wireless: T6597: improve hostapd startup and corresponding smoketestsmergify/bp/circinus/pr-3833
This was found during smoketesting as thoase started to repeadingly fail in the last weeks File "/usr/libexec/vyos/tests/smoke/cli/test_interfaces_wireless.py", line 534, in test_wireless_security_station_address self.assertTrue(process_named_running('hostapd')) AssertionError: None is not true Digging into this revealed that this is NOT related to the smoketest coding but to hostapd/systemd instead. With a configured WIFI interface and calling: "sudo systemctl reload-or-restart hostapd@wlan1" multiple times in a short period caused systemd to report: "Jul 18 16:15:32 systemd[1]: hostapd@wlan1.service: Deactivated successfully." According to the internal systemd logic used in our version this is explained by: /* If there's a stop job queued before we enter the DEAD state, we shouldn't act on Restart=, in order to not * undo what has already been enqueued. */ if (unit_stop_pending(UNIT(s))) allow_restart = false; if (s->result == SERVICE_SUCCESS) s->result = f; if (s->result == SERVICE_SUCCESS) { unit_log_success(UNIT(s)); end_state = SERVICE_DEAD;` Where unit_log_success() generates the log message in question. Improve the restart login in the wireless interface script and an upgrade to hostapd solved the issue. (cherry picked from commit a67f49d99eda00998c425f9a663e138dbd0f7755)
