Ludovic Courtès 3e2bd2e30b services: nscd: Cause PID 1 to drop nscd database mappings on shutdown. ... Partly fixes guix/guix#4269. Fixes a bug whereby shepherd (PID 1) could retain memory mappings for /var/run/nscd/dbXXX, which are created by glibc’s NSS from database file descriptors sent by nscd. Those mappings could then prevent ‘root-file-system’ from re-mounting the root file system as read-write. This change causes PID 1 to drop these mappings. PID 1 typically calls libc database functions such as ‘getgr’ when dealing with AF_UNIX endpoints for socket-activated services, to look up the socket’s owner and group. This is where the bug would manifest. The regression may have been introduced by 85ac164c41, which caused nscd to handle the password and group databases. * gnu/services/base.scm (nscd-shepherd-service): In ‘stop’ procedure, call ‘getpw’, ‘getgr’, and ‘getaddrinfo’. * gnu/tests/base.scm (run-root-unmount-test) <"open libc NSS database">: New test. (%test-root-unmount): Add #:imported-modules.
