systemd watchdog integration

Hannes Reinecke hare at suse.de
Tue Nov 26 11:41:27 UTC 2013


In the past there have been several instances where multipathd
would hang with the checkerloop as some path checker might not
be able to return in time.
This patch now activates the watchdog feature from systemd
to shutdown (and possibly restart) multipathd in these
situations.
Due to a bug in systemd watchdog integration only works
correctly with later version (> 206), so watchdog integration
has been disabled per default on earlier implementations.

+.SH "SYSTEMD INTEGRATION"
+When compiled with systemd support two systemd service files are
+installed,
+.I multipathd.service
+and
+.I multipathd.socket
+The
+.I multipathd.socket
+service instructs systemd to intercept the CLI command socket, so
+that any call to the CLI interface will start-up the daemon if
+required.
+The
+.I multipathd.service
+file carries the definitions for controlling the multipath daemon.
+The daemon itself uses the
+.B sd_notify(3)
+interface to communicate with systemd. The multipath daemon supports
+the
+.I WatchdogSec=
+feature from systemd (see \fBsystemd.service(5)\fR).
+Please note that systemd prior to version 207 has issues which prevent
+the systemd-provided watchdog from working correctly. So for earlier
+versions of systemd watchdog support will not be enabled per default.
