Currently the resolv-prepender dispatcher script starts the systemd
service and then waits for it to complete. This can cause the
dispatcher script to time out if the runtimecfg image pull is slow
or if resolv.conf does not get populated in a timely fashion (it's
not entirely clear to me why the latter happens, but it does). This
can cause configure-ovs to time out if there are a large number of
interfaces on the system triggering the dispatcher script, such as
when there are many VLANs configured.
To avoid this, we can stop waiting for the systemd service in the
dispatcher script. In fact, there's an argument that we shouldn't
wait since we need to be able to handle asynchronous execution
anyway for the slow image pull case (which was the entire reason the
script was split into a service the way it is).
I have found a few possible issues with async execution however:
* If we start the service with an empty $DHCP6_FQDN_FQDN value and
then later get a new value for that, we may not correctly apply
the new value if the service is still running because we only
ever "systemd start" the service, which is a noop if the service
is already running.
* Similarly, if new IP4/6_DOMAINS values come in on a later
connection that may not be reflected in the service either.
Even though these may sound like the same problem, I mention them
separately on purpose because the solutions are different:
* For the DHCP6 case, we can move that logic back into the dispatcher
script so we will always set the hostname no matter what happens
with the prepender code. One could argue that this should be in
its own script anyway since it's largely unrelated to resolv.conf.
* For the domains case, we do need to restart the service since the
domains are involved in resolv.conf generation. However, we do not
want to restart the service every time since that may be unnecessary
and if we restart in the middle of the image pull it could result
in a corrupt image (the whole thing we were trying to avoid by
running this as a service in the first place).
To avoid problems with restarting the service when we don't want to,
I've added logic that only restarts the service if there are
changed env values AND the runtimecfg image has already been pulled.
This should mean the worst case scenario is that we don't properly
set the domains and resolv.conf is temporarily generated with and
incorrect search line. This should be resolved the next time any
event that triggers the dispatcher script happens.
