Subject: core: add FileDescriptorStorePreserve=on-success option (#42160)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=20615d2d47a8526237da03390cfae3c657a7db72;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

core: add FileDescriptorStorePreserve=on-success option (#42160)

Currently with FileDescriptorStorePreserve=yes the FD store is kept
around
regardless of what happens to a unit, which is useful in many cases. But
in
some cases, for example when complex services crash horribly, it's hard
to
reason about what was in the intermediate state, and it's better to
start
fresh.

Add a new 'on-success' option for the FileDescriptorStorePreserve=
setting
that keeps it around only for as long as the unit doesn't go to a
persistently
failed state.

This is especially useful in combination with LUO, where we don't want
to
keep around LUO sessions created by units that then proceeded to crash
and
burn, and might be in a bad state afterwards.
