| bf89f76e | 1 | Features: |
| 5e690c5c | 2 | ========= |
| bf89f76e | 3 | |
| 45f38e8c LDM |
4 | * Improve module-playground to contain the actual code from modules in the |
| 5 | testsuite | |
| 6 | ||
| e975fd31 LDM |
7 | * Add command for signing modules |
| 8 | - There is a script to sign modules in kernel tree, but we should be able to | |
| 9 | sign modules by ourselves | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | * Stop using NOFAIL() and fatal() | |
| 12 | ||
| 681bf89a LDM |
13 | * Protect index against OOM |
| 14 | ||
| 46939ec7 LDM |
15 | * Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc |
| 16 | ||
| 80e54cb6 | 17 | * testsuite: |
| 80e54cb6 | 18 | - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module |
| 895aa134 | 19 | - improve coverage (use --enable-coverage to check the current state) |
| c8c956b1 | 20 | |
| 46939ec7 LDM |
21 | * Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a | |
| 24 | vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling | |
| 25 | bsearch(). | |
| 26 | ||
| 895aa134 LDM |
27 | * config: implement the config handling in shared/ and use it in both depmod |
| 28 | and libkmod | |
| 29 | ||
| c8c956b1 | 30 | * review API, maybe unify all of these getters: |

31 | - kmod_module_version_get_symbol() |
| 32 | - kmod_module_version_get_crc() | |
| 33 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol() | |
| 34 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc() | |
| 35 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol() | |
| 36 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc() | |
| 37 | - kmod_module_versions_free_list() | |
| 38 | - kmod_module_symbols_free_list() | |
| 8836ff24 | 39 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list() |

| 80e54cb6 LDM |
41 | * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one |
| 42 | with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it. | |
| 895aa134 LDM |
43 | Another possibility is to drop the mmap implementation relying on VFS to have |
| 44 | the pages cached. This would simplify the interface exported by libkmod. | |
| 45 | Measure performance before deciding. | |
| 5e690c5c | 46 | |
| 709a465d LDM |
47 | * depmod: |
| 48 | - join functions for text/binary outputs | |
| 49 | - use new O_TMPFILE for tmp file creation | |
| 8447b865 | 50 | |
| 3af535c9 | 51 | Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed): |
| 5e690c5c LDM |
52 | =================================================================== |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | * list of currently loaded modules | |
| 80e54cb6 LDM |
55 | - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the |
| 56 | module is builtin. | |
| 5e690c5c | 57 | |
| 5e690c5c | 58 | * kill /proc/modules ? |
| 758428a7 | 59 | - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it |
