Subject: core: when skipping state deserializing units, also skip job subsections (#41957)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=143f5911b158d05b36c5b8b40456f5908c0b4d36;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

core: when skipping state deserializing units, also skip job subsections (#41957)

If a unit has active jobs, when it gets serialized there are job
subsections, each with their own empty line marker. The skipping
function ignores this and skips until the marker, but then leaves
the job in place, breaking deserialization.
Consume jobs subsections too.

This shows up now that there's TEST-07-PID1.alias-corruption,
which occasionally fails when the aliased unit happens to
still have a job when the reexec happens.
