+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "test-path: increase timeout"
+
+This partially reverts commit 500727c220354b81b68ed6667d9a6f0fafe3ba19.
+
+I was confused by the error message: the test says it timed out, but that's
+because it's waiting for a failed unit to come back to life. There is no actual
+timeout.
+
+So let's keep the minor refactoring that was done, but revert to the old short
+timeout.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test-path: do not fail the test if we fail to start some
+ service
+
+The test was failing because it couldn't start the service:
+
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+path-modified.path: state = waiting; result = success
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+path-modified.path: state = waiting; result = success
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+path-modified.path: state = waiting; result = success
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+path-modified.path: state = waiting; result = success
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+path-modified.path: state = waiting; result = success
+path-modified.service: state = failed; result = exit-code
+Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
+-.slice: Failed to enable/disable controllers on cgroup /system.slice/kojid.service, ignoring: Permission denied
+path-modified.service: Failed to create cgroup /system.slice/kojid.service/path-modified.service: Permission denied
+path-modified.service: Failed to attach to cgroup /system.slice/kojid.service/path-modified.service: No such file or directory
+path-modified.service: Failed at step CGROUP spawning /bin/true: No such file or directory
+path-modified.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=219/CGROUP
+path-modified.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
+Test timeout when testing path-modified.path
+
+Let's just ignore the failure here. Services can occasionally fail to start,
+there's not much we can do in that case.
