[PATCH 1/4] multipathd: don't flood system with sd_notify calls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



DAEMON_RUNNING is only used by checkerloop to indicate that
path checkers are running. checkerloop switches back and forth
between DAEMON_IDLE and DAEMON_RUNNING in every iteration, i.e.
it performs two status changes per second on an idle system.
The repeated sd_notify() calls cause a lot of traffic on dbus as
systemd forwards these messages on the system bus. This can be
seen with systemd.log_level=debug. Better skip these notifications
that don't provide useful information to the user, who is very
unlikely to catch the daemon in "running" state anyway.
