description: |
  A problem was found with the httpd systemd unit files that frequently
  resulted in a deadlock when stopping or restarting the service.

  The unit file was configured to use the httpd -k graceful-stop command
  to stop the running instances of httpd. This command is asynchronous but
  systemd expects the command to be synchronous, only exiting once all the
  processes have stopped. This causes systemd to send a SIGTERM to all
  processes remaining in the cgroup which can cause problems for the
  shutdown process resulting in the deadlock. systemd would later send a
  SIGKILL which would properly kill the processes but this would only happen
  after a timeout.

  This update changes the systemd unit to not send the initial SIGTERM and
  thus waits for the processes to exit normally before (if things don't go
  well) calling SIGKILL as before after a timeout.
