When Type=simple, systemd will consider the service activated immediately
after specified in ExecStart process is started. If there is downstream
service depending on the state prepared in ExecStart, there will be race condition.
For example, issue #390. In this case, database.service calls database.sh, which
calls docker run or docker start -a to start database container. However, systemd
considers database.service successfully started at the time database.sh begins,
not after docker run finishes. As database.service is consider started, bgp.service
can be started. The redis database, which bgp service depends on, might or might not
have been started at this time point.
To fix this issue (and still keeping the functionality to monitor docker status with
systemd), we split the ExecStart process into an ExecStartPre part and an ExecStart
part. docker run is splitted into docker run -d then docker attach , while docker start
-a is splitted into docker start and then docker attach. In this way, we make sure
the downstream services are blocked until container is successfully started.
Current implementation of swss and syncd causes a lot
of problems in terms of dependencies and synchronization.
Instead of handling them in separate services, we now
start and stop them both as a single entity.

( All device-specific files now reside under /device directory in a <vendor-name>/<platform-string>/<hardware-SKU> directory structure in repo.
* Device-specific files are now packaged into a Debian package (sonic-device-data) and are now installed to /usr/share/sonic/device/<platform-string>/<hardware-SKU>/ directory on switch.
- Add a functionality to get SNMP community from DHCP (option 224)
- Add a functionality to get minigraph from http service instead of using default minigraph
- The url for graph service is passed through DHCP option 225
- This feature is by default disabled. Modify rule/config to enable it on build time, or modify /etc/sonic/graph_service_url on run time.
- Fix a bug that getting hostname from DHCP is not working correctly
* Single image
* Fix review comments
* Update syncd service. Add HW mgmt to Mellanox single image.
