[Bug 1881312] Re: systemd-run does not make the new scope unit part of the slice specified via the --slice arg

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/229-4ubuntu21.29 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

Title:
  systemd-run does not make the new scope unit part of the slice
  specified via the --slice arg

Status in systemd:
  Unknown
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]

  running 'systemd-run --scope --slice=$SLICE $PROGRAM' does not start
  the program under $SLICE, instead it starts it under system.slice

  [test case]

  root:~# systemd-run --scope --slice=user-1000.slice sleep 1000
  Running scope as unit run-r16d872f1b0894b88a79421a890269e6c.scope.
  ^Z
  [3]+  Stopped                 systemd-run --scope --slice=user-1000.slice sleep 1000
  root:~# bg
  [3]+ systemd-run --scope --slice=user-1000.slice sleep 1000 &
  root:~# systemctl show -p Slice run-r16d872f1b0894b88a79421a890269e6c.scope
  Slice=system.slice

  [regression potential]

  This defers running the manager unit load queue when setting the slice
  for a transient unit, as well as actually passing the slice parameter
  over the bus when using --scope, so any regression would very likely
  involve incorrectly setting the slice for a scope and/or problems when
  processing transient units that specify a slice.

  [scope]

  this is needed only for Xenial.

  this is fixed upstream by
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3094
  which is included starting in v230, so is included in Bionic and later.
