Hi, I have stumbled on a race condition on systemd-run --scope command. Due to race condition, unit might show up as active/running even though there is no process in the cgroup.
My best guess is we are missing the cgroup notification but when? - Could it be that before systemd processes StartTransientUnit message, before systemd places PID to the .scope cgroup folder, process exits? - Could it be that systemd somehow, occasionally misses the notification sent from cgroup. Before I go deep, does anyone have any idea? Once the race happens, following is the output of show and status commands. Notice there is no process in the output of status. 'systemctl status aa_40.scope' gives: ● aa_40.scope - AA application 'aa_40' Loaded: loaded (/run/systemd/system/aa_40.scope; static) Drop-In: /run/systemd/system/aa_40.scope.d └─50-Description.conf Active: active (running) since Fri 2014-09-26 13:59:32 GMT; 40min ago Sep 26 13:59:32 axis-00408cc5a884 systemd[1]: Started AA application 'aa_40'.
