Fixed determine/process reboot-cause service dependency (#17406)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Signed-off-by: anamehra anamehra@cisco.com

Why I did it
Fixes #16990 for 202305/202205 branch

Note: This PR is for 202305 and 202205. For master, a new PR will be raised with a new field (Uphold=) provided by debian bookworm to handle the dependency failure restartability of the processes.

determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause service does not start If the database service fails to restart in the first attempt. Even if the Database service succeeds in the next attempt, these reboot-cause services do not start.

The process-reboot-cause service also does not restart if the docker or database service restarts, which leads to an empty reboot-cause history

deploy-mg from sonic-mgmt also triggers the docker service restart. The restart of the docker service caused the issue stated in 2 above. The docker restart also triggers determine-reboot-cause to restart which creates an additional reboot-cause file in history and modifies the last reboot-cause.

This PR fixes these issues by making both processes start again when dependency meets after dependency failure, making both processes restart when the database service restarts, and preventing duplicate processing of the last reboot reason.

Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO 25892856
How I did it
Modified systemd unit files to make determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause services restartable when the database service restarts.
On the restart, the determine-reboot-cause service should not recreate a new reboot-cause entry in the database. Added check for first start or restart to skip entry for restart case.
How to verify it
On single asic pizza box:

Installed the image and check reboot-cause history
restart database service and verify that determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause services also restart. Verify that reboot-cause shows correct data and no new entry is created for restart.
On Chassis:

Installed the image and check reboot-cause history
restart the database service and verify that determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause services also restart. Verify that reboot-cause shows correct data and no new entry is created for restart.
Reboot LC. On Supervicor, stop database-chassis service.
Let database service on LC fail the first time. determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause would fail to start due to dependency failure
start database-chassis on Supervisor. Database service on LC should now start successfully.
Verify determine-reboot-cause and process-reboot-cause also starts
Verify show reboot-cause history output
