When a unit job finishes early (e.g. when fork(2) fails) triggered unit goes
through states
stopped->failed (or failed->failed),
in case a ExecStart= command fails unit passes through
stopped->starting->failed.
The former transition doesn't result in unit active/inactive timestamp being
updated and timer (OnUnitActiveSec= or OnUnitInactiveSec=) would use an expired
timestamp triggering immediately again (repeatedly).
This patch exploits timer's last trigger timestamp to ensure the timer isn't
triggered more frequently than OnUnitActiveSec=/OnUnitInactiveSec= period.
Steps to reproduce:
0) Create sample units:
cat >~/.config/systemd/user/looper.service <<EOD
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 2
EOD
cat >~/.config/systemd/user/looper.timer <<EOD
[Timer]
AccuracySec=5
OnUnitActiveSec=5
EOD
1) systemctl --user daemon-reload
2) systemctl --user start looper.timer
# to have first activation timestamp/sentinel
systemctl --user start looper.service
o Observe the service is being regularly triggered.
3) systemctl set-property user@$UID.service TasksMax=2
o Observe the tight looping as long as the looper.service cannot be started.
