Subject: core: do not leak resources when handling stale alias state on reload (#41986)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c301966df770962d2fce4baba51214073d192d45;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

core: do not leak resources when handling stale alias state on reload (#41986)

The fix for the corrupted state when units become aliased on reload
leaks the now-aliased unit's resources, which become untracked and
essentially lost.

While fixing the state corruption is of course necessary, leaking
processes/etc. is not ideal for a system and service manager, so
instead attempt to keep track of them by creating stub units
on-the-fly.
This way resources are not leaked, there are clear indications of
where they moved, and all state can be tracked as expected.
