Hi, We are experiencing an unbreakable loop in manager_dispatch_gc_queue. Problem happens when systemd runs in sysV compatibility mode (Porky enables this).
Seems like manager_dispatch_gc_queue's while loop gets stuck and seems like unit_gc_sweep cannot make a decision about the unit. As a result, it marks the unit with offset_unsure and adds the unit back to gc queue. If I am reading the code correctly recursive unit_gc_sweep will never be able to remove the unit from the gc queue if it is referenced by another unit and if another unit is referenced by the unit. A is referenced by B B is referenced by A We have this circular referenced by dependency between units and I am quite sure they are due to sysV compatibility. I know that systemd does not allow circular dependency between units (ex, wants, or after) but do we allow circular referenced by dependency? If so, then it is expected that manager_dispatch_gc_queue gets stuck. We can reproduce it on 216/217 when we isolate a target. Note: Line http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/core/manager.c?id=941a643569dc6b53d0b334276d2a3cc0ed159e88#n875 should be before http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/core/manager.c?id=941a643569dc6b53d0b334276d2a3cc0ed159e88#n872 since unit_gc_sweep() sets the u->in_gc_queue = true if it cannot make a decision and we set it back to false.
