+Subject: [PATCH] libct/cgroups/systemd: eliminate runc/systemd race
+
+In case it takes more than 1 second for systemd to create a unit,
+startUnit() times out with a warning and then runc proceeds
+(to create cgroups using fs manager and so on).
+
+Now runc and systemd are racing, and multiple scenarios are possible.
+
+In one such scenario, by the time runc calls systemd manager's Apply()
+the unit is not yet created, the dbusConnection.SetUnitProperties()
+call fails with "unit xxx.scope not found", and the whole container
+start also fails.
+
+To eliminate the race, we need to return an error in case the timeout is
+hit.
+
+To reduce the chance to fail, increase the timeout from 1 to 30 seconds,
+to not error out too early on a busy/slow system (and times like 3-5
+seconds are not unrealistic).
+
+While at it, as the timeout is quite long now, make sure to not leave
+a stray timer.
