TODO

   1 Features:
   2 =========
   3
   4 * Improve module-playground to contain the actual code from modules in the
   5   testsuite
   6
   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
  13 * Protect index against OOM
  14
  15 * Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc
  16
  17 * testsuite:
  18    - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
  19    - improve coverage (use --enable-coverage to check the current state)
  20
  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
  27 * config: implement the config handling in shared/ and use it in both depmod
  28 and libkmod
  29
  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()
  39    - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list()
  40
  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.
  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.
  46
  47
  48 Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
  49 ===================================================================
  50
  51 * list of currently loaded modules
  52         - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the
  53           module is builtin.
  54
  55 * kill /proc/modules ?
  56         - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it
