3* Many manager configuration settings that are only applicable to user
4 manager or system manager can be always set. It would be better to reject
5 them when parsing config.

f38afcd0 16* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 17
07eabc2b
LB
18* dbus:
19 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
20 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
21
22* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
23
24* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
25
26* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
27
28* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
29
30* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
31
32* register catalog database signature as file magic
33
34* zsh shell completion:
35 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
36 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
37
38* systemctl status should know about 'systemd-analyze calendar ... --iterations='
39* If timer has just OnInactiveSec=..., it should fire after a specified time
40 after being started.
41
42* write blog stories about:
43 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
44 - enabling dbus services
45 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
46 - remote access
47 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
48 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
49 - auto-restart
50 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
51 - the journal HTTP iface
52 - non-cgroup resource management
53 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
54 - refreshed, longer missions statement
55 - calendar time events
56 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
57 - how to create your own target
58 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
59 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
60
61Regularly:
62
63* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
64
65* check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
66
67* pahole
68
69* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
70
71* use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
72
73* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
74
5e524b40
LP
75Janitorial Clean-ups:
76
5e524b40
LP
77* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
78
bb527e11
LP
79* rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
80 semantics, like we do for device.c now
81
c6407108
LP
82Features:
83
a5bf435e
LP
84* logind introduce two types of sessions: "heavy" and "light". The former would
85 be our current sessions. But the latter would be a new type of session that
86 is mostly the same but does not pull in user@.service or wait for it. Then,
87 allow configuration which type of session is desired via pam_systemd
88 parameters, and then make user@.service's session one of these "light" ones.
89 People could then choose to make FTP sessions and suchlike "light" if they
90 don't want the service manager to be started for that.
91
da3ab57c
LP
92* /etc/veritytab: allow that the roothash column can be specified as fs path
93 including a path to an AF_UNIX path, similar to how we do things with the
94 keys of /etc/crypttab. That way people can store/provide the roothash
95 externally and provide to us on demand only.
96
636c8a1f
LP
97* add high-level lockdown level for GPT dissection logic: e.g. an enum that can
98 be ANY (to mount anything), TRUSTED (to require that /usr is on signed
99 verity, but rest doesn't matter), LOCKEDDOWN (to require that everything is
100 on signed verity, except for ESP), SUPERLOCKDOWN (like LOCKEDDOWN but ESP not
101 allowed). And then maybe some flavours of that that declare what is expected
102 from home/srv/var… Then, add a new cmdline flag to all tools that parse such
103 images, to configure this. Also, add a kernel cmdline option for this, to be
104 honoured by the gpt auto generator.
105
106* nspawn: maybe optionally insert .nspawn file as GPT partition into images, so
107 that such container images are entirely stand-alone and can be updated as
108 one.
109
3fc0688d
LP
110* we probably should extend the root verity hash of the root fs into some PCR
111 on boot. (i.e. maybe add a crypttab option tpm2-measure=8 or so to measure it
112 into PCR 8)
113
114* add a "policy" to the dissection logic. i.e. a bit mask what is OK to mount,
115 what must be read-only, what requires encryption, and what requires
116 authentication.
117
f4529c4d
LP
118* in uefi stub: query firmware regarding which PCRs are being used, store that
119 in EFI var. then use this when enrolling TPM2 in cryptsetup to verify that
120 the selected PCRs actually are used by firmware.
121
322b3b38
LP
122* rework recursive read-only remount to use new mount API
123
9c53de8b
LP
124* PAM: pick auf one authentication token from credentials
125
9a6549f6
LP
126* tpm2: figure out if we need to do anything for TPM2 parameter encryption? And
127 if so, what precisely?
128
9a6549f6
LP
129* when mounting disk images: if IMAGE_ID/IMAGE_VERSION is set in os-release
130 data in the image, make sure the image filename actually matches this, so
131 that images cannot be misused.
132
aca8ecc3
LP
133* New udev block device symlink names:
134 /dev/disk/by-parttypelabel/<pttype>/<ptlabel>. Use case: if pt label is used
135 as partition image version string, this is a safe way to reference a specific
136 version of a specific partition type, in particular where related partitions
137 are processed (e.g. verity + rootfs both named "LennartOS_0.7").
138
cf2ab2e7
LP
139* in sd-id128: also parse UUIDs in RFC4122 URN syntax (i.e. chop off urn:uuid: prefix)
140
31892e8d
LP
141* DynamicUser= + StateDirectory= → use uid mapping mounts, too, in order to
142 make dirs appear under right UID.
143
f3e58b55
LP
144* systemd-sysext: optionally, run it in initrd already, before transitioning
145 into host, to open up possibility for services shipped like that.
146
49bd547b
LP
147* maybe add a tool that displays most recent journal logs as QR code to scan
148 off screen and run it automatically on boot failures, emergency logs and
149 such. Use DRM APIs directly, see
150 https://github.com/dvdhrm/docs/blob/master/drm-howto/modeset.c for an example
151 for doing that.
152
153* pass systemd-detect-virt result to generators as env var. Modifying behaviour
154 based on whether we are virtualized or not is a pretty common thing, hence
155 maybe just pass that info along for free in an env var. We cache the result
156 anyway, so it's basically free.
157
24063ba1 158* introduce /dev/disk/root/* symlinks that allow referencing partitions on the
f3e58b55
LP
159 disk the rootfs is on in a reasonably secure way. (or maybe: add
160 /dev/gpt-auto-{home,srv,boot,…} similar in style to /dev/gpt-auto-root as we
161 already have it.
24063ba1 162
7ed72cfa
LP
163* whenever we receive fds via SCM_RIGHTS make sure none got dropped due to the
164 reception limit the kernel silently enforces.
165
66e52d22
LP
166* add an Open= setting to service unit files that can open arbitrary file
167 system paths at service startup time and pass them to the service process via
168 our usual socket activation protocol. If passed path refers to AF_UNIX
169 socket: connect() to it.
170
171* add a ConnectSocket= setting to service unit files, that may reference a
172 socket unit, and which will connect to the socket defined therein, and pass
173 the resulting fd to the service program via socket activation proto.
174
175* Add a concept of ListenStream=anonymous to socket units: listen on a socket
176 that is deleted in the fs. Usecase would be with ConnectSocket= above.
177
14f7d087
LP
178* importd: support image signature verification with PKCS#7 + OpenBSD signify
179 logic, as alternative to crummy gpg
180
dfbbb4f7
LP
181* sysext: optionally, if the merged trees allow it use bind mounts instead of
182 overlayfs
183
9786ba13
LP
184* add "systemd-analyze debug" + AttachDebugger= in unit files: The former
185 specifies a command to execute; the latter specifies that an already running
186 "systemd-analyze debug" instance shall be contacted and execution paused
187 until it gives an OK. That way, tools like gdb or strace can be safely be
188 invoked on processes forked off PID 1.
189
38abd1bf
LP
190* expose MS_NOSYMFOLLOW in various places
191
199b097d
LP
192* allow passing creds into kernel when booting: in EFI stub, collect creds
193 files from ESP directory, generate CPIO archive on the fly from them, so that
194 they are dropped into /run/initramfs/creds/ and pass to kernel as additional
195 initrd. Then, use LoadCredentialEncrypted=foo:/run/initramfs/creds/foo to
196 load them.
197
198* make LoadCredential= automatically find credentials in /etc/creds,
199 /run/creds, … and so on, if path component is unqualified
200
201* teach LoadCredential=/LoadCredentialEncrypted= to load credentials from
202 kernel cmdline, maybe: LoadCredentialEncrypted=foobar:proc-cmdline:foobar
203
204* credentials system:
205 - acquire from kernel command line
206 - acquire from EFI variable?
207 - acquire via via ask-password?
208 - acquire creds via keyring?
209 - pass creds via keyring?
210 - pass creds via memfd?
211 - acquire + decrypt creds from pkcs11?
212 - make systemd-cryptsetup acquire pw via creds logic
213 - make PAMName= acquire pw via creds logic
214 - make macsec/wireguard code in networkd read key via creds logic
215 - make gatwayd/remote read key via creds logic
216 - add sd_notify() command for flushing out creds not needed anymore
217
218* teach LoadCredential= the ability to load all files from a specified dir as
219 individual creds
220
221* add tpm.target or so which is delayed until TPM2 device showed up in case
222 firmware indicates there is one.
07eabc2b 223
9aea1e58
LP
224* tpm2: support a PIN policy, i.e. allowing windows-style short authentication
225 passwords by using the TPM2 to enforce ratelimiting and such, use for
226 cryptsetup and homed
227
80670e74
LP
228* Add concept for upgrading TPM2 enrollments, maybe a new switch
229 --pcrs=4:<hash> or so, i.e. select a PCR to include in the hash, and then
230 override its hash
231
07eabc2b
LB
232* TPM2: auto-reenroll in cryptsetup, as fallback for hosed firmware upgrades
233 and such
234
235* introduce a new group to own TPM devices
80670e74 236
80670e74
LP
237* cryptsetup: if only recovery keys are registered and no regular passphrases,
238 ask user for "recovery key", not "passphrase"
239
240* cyptsetup: add option for automatically removing empty password slot on boot
241
7d7c75f1 242* cryptsetup: optionally, when run during boot-up and password is never
80670e74
LP
243 entered, and we are on battery power (or so), power off machine again
244
245* cryptsetup: when FIDO2/PKCS#11/TPM2 token/chip didn't show up after some
246 time, abort the attempt, fallback to asking for pw
247
248* cryptsetup: when waiting for FIDO2/PKCS#11 token, tell plymouth that, and
249 allow plymouth to abort the waiting and enter pw instead
7d7c75f1 250
07eabc2b
LB
251* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
252
253* cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
254 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
255
256* cryptsetup: reimplement the mkswap/mke2fs in cryptsetup-generator to use
257 systemd-makefs.service instead.
258
259* cryptsetup:
260 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
261 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
262
7d7c75f1
LP
263* when configuring loopback netif, and it fails due to EPERM, eat up error if
264 it happens to be set up alright already.
265
266* at boot: check if battery above some threshold, if not power off again after explanation
267
268* userdb: add field for ambient caps, so that a user can have CAP_WAKE_ALARM
269 for example. And add code that resets ambient caps for all services by
270 default.
271
ff640bd2
LP
272* sd-bus: when connecting to some dbus server socker, set originating AF_UNIX
273 socket name in abstract namespace to include "description" string, and pick
274 it up from there in sd_bus_creds logic. i.e. we can use the socket peer
275 address as conduit for some minimal connection metainfo, and use it to
276 restore the "description" logic that kdbus used to have.
277
08d33656 278* systemd-analyze netif that explains predictable interface (or networkctl)
d775d8e6 279
816d460a
LP
280* Add service setting to run a service within the specified VRF. i.e. do the
281 equivalent of "ip vrf exec".
282
e59d030f
LP
283* change SwitchRoot() implementation in PID 1 to use pivot_root(".", "."), as
284 documented in the pivot_root(2) man page, so that we can drop the /oldroot
285 temporary dir.
286
287* special case some calls of chase_symlinks() to use openat2() internally, so
288 that the kernel does what we otherwise do.
289
fc733bed
LP
290* make use of new glibc 2.32 APIs sigabbrev_np() and strerrorname_np().
291
42165319
LP
292* add /etc/integritytab, to support dm-integrity setups. In particular those
293 with HMAC as hash function, so that we can have a protected /home without
294 encryption (leaving encryption to the individual dirs/homed).
295
16a4a2f8
LP
296* complement root=, rootflags=, rootfstype= with rootsubdir= which allows
297 mounting a subdir of the root fs as actual root. This can be used as
298 fstype-agnostic version of btrfs' rootflags=subvol=foobar.
299
effefa30
LP
300* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
301
42ba8d25
LP
302* Remove any support for booting without /usr pre-mounted in the initrd entirely.
303 Update INITRD_INTERFACE.md accordingly.
304
f1eb0ccd
LP
305* pid1: Move to tracking of main pid/control pid of units per pidfd
306
307* pid1: support new clone3() fork-into-cgroup feature
308
8b213bf1
LB
309* pid1: support new cgroup.kill to terminate all processes in a cgroup
310
7cc8fb3e
LP
311* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
312 when it exits
313
cdfd8537
LP
314* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
315 o turn into dlopen() deps:
cdfd8537
LP
316 - elfutils (always)
317 - p11-kit-trust (always)
318 - kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
a52dc0b6 319 - libblkid (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not elsewhere)
cdfd8537
LP
320 - libpam (only when called from PID 1)
321 - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
322 since they are so basic and our defaults)
323 o move into separate libsystemd-shared-iptables.so .so
324 - iptables-libs (only used by nspawn + networkd)
325
77169ed0
LP
326* seccomp: maybe use seccomp_merge() to merge our filters per-arch if we can.
327 Apparently kernel performance is much better with fewer larger seccomp
328 filters than with more smaller seccomp filters.
329
bfafec25
LP
330* systemd-path: add ESP and XBOOTLDR path. Add "private" runtime/state/cache dir enum,
331 mapping to $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY and such
332
a6e1018d 333* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
612d3a68
LP
334 operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, systemctl,
335 coredumpctl. (Already done: systemd-nspawn, systemd-firstboot,
336 systemd-repart, systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, journalctl)
a6e1018d 337
112bed84
LP
338* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
339
340* seccomp: don't install filters for ABIs that are masked anyway for the
341 specific service
342
343* seccomp: maybe merge all filters we install into one with that libseccomp API that allows merging.
344
cbe952fe
LP
345* busctl: maybe expose a verb "ping" for pinging a dbus service to see if it
346 exists and responds.
347
b47261e5
LP
348* Maybe add a separate GPT partition type to the discoverable partition spec
349 for "hibernate" partitions, that are exactly like swap partitions but only
350 activated right before hibernation and thus never used for regular swapping.
351
e1d32d6e
LP
352* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
353 allow so that systemd survives
354
91fc013f 355* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
86b52a39 356 with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
91fc013f 357
cdfd8537
LP
358* unify on openssl (as soon as OpenSSL 3.0 is out, and the Debian license
359 confusion is gone)
492f91d8
LP
360 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
361 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
362 - port importd over from libgcrypt
492f91d8
LP
363 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
364
492f91d8
LP
365* add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
366 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
367
77b19caf
LP
368* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
369 realname substr searches in varlink API
006c44c1 370
76410e98
LP
371* userdb: allow uid/gid range checks
372
2a4be3c5 373* userdb: allow existence checks
006c44c1 374
f1eb0ccd 375* pid1: activation by journal search expression
006c44c1 376
492f91d8
LP
377* when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
378 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
379 initrd had set.
380
173c7873 381* sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
84a1ff94 382 it for reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
173c7873
LP
383 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
384 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
385 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
386 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
387
388* tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
389 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
390 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
391
173c7873
LP
392* maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
393 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
394 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
395 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
396 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
397 source.
398
97e5cc88
LP
399* coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
400 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
401 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
402
f3e361c1
LP
403* teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
404
9ef3376b
LP
405* beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
406 the hibernation
407
c846b233
LP
408* beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
409 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
410 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
411 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
412 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
413 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
414 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
415 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
416 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
417 hibernation mode. (see
418 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
419 section 10.2.2.8 and
420 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
421 at the end).
422
6fe23ff3
LB
423* We should probably replace /etc/rc.d/README with a symlink to doc
424 content. After all it is constant vendor data.
9c230b8f 425
c6526b8d 426* maybe add kernel cmdline params: to force random seed crediting

LP
428* introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
429 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
430 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
431 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
432 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
433 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
434 exec().
435
436* let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
437
5daeeecf
LP
438* when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
439 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
440
5802d977
LP
441* make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
442 gnome-bluetooth and friends
443
03ccc7f0
LP
444* make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
445 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
446 root.
447
448* maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
449 is issued.
450
db3cea22
LP
451* when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
452
453* when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
454
707b3fbd
LP
455* Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
456 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
457 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
d7b659ef 458
d238709c 459* rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
d96c081a
LP
460 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
461 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
462
8a7cf157
LP
463* when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
464
d96c081a
LP
465* add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
466 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
467
06898123 468* paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
309c6b19 469 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
9ae4ef49 470 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
8b213bf1 471 Alternatively (preferably?) use memfd_secret().
06898123 472
32875617
LP
473* Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
474
475* support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
476 patching around
477
76853293
LP
478* maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
479 log.c and sd-journal-send
480
06898123
LP
481* optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
482
d3aeddb8
LP
483* introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
484
42e18088
LP
485* sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
486 can add in file system drivers and such
487
42e18088
LP
488* sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
489 non-zero "tries done" count
490
8f2eb730
LP
491* augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
492 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
493 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
494 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
495 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
496 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
497 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
498 CODE_FILE.
499
8f2eb730
LP
500* Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
501 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
502 some explanatory text online.
503
7bd4bcf7
LP
504* maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
505
bb527e11
LP
506* When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
507 original defaults before calling parse_config()
508
c633b0a6
LP
509* hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
510 Specifically:
511
512 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
513 properly)
e83419d0 514 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
46c41478 515 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
c633b0a6 516
070d0ac9
LP
517* cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
518 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
519
e44924f5
LP
520* beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
521 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
522 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
523 files and suchlike we operate on.
070d0ac9 524
07eabc2b
LB
525* importd: add ability download images for portabled + sysext
526
8c4c2dfc
LP
527* add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
528
8c4c2dfc
LP
529* sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
530 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
531
5da19043 532* Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
5238e957 533 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
5da19043
LP
534 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
535 numbers.
536
16270697
LP
537* Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
538 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
539 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
540 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
541 unlinked from any dir.
542
bd1b3f75 543* port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
5da19043 544
7bc756ff
LP
545* pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
546
547* add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
548
53c70a27
LP
549* introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
550 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
551 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
552 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
553 should reflink the image file itself.
554
555 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
556 specific paths only like this.
557
53c70a27 558* add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
5238e957 559 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
53c70a27
LP
560 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
561 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
2aed63f4 562 images, for example fall back to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
53c70a27 563
d9b50610
LP
564* show invocation ID in systemd-run output
565
566* bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
567
9711b1ad
LP
568* add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
569 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
570
6b7b0f39
LP
571* introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
572 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
573 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
574 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
575 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
576 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
577 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
578 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
579
aa79f932
LP
580* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
581 for root, but only then.
586a8e93 582
46099c9e
LP
583* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
584
46099c9e
LP
585* calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
586 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
587
c3cd7cc9
LP
588* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
589 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
590
d0e5db44
ZJS
591* sd-bus: parse addresses given in sd_bus_set_addresses immediately and not
592 only when used. Add unit tests.
593
06345858
LP
594* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
595 host-side interface pointing to the container.
596
48f1b5e5
LP
597* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
598 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
599 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
600 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
601 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
602
cb77e122 603* taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
c6009ff0 604
899feb72 605* deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
c6009ff0 606
3d80d454
LP
607* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
608 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
609 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
610
5f7ecd61 611* support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
5962e9db 612
17b6f896
LP
613* add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
614 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
615
17b6f896
LP
616* blog about fd store and restartable services
617
618* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
619
370f9c21
LP
620* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
621 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
622
17b6f896
LP
623* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
624 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
625 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
626 ID is available.
627
628* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
629 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
630 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
631
e7e4a258
LP
632* beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
633 parameters
634
6fc373ee 635* maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
d51c4fca 636 the quota of the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
5962e9db
LP
637 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
638 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
639 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
640 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
641 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
6fc373ee 642
9a92a97a
LP
643* In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
644 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
645
fa991fb7
LP
646* expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
647 about it in the resource log message
648
d73b607d
LP
649* Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
650 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
651 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
652
fd63f36c
LP
653* add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
654 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
655
656 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
657
fe6a0235
LP
658* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
659 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
660 "convertible" form factor
661
f59d1da8
LP
662* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
663 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
664 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
665
33bac67b
LP
666* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
667 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
668
669* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
670 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
671 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
672 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
673 natural habitat.
674
8eb7383b
LP
675* gpt-auto logic: support encrypted swap, add kernel cmdline option to force it, and honour a gpt bit about it, plus maybe a configuration file
676
b5bdbcd5
LP
677* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
678 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
679 relative to the configured default value.
680
d21494ea
LP
681* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
682
04397464 683* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
d82047be 684
d82047be
LP
685* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
686
42d61ded
LP
687* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
688
04397464 689* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
42d61ded 690
04397464 691* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
563a69f4 692
04397464 693* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
2c5f2958 694
8ce9b83a 695* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
a46eac1b
LP
696
697* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
698 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
699 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
700
88511a37
LB
701* Support ReadWritePaths/ReadOnlyPaths/InaccessiblePaths in systemd --user instances
702 via the new unprivileged Landlock LSM (https://landlock.io)
703
e40a326c 704* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
89f193fa 705
8ce9b83a
LP
706* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
707 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
708 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
709 mapping to work.
710
2c5f2958
LP
711* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
712
713* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
714
715* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
716
b8c7afdf
LP
717* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
718 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
719
1e555cb5
LP
720* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
721 reload the unit file anyway
722
c8048350
LP
723* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown

3d39e6e5
LP
725* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
726
bd098bce
LP
727* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
728 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
729
f9bf1b8f 730* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
de7399eb 731 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
f9bf1b8f 732 specifications.
de7399eb 733
3efc8c72
LP
734* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something

5ebbb45b 736* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
03364e47 737
e6a26d8c
LP
738* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
739
a2088fd0 740* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
5238e957 741 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
a2088fd0
LP
742 prefixed with /sys generally special.

745* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
746
a7972611
ZJS
747* initrd-parse-etc.service: can we skip daemon-reload if /sysroot/etc/fstab is missing?
748 Note that we start initrd-fs.target and initrd-cleanup.target there, so a straightforward
749 ConditionPathExists= is not enough.

751* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date

755 state.

477e75ef
LP
758* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
759 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
760 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
761 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
762 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.

800 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
801 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.

e107ed18 817
edb2935c
LP
818* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
819
6a3f892a 820* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9 821 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 822 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 823
65026403
LP
824* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
825 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
826 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 827
f9bf1b8f 828* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
eda8f067 829
af1082b0
LP
830* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
831 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
832 for ReusePort=
833
f38afcd0 834* cgroups:
f38afcd0 835 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
f38afcd0
LP
836 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
837 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
838 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
839 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
840 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 841
f38afcd0 842* transient units:
f38afcd0 843 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
ebcf1f97 844
718db961
LP
845* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
846
718db961
LP
847* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
848
966204e0
LP
849* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
850
41644622
LP
851* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
852
7f79cd71 853* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 854
19aadacf
JE
855* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
856 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
857 path anyway.
858
04397464 859* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
fcba531e 860
bdeeb6b5
LP
861* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
862
863* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
864
07eabc2b 865* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
f38afcd0 866
07eabc2b 867* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
eb01ba5d 868
07eabc2b
LB
869* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
870
871* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
872 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
873 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
874
875* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
876 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
877
878* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
879
880* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
881
882* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
883
884* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
885 needs to be auto-respawned?
886
887* pid1:
888 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
889 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
890 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
891 that are not supported...
892 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
893 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
894 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
895 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
896 - move PAM code into its own binary
897 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
898 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
899 - Support --test based on current system state
900 - If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
901 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
902 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
903 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
904 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
905 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
906 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
907 but much rather a disconnect on success.
908 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
909 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
910 - maybe introduce CoreScheduling=yes/no to optionally set a PR_SCHED_CORE cookie, so that all
911 processes in a service's cgroup share the same cookie and are guaranteed not to share SMT cores
912 with other units https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/core-scheduling.rst
913
914* unit files:
915 - allow port=0 in .socket units
916 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
917 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
918 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
919 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
920 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
921 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
922 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
923 - introduce Type=pid-file
924 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
925 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
926 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
927
928* timer units:
929 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
930 o DST changes
931 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
932
933* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
934
935* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
936
937* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
938
939* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
940
941* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
942
943* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
461bd8e4 944
ab8e074c
LP
945* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
946
947* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
948
fff87a35 949* test/:
20d52ab6 950 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
b8b4d3dd 951
b5c03638 952* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 953 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
954 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
955 destination.
956
eece8c6f
LP
957* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
958 all units we stop before the isolating unit...

356ce991
LP
960* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
961
6daebf9e
ZJS
962* Add ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= handle non-absoute paths as a search path or add
963 ConditionConfigSearchPathNotEmpty= or different syntax? See the discussion starting at
964 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15109#issuecomment-607740136.
965
c1446921
LP
966* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
967 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
968 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
969 is installed.
795607b2 970
0be8342c
LP
971* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
972 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
973 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
974 that automatically.
975
e5ec62c5 976* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 977
ccddd104 978* remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 979
3679d112
LP
980* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
981
356ce991 982* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 983
07eabc2b
LB
984* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
985 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
986
987* add a dependency on standard-conf.xml and other included files to man pages
988
989* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
990
991* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
992
993* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
994
995* sd-bus:
996 - EBADSLT handling
997 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
998 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
999 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
1000 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
1001 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
1002 - longer term: priority inheritance
1003 - dbus spec updates:
1004 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
1005 - GVariant
1006 - path escaping
1007 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
1008
1009* sd-event
1010 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
1011 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
1012 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
1013 - maybe support iouring as backend, so that we allow hooking read and write
1014 operations instead of IO ready events into event loops. See considerations
1015 here:
1016 http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/07/rethinking-event-loop-integration-for.html
1017
1018* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
1019 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
1020
1021* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
1022
1023* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
1024
1025* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
1026
1027* firstboot: allow provisioning of /etc/hosts entries, so that we can via the
1028 credentials logic insert host name to resolve into containers/hosts. Usecase:
1029 fork a container, and make it ping some specific address which is defined by
1030 the host on invocation
1031
1032* systemd-firstboot: make sure to always use chase_symlinks() before
1033 reading/writing files
1034
1035* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
1036
1037* sd-boot: define a drop-in dir in the ESP that may contain X.509
1038 certificates. If the firmware is detected to be in setup mode, automatically
1039 enroll them as PK/KEK/db, turn off setup mode and proceed. Optionally,
1040 instead of auto-enrolling them add them to the sd-boot menu, giving the user
1041 the option to manually enroll them, after selecting the menu entry. This way,
1042 installer images can just drop the certfiicates in the ESP, and on first boot
1043 can easily enroll the keys without ever booting up.
1044
1045* efi stub: optionally, load initrd from disk as a separate file, HMAC check it
1046 with key from TPM, bound to PCR, refusing if failing. This would then allow
1047 traditional distros that generate initrds locally to secure them with TPM:
1048 after generating the initrd, do the HMAC calculation, put result in initrd
1049 filename, done. This would then bind the validity of the initrd to the local
1050 host, and used kernel, and means people cannot change initrd or kernel
1051 without booting the kernel + initrd.
1052
b44be3ec 1053* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
1054 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
1055 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 1056 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
631427d6 1057* bootctl
631427d6 1058 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
e4181484 1059
07eabc2b 1060* bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
e9fd44b7 1061
07eabc2b
LB
1062* bootctl:
1063 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
1064 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
1065 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
e6c6e7af 1066
b44be3ec
LP
1067* logind:
1068 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
b44be3ec
LP
1069 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
1070 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
1071 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
f38afcd0
LP
1072 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
1073 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
1074 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
1075 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
1076 needs setuid().
279f0366
LP
1077 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
1078 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
1079 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
1080 complete.
1081 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
1082 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
1083 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
28423d9a 1084 - expose "Locked" property on logind session objects
e25b5a8d
DH
1085 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
1086 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
1087 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
1088 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
1089 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
1090 relogins
77b19caf 1091 - (optionally?) spawn seat-manager@$SEAT.service whenever a seat shows up that as CanGraphical set
e673ad04 1092
07eabc2b
LB
1093* move logind udev rules to top-level rule.d/ directory
1094
1095* move multiseat vid/pid matches from logind udev rule to hwdb
1096
1097* logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
1098 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
1099 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
1100
1101* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
1102 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
1103
b44be3ec 1104* journal:
57f2a947 1105 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
b44be3ec
LP
1106 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
1107 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
1108 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
2aed63f4 1109 - fall back to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec 1110 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
b44be3ec
LP
1111 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
1112 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
1113 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
5238e957 1114 message that works, but already after a short timeout
b44be3ec
LP
1115 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
1116 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
f47ec8eb 1117 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
1118 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
1119 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
06847d0f 1120 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() in the header,
038cf334 1121 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
b44be3ec
LP
1122 - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
1123 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
1124 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
1125 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
1126 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
1127 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
1128 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec 1129 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 1130 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 1131 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
1132 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
1133 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
1134 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
1135 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
1136 to syslog when it works again.
279f0366
LP
1137 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
1138 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
1139 journals in.
1140 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
1141 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
1142 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
1143 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
1144 the most common operations.
e25b5a8d 1145 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
e25b5a8d
DH
1146 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
1147 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
1148 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
1149 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
1150 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
1151 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
1152 operation.
1153 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
1154 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
1155 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
1156 binary logs data
e25b5a8d 1157 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
e25b5a8d
DH
1158 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
1159 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
1160 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
1161 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
06847d0f 1162 - check if loop in decompress_blob_xz() is necessary
b44be3ec 1163
07eabc2b
LB
1164* journald: support RFC3164 fully for the incoming syslog transport, see
1165 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/19251#issuecomment-816601955
1166
1167* Hook up journald's FSS logic with TPM2: seal the verification disk by
1168 time-based policy, so that the verification key can remain on host and ve
1169 validated via TPM.
1170
1171* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
1172 pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
1173
1174* journald: do journal file writing out-of-process, with one writer process per
1175 client UID, so that synthetic hash table collisions can slow down a specific
1176 user's journal stream down but not the others.
1177
1178* tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
1179 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
1180 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
1181 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
1182 cgroup.
1183
1184* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
1185 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
1186 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
1187 logging.
1188
1189* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
1190
1191* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
1192 from the SIGBUS handler
1193
590171d1
ZJS
1194* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
1195 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
1196 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
1197 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)

07eabc2b
LB
1199* homed:
1200 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
1201 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
1202 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
1203 - resize on login?
1204 - shrink fs on logout?
1205 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
1206 - create on activate?
1207 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
1208 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
1209 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
1210 systemd --user is shut down.
1211 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
1212 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk
1213 images (and btrfs snapshots of subvolumes) (think: time machine)
1214 - distinguish destroy / remove (i.e. currently we can unregister a user, unregister+remove their home directory, but not just remove their home directory)
1215 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
1216 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
1217 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
1218 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
1219 - query password from kernel keyring first
1220 - update even if record is "absent"
1221 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
1222 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
1223 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
1224 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
1225 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
1226 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
1227 - introduce API for "making room", that grows/shrinks home directory
1228 according to elastic parameters, discards blocks, and removes additional snapshots. Call it
1229 either from UI when disk space gets low
a11e7c0b
LB
1230 - when homed is in use, maybe start the user session manager in a mount namespace with MS_SLAVE,
1231 so that mounts propagate down but not up - eg, user A setting up a backup volume
1232 doesn't mean user B sees it
9c53de8b
LP
1233 - use credentials logic/TPM2 logic to store homed signing key
1234 - during login resize fs automatically towards size goal. Specifically,
1235 resize to diskSize if possible, but leave a certain amount (configured by a
1236 new value diskLeaveFreeSize) of space free on the backing fs.
1237 - permit multiple user record signing keys to be used locally, and pick
1238 the right one for signing records automatically depending on a pre-existing
1239 signature
1240 - add a way to "adopt" a home directory, i.e. strip foreign signatures
1241 and insert a local signature instead.
1242 - as an extension to the directory+subvolume backend: if located on
1243 especially marked fs, then sync down password into LUKS header of that fs,
1244 and always verify passwords against it too. Bootstrapping is a problem
1245 though: if no one is logged in (or no other user even exists yet), how do you
1246 unlock the volume in order to create the first user and add the first pw.
1247 - support new FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl for setting up fscrypt
1248 - maybe pre-create ~/.cache as subvol so that it can have separate quota
1249 easily?
1250 - if kernel 5.12 uid mapping mounts exist, use that instead of recursive
1251 chowns.
1252 - add a switch to homectl (maybe called --first-boot) where it will check if
1253 any non-system users exist, and if not prompts interactively for basic user
1254 info, mimicking systemd-firstboot. Then, place this in a service that runs
1255 after systemd-homed, but before gdm and friends, as a simple, barebones
1256 fallback logic to get a regular user created on uninitialized systems.
1257 - store PKCS#11 + FIDO2 token info in LUKS2 header, compatible with
1258 systemd-cryptsetup, so that it can unlock homed volumes
07eabc2b 1259
07eabc2b
LB
1260* add a new switch --auto-definitions=yes/no or so to systemd-repart. If
1261 specified, synthesize a definition automatically if we can: enlarge last
1262 partition on disk, but only if it is marked for growing and not read-only.
1263
1264* systemd-repart: read LUKS encryption key from $CREDENTIALS_PATH
1265
1266* systemd-repart: add a switch to factory reset the partition table without
1267 immediately applying the new configuration again. i.e. --factory-reset=leave
1268 or so. (this is useful to factory reset an image, then putting it into
1269 another machine, ensuring that luks key is generated on new machine, not old)
1270
1271* systemd-repart: support setting up dm-integrity with HMAC
1272
1273* systemd-repart: maybe remove half-initialized image on failure. It fails
1274 if the output file exists, so a repeated invocation will usually fail if
1275 something goes wrong on the way.
1276
1277* systemd-repart: drop pager mode on normal operation?
1278
1279* systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
1280 that only cover the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
1281 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
1282 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
1283
1284* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
1285 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
1286 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
1287 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
1288 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
1289 automatically.
1290
1291* systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
1292 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
1293
1294* systemd-repart: allow boolean option that ensures that if existing partition
1295 doesn't exist within the configured size bounds the whole command fails. This
1296 is useful to implement ESP vs. XBOOTLDR schemes in installers: have one set
1297 of repart files for the case where ESP is large enough and one where it isn't
1298 and XBOOTLDR is added in instead. Then apply the former first, and if it
1299 fails to apply use the latter.
1300
1301* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to never reuse existing partition
1302 and always create anew even if matching partition already exists.
1303
1304* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to fail if partition already exist,
1305 i.e. is not added new. Similar, add option to fail if partition does not exist yet.
1306
1307* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
1308 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
1309
1310* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
1311 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
1312
b44be3ec 1313* document:
8b8f2591 1314 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
1315 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
1316 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 1317 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
f38afcd0
LP
1318 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
1319 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
1320 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
1321 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
5cf821ac
ZJS
1322 - man: add more examples to man pages,
1323 - in particular an example how to do the equivalent of switching runlevels
f38afcd0 1324 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
17ec531f 1325 - document root=gpt-auto properly
b44be3ec
LP
1326
1327* systemctl:
b44be3ec
LP
1328 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
1329 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
1330 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
1331 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
1332 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
1333 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
1334 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 1335 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec 1336 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
61233823 1337 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0 1338
07eabc2b
LB
1339* introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
1340 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
1341 it should skip the variant type string though.
8b04b925 1342
07eabc2b
LB
1343* add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
1344 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
1345 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
1346 output for them.
d2e83c23 1347
07eabc2b
LB
1348* Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
1349 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
1350 the slices, and the units attached to them.
a19554ed 1351
07eabc2b
LB
1352* add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
1353 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
1354 wait to retrieve their exit data.
a7a3f28b 1355
07eabc2b
LB
1356* show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
1357 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
08f95888 1358
07eabc2b
LB
1359* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
1360 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
1361 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
1362 do, for example)
dcfc4b2e 1363
07eabc2b
LB
1364* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
1365 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
1366 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
1367 returning from the "systemctl stop".
71ef24d0 1368
07eabc2b
LB
1369* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
1370
1371* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
1372
1373* unit install:
1374 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
1375 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
1b89884b 1376
b44be3ec 1377* nspawn:
e25b5a8d
DH
1378 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1379 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
1380 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1381 from the kernel's logs.
1382 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
1383 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
1384 interface be missing
e25b5a8d
DH
1385 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
1386 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
1387 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
1388 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
1389 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
1390 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
1391 PID 1...
e25b5a8d
DH
1392 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
1393 running, remove them when shut down.
e25b5a8d 1394
07eabc2b
LB
1395* nspawn: make --bind= work sanely with --private-users when uid mapping mounts
1396 are used.
1397
1398* nspawn: add support for sysext extensions, too. i.e. a new --extension=
1399 switch that takes one or more arguments, and applies the extensions already
1400 during startup.
1401
1402* when main nspawn supervisor process gets suspended due to SIGSTOP/SIGTTOU or
1403 so, freeze the payload too.
1404
1405* machined: add API to acquire UID range. add API to mount/dissect loopback
1406 file. Both protected by PK. Then make nspawn use these APIs to run
1407 unprivileged containers. i.e. push the truly privileged bits into machined,
1408 so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
1409 anything like that.
1410
1411* nspawn: support time namespaces
1412
1413* nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
1414 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
1415
1416* nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
1417 fallback in "machinectl shell"
1418
1419* nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
1420 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
1421 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
1422
1423* nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
1424
1425* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
1426
e25b5a8d 1427* machined:
e25b5a8d
DH
1428 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
1429 removed or added to an existing machine
1430 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
1431 difference host, via ssh
e25b5a8d
DH
1432 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
1433 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
1434 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
1435 question
e25b5a8d
DH
1436 - "machinectl history"
1437 - "machinectl diff"
1438 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
1439 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
1440
abd55b16 1441* udev:
abd55b16 1442 - move to LGPL
abd55b16
KS
1443 - kill scsi_id
1444 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
e8d842a0 1445 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
b8217b7b 1446
e25b5a8d
DH
1447* coredump:
1448 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
73a99163 1449 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
87a8baa3
LP
1450
1451* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
1452
f38afcd0 1453* tmpfiles:
f38afcd0 1454 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
614cc34f 1455 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
e25b5a8d
DH
1456 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1457 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1458 calls follow symlinks.
36f57e02 1459 - add --test mode
ba405b22
ZJS
1460 - teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
1461 project quota
1258097c 1462
af6f0d42
TG
1463* udev-link-config:
1464 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1465 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1466 on Path= matching
af6f0d42 1467
88e4d1d7 1468* sd-rtnl:
88e4d1d7 1469 - add support for more attribute types
c589a0e6 1470 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
88e4d1d7 1471
0a4b9a07 1472* networkd:
c74ecd71
TG
1473 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1474 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
e8d842a0 1475 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
798e174a 1476 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
a8eaaee7 1477 - work with non-Ethernet devices
e25b5a8d 1478 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
e25b5a8d
DH
1479 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1480 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1481 - expose in the API the following bits:
e2da6491 1482 - option 15, domain name
38b38500 1483 - option 12, hostname and/or option 81, fqdn
e25b5a8d
DH
1484 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1485 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1486 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1487 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1488 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1489 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
e25b5a8d 1490 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
155e8b9a 1491
07eabc2b
LB
1492* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
1493
d5e172d2
ZJS
1494* Figure out how to do unittests of networkd's state serialization
1495
ac976532 1496* dhcp:
424a8732 1497 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
ac976532 1498
37d8b536
PF
1499* dhcp6:
1500 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
1501 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
1502 - write more test cases
37d8b536 1503 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
37d8b536 1504 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
37d8b536
PF
1505 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1506 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1507 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1508 or interface down
1509 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1510 this behavior
