TODO: add new tasks and notes to future development
[thirdparty/kmod.git] / TODO
1 Features:
2 =========
3
4 * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
5 vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
6 bsearch().
7
8 * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
9 with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
10
11 * create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
12 so we're able to create unit tests
13
14 * provide ELF manipulation to implement modinfo
15
16 * Add lookup for install commands in kmod_module_new_from_lookup()
17
18 * Add lookup for remove commands
19
20 * Add functions to dump configuration
21
22 * Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep
23
24 * Implement soft dependencies
25
26 * provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe
27 - show modversions (needs elf manipulation)
28 - dump configuration
29 - use softdep
30 - install and remove commands may exist when there's no module with that
31 name. Properly handle this case
32
33 * gzip support for modprobe
34
35 Known Bugs:
36 ===========
37
38 * modprobe -R should not try to load module
39
40 Notes for future development:
41 =============================
42
43 * Kill support for /etc/modprobe.conf
44
45 * Kill support for map files
46
47 Things to be added removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
48 ===================================================================
49
50 * list of currently loaded modules
51
52 * module's size should be available under /sys
53
54 * kill /proc/modules ?
