+Subject: [PATCH] fix(multipath): enable service but disable socket
+
+This fixes #2289, #2175 where in the cleanup hook running multipath
+binary triggers activation of multipathd.service after it is stopped
+as dracut prepares to switch root in initrd-cleanup.service.
+
+An earlier fix from PR #2010 was based on an old systemd behavior where
+missing socket will prevent the service from being enabled. This does
+not seem to be the case anymore. For completeness, I'm disabling the
+socket alone after enabling service.
+
+At the end of the day we should probably remove `Also=multipathd.socket`
+from `multipathd.service` and upsteam this change. The whole point of
+having a socket enabled separately from the service is that systemd can
+start the service as-needed. Binding enable/disable status together
+would not be very sane.
