As documented in systemd.path(5):
When a service unit triggered by a path unit terminates (regardless
whether it exited successfully or failed), monitored paths are
checked immediately again, and the service accordingly restarted
instantly.
This commit implements this behaviour for PathExists=, PathExistsGlob=,
and DirectoryNotEmpty=. These predicates are essentially
"level-triggered": the service should be activated whenever the
predicate is true. PathChanged= and PathModified=, on the other hand,
are "edge-triggered": the service should only be activated when the
predicate *becomes* true.
The behaviour has been broken since at least as far back as commit
8fca6944c2 ("path: stop watching path specs once we triggered the target
unit"). This commit had systemd stop monitoring inotify whenever the
triggered unit was activated. Unfortunately this meant it never updated
the ->inotify_triggered flag, so it never rechecked the path specs when
the triggered unit deactivated.
With this commit, systemd rechecks all paths specs whenever the
triggered unit deactivates. If any PathExists=, PathExistsGlob= or
DirectoryNotEmpty= predicate passes, the triggered unit is reactivated.
If the target unit is activated by something outside of the path unit,
the path unit immediately transitions to a running state. This ensures
the path unit stops monitoring inotify in this situation.
With this change in place, commit d7cf8c24d4 ("core/path: fix spurious
triggering of PathExists= on restart/reload") is no longer necessary.
The path unit (and its triggered unit) is now always active whenever
the PathExists= predicate passes, so there is no spurious restart when
systemd is reloaded or restarted.
During installation, meson complains:

It *is* convenient to have those files as symlinks, but it is also confusing,
because symlinks create aliases, and it seems that in those cases we actually
don't want aliases (at least in the case of loopy*.service that'd make the test
pointless).
