Subject[REGRESSION] 4.11-rc: systemd doesn't see most devices
There is a frustrating regression in 4.11 that I've been trying to
track down. The symptoms are that a large number of systemd devices
don't show up. So instead of "systemctl | grep .device | wc -l"
listing some 50+ lines which look like this:

sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:14.0-usb1-1\x2d7-1\x2d7:1.0-bluetooth-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-7/1-7:1.0/bluetooth/hci0

I only get 5-10 lines of devices. This is problematic because it
means that the wifi firmware is not automatically loaded. More
annoyingly, because the device mapper systemd devices are missing:

sys-devices-virtual-block-dm\x2d0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-0

... the boot hangs for 90 seconds because it can't fsck devices that
systemd doesn't think exists yet. (I'm using LVM on top of an
encrypted block device, and it doesn't think the dm-crypt device is
created, although given that the root file system is an LVM volume,
obviously LVM and the LUKS setup had worked just fine --- and people
wonder why some folks hate systemd. :-)

The failure past v4.10-5879-gcaa59428971d starts starts becoming
flaky, so sometimes I have to reboot three times or more before the
failure shows up. This is why the bisect has been taking so long, and
so while I'm *faily* certain that the failure is somewhere in the
staging branch merge, it's possible that one of the earlier "git
bisect good"'s are in error. I have been trying multiple reboots
before concluding that a bisection point is "good" but this takes a
huge amount of time, since having GRUB unlock an encrypted LVM volume
takes a long time, and I have to type the decryption password twice at
each boot.

The end of the bisection doesn't make any sense, and so at this point
I've given up, and am posting this to LKML with Linus and Greg cc'ed,
in the hopes that someone else has seen this, or understands what sort
of failure would cause systemd to not think various devices are
present and/or finished initializing. I'm using a Debian testing
distribution, and it would be really good to figure out what the ?!@#
is going on, since if 4.11 releases with this, I suspect a lot of
people will be affected. Unfortunately, while it's not particularly
reliable deep into the bisection, at -rc3 or -rc5 it's **damned**
reproducible. I know how to work around the systemd brain damage for
now by using rc.local, futzing with the dependencies, manually loading
the Wifi module by hand, and (sometimes) living without Audio, but
this is requires a lot of hacking, and it's not, shall we say, a
particularly nice user experience. :-(

P.S. I've also attached the output of "systemd | grep devices" so you
can see what happens in a good and bad case, in case that helps.
