KS
2* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
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.
20ffc4c4 13
26306aed
KS
14* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
15 the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
16 as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
17 that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
18 env variable:
19 $ cat /proc/252/environ

21
466784c8 22Fedora 20:
3679d112 23
dc7adf20 24* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
7b4da18c 25
81d112a8 26* localed:
81d112a8
LP
27 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
28
55d32caf 29* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

32CGroup Rework Completion:
33
bafb15ba
LP
34* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
35
36* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37
38* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
39
40* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
41
42* logind: implement session kill exceptions
43
bafb15ba
LP
44* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
45
049b4474 46* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 47
431c72dc 48* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
bafb15ba 49
248aa28f
LP
50* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
51
eb124a97 52Features:
154ff088 53
408f281b
LP
54* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
55
e1b7e7ec
LP
56* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
57 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
58
6aaa8c2f 59* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 60
e7256c5c
LP
61* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
62
042e33ae
LP
63* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
64
e1b7e7ec 65* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 66
36c0868b
LP
67* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
68
fa7deadb
LP
69* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
70
c5757cc8 71* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 72 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
73 unit however should remove them all).
74
75* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
76
69af4503 77* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
d907c208 78
d907c208
LP
79* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
80
049b4474
LP
81* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
82
bdeeb6b5
LP
83* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
84 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
85 to syslog when it works again.
86
87* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
88
89* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
90
91* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
92
174da5c5
LP
93* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
94
fb6becb4
LP
95* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
96
fb6becb4
LP
97* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
98
6c12b52e
LP
99* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
100
11ddb6f4
LP
101* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
102
7041efe9
LP
103* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
104
b42defe3
LP
105* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
106
4ad49000 107* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 108
9444b1f2
LP
109* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
110 validity of session name before appending it to a path
111
9444b1f2 112* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 113 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 114 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
115 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
116 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 117
a016b922
LP
118* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
119 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
120
a016b922
LP
121* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
122 the hierarchies of child processes
123
1f263d4d
LP
124* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
125
9444b1f2 126* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
127
128* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
129
4e09014d
LP
130* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
131
132* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
133
a65f06bb 134* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
135 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
136 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
137 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
138
139* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
140 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
141
eb01ba5d
LP
142* libsystemd-bus:
143 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
144 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 145 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
146 - implement translator service
147 - port systemd to new library
148 - implement busname unit type in systemd
149 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 150 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 151 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 152 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
153 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
154 - implement monitor logic
155 - object vtable logic
156 - longer term:
157 * priority queues
86312ab8 158 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 159
154ff088
LP
160* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
161 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
162 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
163
7e853a9b
LP
164* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
165 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
166 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
167 kernel.
168
d686f034
LP
169* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
170 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
171
69af4503 172* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 173
69af4503 174* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 175
461bd8e4
LP
176* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
177 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
178
ab8e074c
LP
179* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
180 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
181 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
182 needs setuid().
183
184* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
185
186* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
187
b454b112
LP
188* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
189
190* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
191
4a449ed7 192* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 193
4a449ed7
LP
194* we need dynamic units
195
4ff49cb6
LP
196* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
197
fff87a35
ZJS
198* test/:
199 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
200 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
201 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 202
b8b4d3dd
LP
203* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
204
3df82d5a
LP
205* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
206 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
207 file.
208
b5c03638
LP
209* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
210 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
211 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
212 destination.
213
752beb0c
LP
214* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
215
eece8c6f
LP
216* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
217 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
218
356ce991
LP
219* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
220
221* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
222
3b953d68
JT
223* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
224 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
225 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
226 old.
227
09f727ee
LP
228* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
229 need manual exponential loops after all
230
795607b2
LP
231* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
232 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
233 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
234 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
235
795607b2
LP
236* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
237
0be8342c
LP
238* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
239 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
240 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
241 that automatically.
242
69af4503 243* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 244
e5ec62c5 245* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 246
826872b6
LP
247* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
248
54c31a79 249* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 250
8973790e 251* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 252
69af4503 253* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
254
255* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
256
257* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
258
69af4503 259* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
260
261* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
262
3679d112
LP
263* man: add more examples to man pages
264
265* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
266
3679d112
LP
267* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
268
269* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
270
271* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
272 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
273 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
274 individually.
275
cbb77121
LP
276* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
277
d01a73b6
LP
278* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
279
990ffbe5 280* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
281 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
282
283* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
284 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
285 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
286 will be activated.
287
356ce991 288* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 289
81d112a8 290* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 291
b44be3ec
LP
292* EFI:
293 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
294 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
295 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
296 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 297 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 298
c0fe5db5 299* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 300
b44be3ec 301* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 302
b44be3ec
LP
303* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
304 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 305
b44be3ec 306* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 307
b44be3ec 308* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 309
b44be3ec
LP
310* logind:
311 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
312 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
313 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
314 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
315 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
316 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
317 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
318 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 319 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 320 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 321 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 322
b44be3ec 323* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 324
b44be3ec 325* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 326
b44be3ec 327* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 328
b44be3ec 329* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
330 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
331 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
332 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 333 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
334 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
335 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
336 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
337 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
338 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
339 - journal: reuse XZ context
340 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
341 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
342 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
343 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
344 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
345 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
346 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 347 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
348 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
349 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
350 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 351 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
352 - 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.
353 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
354 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 355 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 356 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
357 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
358 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
359 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
360 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 361 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
362 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
363 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
364 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
365 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
366
367* document:
368 - document unit_name_mangle()
369 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
370 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
371 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
372 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
373 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
374 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 375 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 376 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
377
378* systemctl:
379 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
380 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
381 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
382 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
383 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
384 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
385 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
386 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
387 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
388 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
389 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
390 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template

397* timer units:
398 - configurable jitter for timer events
399 - timer events with system resume
400 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
401 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
402 o DST changes

d2e83c23 410 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 411 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 412 user did not request anything like it.

418* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
419 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
420 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that

515 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
516 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 517 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
