c904f64d
LP
4* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
f957632b
KS
6* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
9a366075
LP
10* make polkit checks async
11
a40593a0 12* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

2d19f95c 14Fedora 19:
3679d112 15
a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
55d32caf
LP
27* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
28
eb124a97 29Features:

6c12b52e
LP
31* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
32
11ddb6f4
LP
33* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
34
241da328
LP
35* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
36
7041efe9
LP
37* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
38
d28e9236
LP
39* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swapiness
40
7041efe9
LP
41* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
42
b42defe3
LP
43* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
44
c2756a68
LP
45* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
46
47* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
8e2af478
LP
48
49* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
50
4ad49000
LP
51* split out CreateMachine into systemd-machined
52
d28e9236
LP
53* make logind's session and machine
54 registration use Slices to set up cgroups
4ad49000
LP
55
56* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 57
9444b1f2
LP
58* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
59
60* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
61 validity of session name before appending it to a path
62
63* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
64 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
65
66* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
67 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
68 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
69
a016b922
LP
70* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
71 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
72
a016b922
LP
73* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
74 the hierarchies of child processes
75
1f263d4d
LP
76* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
77
9444b1f2 78* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
79
80* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
81
4e09014d
LP
82* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
83
84* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
85
86* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
87 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
88 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
89 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
90
91* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
92 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
93
d5a2b9a6
LP
94* libsystemd-journal:
95 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
96
eb01ba5d
LP
97* libsystemd-bus:
98 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
99 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 100 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
101 - implement translator service
102 - port systemd to new library
103 - implement busname unit type in systemd
104 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 105 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 106 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 107 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
108 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
109 - implement monitor logic
110 - object vtable logic
111 - longer term:
112 * priority queues
86312ab8 113 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 114
154ff088
LP
115* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
116 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
117 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
118
7e853a9b
LP
119* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
120 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
121 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
122 kernel.
123
d686f034
LP
124* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
125 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
126
19aa7c4f
LP
127* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
128
aa96c6cb 129* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 130
461bd8e4
LP
131* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
132 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
133
ab8e074c
LP
134* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
135 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
136 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
137 needs setuid().
138
139* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
140
141* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
142
b454b112
LP
143* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
144
145* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
146
4a449ed7 147* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 148
4a449ed7
LP
149* we need dynamic units
150
4ff49cb6
LP
151* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
152
fff87a35
ZJS
153* test/:
154 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
155 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
156 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
157
158* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
159
160* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
161
3df82d5a
LP
162* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
163 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
164 file.
165
5666ea6f
KS
166* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
167 kmod static-nodes
168 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 169
b5c03638
LP
170* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
171 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
172 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
173 destination.
174
752beb0c
LP
175* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
176
eece8c6f
LP
177* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
178 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
179
d325d9bc
KS
180* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
181 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
182 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 183
356ce991
LP
184* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
185
186* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
187
bfa00bc6
LP
188* we should log capabilities too
189
3b953d68
JT
190* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
191 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
192 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
193 old.
194
09f727ee
LP
195* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
196 need manual exponential loops after all
197
795607b2
LP
198* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
199 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
200 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
201 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
202
795607b2
LP
203* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
204
0be8342c
LP
205* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
206 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
207 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
208 that automatically.
209
487060c2
LP
210* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
211
e5ec62c5 212* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 213
826872b6
LP
214* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
215
54c31a79 216* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 217
8973790e 218* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
219
220* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
221
222* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
223
224* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
225
226* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
227
228* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
229
3679d112
LP
230* man: add more examples to man pages
231
232* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
233
3679d112
LP
234* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
235
236* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
237
238* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
239 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
240 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
241 individually.
242
cbb77121
LP
243* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
244
d01a73b6
LP
245* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
246
990ffbe5 247* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
248 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
249
250* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
251 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
252 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
253 will be activated.
254
356ce991 255* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 256
81d112a8 257* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 258
b44be3ec
LP
259* EFI:
260 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
261 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
262 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
263 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
264 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 265
c0fe5db5 266* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 267
b44be3ec 268* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 269
b44be3ec
LP
270* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
271 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 272
b44be3ec 273* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 274
b44be3ec 275* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 276
b44be3ec
LP
277* logind:
278 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
279 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
280 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
281 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
282 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
283 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
284 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
285 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 286 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 287 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 288 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 289
b44be3ec 290* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 291
b44be3ec 292* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 293
b44be3ec 294* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 295
b44be3ec 296* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
297 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
298 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
299 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 300 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
301 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
302 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
303 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
304 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
305 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
306 - journal: reuse XZ context
307 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
308 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
309 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
310 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
311 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
312 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
313 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 314 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
315 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
316 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
317 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 318 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
319 - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
320 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
321 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
322 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
323 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 324 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
325 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
326 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
327 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
328 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
329 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
330 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
331 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
332 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
333 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
334
335* document:
336 - document unit_name_mangle()
337 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
338 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
339 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
340 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
341 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
342 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 343 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 344 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
345
346* systemctl:
347 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
348 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
349 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
350 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
351 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
352 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
353 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
354 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
355 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
356 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
357 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
358 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
359 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 360
e673ad04
LP
361* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
362
b44be3ec
LP
363* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
364
365* timer units:
366 - configurable jitter for timer events
367 - timer events with system resume
368 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
369 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
370 o DST changes
eb124a97 371 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
372
373* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
374
375* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
376 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
377 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 378 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 379 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 380 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 381
6c1703cc
KS
382* hwdb:
383 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
384 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 385
59704f3e
LP
386* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
387 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
388 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 389
e707c494
LP
390* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
391 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
392 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
393 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
394 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
395 better supported alternative.
