+ 
+ === Begin SRU Template ===
+ [Impact]
+ Cloud-init's inclusion of a systemd drop-in file
+   /lib/systemd/system/[email protected]/cloud-init.conf
+ Caused a regression on systems that had entries in /etc/fstab
+ that were not authored by cloud-init (specifically that did not have
+ something like 'x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service' in their
+ filesystem options.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ The test can be done on any cloud that has space to put a non-root
+ filesystem.
+ 
+ a.) launch instance
+ b.) upgrade to cloud-init to -updates pocket
+ c.) create a filesystem and put it in /etc/fstab
+     bdev="/dev/sdb1"
+     mkdir -p /mnt
+     mkfs.ext4 -F "$bdev"
+     echo "$bdev /mnt auto defaults 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
+ 
+     reboot
+ d.) see mention of 'ordering cycle' in journal
+ 
+     $ journalctl -o short-precise  | grep -i ordering.cycle
+     Sep 15 14:08:48.331033 xenial-20170911-174122 systemd[1]: 
local-fs.target: Found ordering cycle on local-fs.target/start
+     Sep 15 14:08:48.331097 xenial-20170911-174122 systemd[1]: 
local-fs.target: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job mnt.mount/start
+     Sep 15 14:08:48.331108 xenial-20170911-174122 systemd[1]: mnt.mount: Job 
mnt.mount/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with 
local-fs.target/start
+ 
+ e.) upgrade to proposed
+ f.) reboot
+ g.) expect no mention of ordering cycle as seen in 'd'
+     $ journalctl -o short-precise  | grep -i ordering.cycle || echo "no 
cycles"
+     no cycles
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This change will mean that bug 1691489 is present again.
+ That bug is much less severe and affects a much smaller set of users.

  We're running several machines with
  
    cloud-init_0.7.9-153-g16a7302f-0ubuntu1~16.04.2
  
  without problems.
  
  Just upgraded all machines to
  
    cloud-init_0.7.9-233-ge586fe35-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
  
  and rebooted them all.
  
  All machines report ordering cycles in their dmesg, resulting in systemd 
breaking the
  loop by NOT starting some important services, e.g. mouting local filesystems:
  
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487945 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found ordering 
cycle on networking.service/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487952 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found 
dependency on local-fs.target/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487960 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found 
dependency on home.mount/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487968 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found 
dependency on systemd-fsck@dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-Home.service/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487975 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found 
dependency on cloud-init.service/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.487982 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Found 
dependency on networking.service/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.488297 noname systemd[1]: networking.service: Breaking 
ordering cycle by deleting job local-fs.target/start
  Sep 14 15:43:52.488306 noname systemd[1]: local-fs.target: Job 
local-fs.target/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with 
networking.service/start
  
  % cat /etc/fstab
  LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs /        ext4   defaults,discard        0 1
  LABEL=Home            /home    xfs    defaults,logbufs=8      0 2
  
  In this case /home isn't mounted as a result of systemd breaking the
  loop, resulting in services depending on /home not being started.
  
  1. Tell us your cloud provider
  
  AWS
  
  2. dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' cloud-init
  
  0.7.9-233-ge586fe35-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
  
  3. Any appropriate cloud-init configuration you can provide us
  
  Nothing special - worked with 0.7.9-153-g16a7302f-0ubuntu1~16.04.2 on
  all machines without hassle.
  
  The problem is this change:
  
  diff -uaNr 153/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]/cloud-init.conf 
233/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]/cloud-init.conf

  WORKAROUND
  ==========
  
  I just did a
  
    rm /lib/systemd/system/[email protected]/cloud-init.conf
  
  on all machines and rebooted them: no more dependency loops reported,
  everything works again.
