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

28 | - kmod_module_version_get_symbol() |
| 29 | - kmod_module_version_get_crc() | |
| 30 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol() | |
| 31 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc() | |
| 32 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol() | |
| 33 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc() | |
| 34 | - kmod_module_versions_free_list() | |
| 35 | - kmod_module_symbols_free_list() | |
| 8836ff24 | 36 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list() |
| 674f8590 | 37 | |

38 | * libkmod API breaking changes: |
| 39 | - dedicated error value for all kmod_*_get_crc() functions. Currently there | |
| 40 | is no way for callers to distinguish between a valid CRC=0 and the error | |
| 41 | code 0. | |
| 42 | ||
| 80e54cb6 LDM |
43 | * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one |
| 44 | with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it. | |
| 895aa134 LDM |
45 | Another possibility is to drop the mmap implementation relying on VFS to have |
| 46 | the pages cached. This would simplify the interface exported by libkmod. | |
| 47 | Measure performance before deciding. | |
| 5e690c5c | 48 | |
| 709a465d LDM |
49 | * depmod: |
| 50 | - join functions for text/binary outputs | |
| 51 | - use new O_TMPFILE for tmp file creation | |
| 8447b865 | 52 | |
| 3af535c9 | 53 | Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed): |
| 5e690c5c LDM |
54 | =================================================================== |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | * list of currently loaded modules | |
| 80e54cb6 LDM |
57 | - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the |
| 58 | module is builtin. | |
| 5e690c5c | 59 | |
| 5e690c5c | 60 | * kill /proc/modules ? |
| 758428a7 | 61 | - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it |
