[systemd-devel] Can kdbus send signal to the source connection?

Sat Jun 20 19:28:33 PDT 2015

Hi,
    After removing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,  all seems to work OK.

Thank you for your help!

Best Regards,

Hi,
     With my kdbus broadcast patch, I found that the "systemd" process would endlessly emit the signal "type=signal sender=:1.2 destination=n/a object=/org/freedesktop/systemd1/agent interface=org.freedesktop.systemd1.Agent member=Released ".    What does this signal  mean ?

    I searched the source codes, and found that systemd-cgroups-agent would  send this signal. But from the log, systemd-cgroups-agent only send this signal several times , not endlessly.

And I cannot locate the place where "systemd" send such signal. 

Following are the logs:

Hi,
   I'm so sorry for not giving you more details,  I'm a freshman here, but I'll try to do better in the future.
I will give the answers under each of the questions .

Yes.  It's OK with DBus.

Yes. Without modifying kdbus_bus_broadcast(),  I can always get the ip.

Never.

I just commented out the following two lines in the kdbus_bus_broadc
//         if (conn_dst->id == kmsg->msg.src_id)
//                continue;

As for network, it did work well without my patch.

Acctually, I  cannot connet to the device by "adb". But  I did run "netcfg" in the terminal, and eth0 didn't get ip as before.

kdbus-4.1-rc1

systemd v219 
commit: d736e4f3e76daca4ab1b1fc444737e5ee20a27cd

Yes , I did.

3.10.33, we back-ported the kdbus to our kernel.

From dmesg , I can see that the "systemd" process  calls kdbus_bus_broadcast() endlessly, and the condition " if (conn_dst->id == kmsg->msg.src_id)" is always true.
It seems that  when booting,  the "systemd " process enters a  dead loop by  sending some signal to the source connection. 
So , systemd cannot boot any  service , including network.

Thanks!
