Subject: [PATCH] grub.d: Fix boot_indeterminate getting set on boot_success=0
boot
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The "grub.d: Split out boot success reset from menu auto hide script"
not only moved the code to clear boot_success and boot_indeterminate
but for some reason also mixed in some broken changes to the
boot_indeterminate handling.
The boot_indeterminate var is meant to suppress the boot menu after
a reboot from either a selinux-relabel or offline-updates. These
2 special boot scenarios do not set boot_success since there is no
successfull interaction with the user. Instead they increment
boot_indeterminate, and if it is 1 and only when it is 1, so the
first reboot after a "special" boot we suppress the menu.
To ensure that we do show the menu if we somehow get stuck in a
"special" boot loop where we do special-boots without them
incrementing boot_indeterminate, the code before the
"grub.d: Split out boot success reset from menu auto hide script"
commit would increment boot_indeterminate once when it is 1, so that
even if the "special" boot reboot-loop immediately we would show the
menu on the next boot.
That commit broke this however, because it not only moves the code,
it also changes it from only "incrementing" boot_indeterminate once to
always incrementing it, except when boot_success == 1 (and we reset it).
This broken behavior causes the following problem:
1. Boot a broken kernel, system hangs, power-cycle
2. boot_success now != 1, so we increment boot_indeterminate from 0
(unset!) to 1. User either simply tries again, or makes some changes
but the end-result still is a system hang, power-cycle
3. Now boot_indeterminate==1 so we do not show the menu even though the
previous boot failed -> BAD
This commit fixes this by restoring the behavior of setting
boot_indeterminate to 2 when it was 1 before.
