RedHat: Use KillMode=process for systemd client
Our openafs-client.service systemd unit file contains a deprecated option, KillMode=none. Using this option results in the following message with systemd version 246 or later: /lib/systemd/system/openafs-client.service:22: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed. Without this option, if someone runs 'systemctl stop openafs-client' and the client fails to shutdown (e.g., because files are accessing /afs), systemd will try to kill all of our afsd processes. Our afsd processes usually either cannot be killed, or will cause unstable behavior if they are killed (because e.g. AFSDB requests cannot be fulfilled). If systemd cannot kill all of our afsd processes, it will wait for a timeout before reporting an error. By default, it waits 90 seconds before sending SIGTERMs, and another 90 seconds before sending SIGKILLs. This means that by default, if someone is using /afs, 'systemctl stop openafs-client' will hang for 3 minutes (!), even though we know immediately that we cannot stop the client. One way to avoid this is using KillMode=none, which skips killing our processes and waiting for any timeouts. To avoid using a deprecated option, switch to using KillMode=process. With KillMode=process, after a failed 'stop', systemd will only try to kill the 'main' pid run by ExecStart. The 'main' pid is detected by systemd either automatically by some heuristic (with GuessMainPID=yes), or by a pid file (when PIDFile= is set). If we disable GuessMainPID and don't set PIDFile, systemd will not try to terminate any of our processes on shutdown. systemd will still try to kill our other remaining processes using SIGKILL, but we can disable that with SendSIGKILL=no. To be safe, also specify KillSignal=SIGCONT to make sure systemd doesn't actually forcibly kill any of our afsd processes. None of this matters during a successful client shutdown, since then all of our afsd processes go away after a successful unmount, and there's nothing to cleanup. Our behavior during a failed 'stop' is still not ideal. After a failed 'stop', systemd will flag the service as "failed (Result: exit-code)". This is similar to a service that is stopped successfully (deactivated), and running 'systemctl stop' on it again does nothing. Running 'systemctl start openafs-client' will try to start the service again, but this will fail because of the ExecStartPre check that runs 'fs sysname', and the service will still be considered failed/deactivated. The only way to fix the situation is for an administrator to run the shutdown sequence manually, unmounting /afs and removing the kernel module themselves, and then starting the client again. That behavior is unfortunate, but seems difficult or impossible to avoid with a single systemd service.
