21 | script |
22 | ------ | |
23 | - (!) add terminal type ($TERM), columns and lines to the header line, something like: | |
24 | ||
25 | Script started on 2018-03-05 13:02:08+0100 [term="xterm-256color", lines=53, columns=190] | |

27 | see https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/583 | |
28 | ||
29 | - think about optional "event" records in timing file to save information | |
30 | about non-data changes like signals (SIGWINCH, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT, etc.) | |
31 | in format: | |
32 | ||
33 | <time> 0 <name>[: var=data, ...] | |
34 | ||
35 | for example: | |
36 | ||
37 | 0.001296 256 | |
38 | 0.001297 0 SIGWINCH: columns=50, lines=20 | |

43 | The problem is NVMe-multipath driver where in /sys/.../slaves/ are nodes | |
44 | that should be probably hidden for userspace. Note that kernel developers | |
45 | promised to fix this issue in kernel *** so hold off from that for now*** | |
46 | [Mar 1, 2018]. | |
47 | ||
48 | Anyway, possible userspace solution is: | |
49 | ||
50 | - verify that slave/holder nodes points to the real block devices | |
51 | (/sys/dev/block/<maj:min> for the node exists), otherwise silently ignore | |
52 | the slave/holder node -- see set_cxt(). | |
53 | ||
54 | - the same verification we necessary for nodes in /sys/block/<name>. It means | |
55 | verify result from sysfs_devname_to_devno() in set_cxt(). | |

7aa670f6 | 59 | cleanup lib/path.c: [Karel Zak for v2.33] |
52ac7065 | 60 | ------------------ |
00dbc498 KZ |
61 | - always return rc from all functions |
62 | - introduce control struct and use openat() from top-level path | |
63 | (e.g. top-level is /proc, etc) | |
7aa670f6 | 64 | - use lib/path.c as low-level API for lib/sysfs.c |
00dbc498 KZ |
65 | - now we duplicate code in functions like {path,sysfs}_read_u32, etc. |
66 | - it would be also nice to have a way how to redirect sysfs.c functions | |
67 | to /sys snapshots (e.g. lsblk regression tests) | |
68 | ||
3421709a KZ |
69 | |
70 | lscpu | |
71 | ----- | |
72 | - read cpuid and uname information from file if --sysroot is specified, then | |
73 | we can prepare regression tests completely independent on hw and architecture. | |
74 | ||
5b7be990 KZ |
75 | lsblk |
76 | ----- | |
77 | - currently it does not show mountpoint for all devices in btrfs RAID. It's because | |
78 | /proc/#/mountinfo contains reference to the one device only. Maybe we can add some | |
79 | btrfs specific code to provide a better output for FS based stacks. Not sure. | |

87 | hwlock |
88 | ------ | |
89 | - use /var/lib/hwclock/drift to store hw-clock drift numbers. | |
90 | - use /etc/adjtime as read-only for UTC/LOCAL information only | |
91 | - the /var/lib/hwclock/drift should be implemented backwardly compatible, | |
92 | it means use the file only if exists, otherwise follow /etc/adjtime | |

94 | bash completion |
95 | --------------- | |
20a51056 | 96 | - Optional argument handling requires user to press backspace to get |
58c41e15 | 97 | argument completion. |
20a51056 SK |
98 | - Comma separated value, e.g., --output 'value1,value2', are not |
99 | completed for users. | |

101 | libmount (mount/umount) |
102 | ----------------------- | |
01df6eeb | 103 | |
7c79c341 KZ |
104 | - remount all filesystems given their type, for example: |
105 | mount -a -t tmpfs -o remount | |
106 | It should be probably enough to add remount_all() to mount(8) in way we | |
107 | already have mount_all(). https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/589 | |
108 | ||
25629819 KZ |
109 | - add --onlyonce to force mount(8) to check if mountpoint is already used. Now |
110 | "already mounted" detection is used for --all only. The problem is if you | |
111 | call "mount <mountpoint>" more than once for in fstab defined tmpfs (or network | |
112 | filesystem etc.). In this case kernel does not return EBUSY, but a new instance | |
113 | of the FS is created. https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/448 | |
7c79c341 | 114 | (... just idea, maybe wrong idea) |
25629819 | 115 | |
3f30dedd KZ |
116 | - support CAP_SYS_ADMIN; for mount(2) syscall the CAP_SYS_ADMIN is good |
117 | enough. Unfortunately, mount(8) does more things like check for filesystem | |
118 | type (but it's usually done by udev, so root perms are unnecessary), create | |
119 | loop devices, write to /run/mount/utab or /etc/mtab, etc. | |
120 | ||
121 | It would be nice to improve libmount to check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN if suid not | |
122 | set and allow to use it for simple tasks where no another operation is | |
123 | necessary. | |
124 | ||
f19c6328 KZ |
125 | - allow to execute mount(2) in another namespace, something like: |
126 | mount --namespace=/proc/$n/ns/mnt /dev/sda2 /bar | |
127 | see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199554 for more details. | |
128 | ||
1340d433 KZ |
129 | - add options to control fstab/mtab mount options usage, something like: |
130 | ||
131 | --options-mode={ignore,append,prepend,replace} MNT_OMODE_{IGNORE, ...} | |
132 | --options-source={fstab,mtab,disable} MNT_OMODE_{FSTAB,MTAB,NOTAB} | |
133 | --options-source-force MNT_OMODE_FORCE | |
134 | ||
135 | (all this already supported by libmount) | |

141 | - support mapping by device-mapper if argv[0] is "kpartx" or --dm option is used. |

145 | ---- | |
146 | ||
147 | - (!) use something better than gtk-doc for libmount and libblkid (doxyden?) | |
148 | ||
149 | - (!) add API documentation to libuuid | |
28297408 | 150 | |

151 | exit codes |
152 | ---------- | |
153 | ||
154 | - we need coreutils-like exit codes for failed exec(). See: | |
155 | https://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg12776.html | |
156 | and original attempt: | |

159 | login-utils: |
160 | ----------- | |
161 | ||
b75b23b4 KZ |
162 | - consolidate newgrp(1) |
163 | * we have "su --group/--supp-group" to switch between groups, newgrp(1) in | |
164 | util-linux and shadow-utils (and sg(1) alias in shadow-utils) | |
165 | * the unique functionality provided by newgpr(1) is support for group | |
166 | passwords [/etc/gshadow] -- do we really need this functionality? | |
167 | * maybe we can mark group-passwords as deprecated, and replace sg(1) and | |
73afd3f8 | 168 | newgpr(1) with su(1) code. The another way is to ask for group password in |
b75b23b4 KZ |
169 | su --group too. |
170 | * note that shadow-utils newgpr(1) provides support for syslog and audit log. | |

c9f51c71 KZ |
176 | - (!) don't use internally blkid_loff_t, rather use off_t, size_t, ssize_t, |
177 | stdint.h types and so on... | |
178 | ||
28fed5d6 | 179 | - add FSSIZE value -- filesystem size (klibc requirement) |

b1883029 | 200 | - add SELinux security contexts support to the 'ipcs' utility |
8da18ddb KZ |
201 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342 |
202 | ||
203 | Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective | |
204 | security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the | |
205 | way other tools reports those. | |
