An update that contains one feature and has seven fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for systemd fixes the following issues:

  • Switch I/O scheduler from 'mq-deadline' to 'bfq' for rotating disks(HD's) (jsc#SLE-21032, bsc#1134353).
  • Multipath: Rules weren't applied to dm devices (bsc#1188713).
  • Ignore obsolete "elevator" kernel parameter (bsc#1184994).
  • Remove kernel unsupported single-queue block I/O.
  • Make sure the versions of both udev and systemd packages are always the same (bsc#1189480).

  • Avoid error message when updating active udev on sockets restart (bsc#1188291).

  • Merge of v246.16, for a complete list of changes, visit: https://github.com/openSUSE/systemd/compare/8d8f5fc31eece95644b299b784bbfb8f836d0108...f5c33d9f82d3d782d28938df9ff09484360c540d

  • Drop 1007-tmpfiles-follow-SUSE-policies.patch: Since most of the tmpfiles config files shipped by upstream are ignored (see previous commit "Drop most of the tmpfiles that deal with generic paths"), this patch is no more relevant.

Additional fixes: - core: make sure cgroup_oom_queue is flushed on manager exit. - cgroup: do 'catchup' for unit cgroup inotify watch files. - journalctl: never fail at flushing when the flushed flag is set (bsc#1188588). - manager: reexecute on SIGRTMIN+25, user instances only. - manager: fix HW watchdog when systemd starts before driver loaded (bsc#1189446). - pid1: watchdog modernizations.
