ee9c9500 1Bugfixes:
19aadacf 2* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
cff452c7
KS
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
6
f957632b
KS
7* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10
a40593a0 11* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 12
19aadacf 13* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
ea92ae33
MW
14 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
15
04ac7992
ZJS
16* shorten the message to sane length:
17
18 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19
d8160f21
ZJS
20* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21
f38afcd0 22External:
7b4da18c 23
f38afcd0 24* ps should gain colums for slice
81d112a8 25
f38afcd0 26* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
466784c8 27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
55d32caf 28
f38afcd0 29* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 30
f38afcd0 31* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
bafb15ba 32
eb124a97 33Features:
154ff088 34
3333d748 35* machinectl bash completion is missing
708c143c 36* busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
3333d748 37
e79e8afd
LP
38* Introduce PrivateDevices=yes/no which works like PrivateTmp= but for /dev setting up a tmpfs for it that only includes /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, but nothing else.
39
b6741478
LP
40* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
41
f38afcd0
LP
42* cgroups:
43 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
44 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
45 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
47 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
48 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
49 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
50 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 51
f38afcd0
LP
52* transient units:
53 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
54 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
55 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 56
08cd1552 57* code cleanup
08cd1552 58 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
2e41a51e 59
718db961
LP
60* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
61
62* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
63
f38afcd0 64* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
65
66* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
67
966204e0
LP
68* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
69
94676f3e 70* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 71
ced4d067
LP
72* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
73
f38afcd0 74* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
41644622 75
41644622
LP
76* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
77
9db76355
LP
78* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
79
baa89da4
LP
80* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
81
7f79cd71 82* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 83
19aadacf
JE
84* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
85 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
86 path anyway.
87
19aadacf 88* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
982e44db
LP
89 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
90 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
91
fcba531e
LP
92* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
93
8b8f2591
ZJS
94* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
95 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
e10e429f 96 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
e1b7e7ec 97
6aaa8c2f 98* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 99
e1b7e7ec 100* 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 101
bdeeb6b5
LP
102* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
103
104* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
105
9444b1f2 106* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 107 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 108 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
109 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
110 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 111
19aadacf 112* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
1f263d4d 113
4e09014d
LP
114* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
115 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
116
eb01ba5d 117* libsystemd-bus:
eb01ba5d 118 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
86312ab8 119 - implement monitor logic
f38afcd0 120 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0
LP
121 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
122 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
bee7e928
LP
123 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
124 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
80caea6c 125 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
0a825b5c
LP
126 - longer term:
127 * priority queues
128 * priority inheritance
452de75e 129 - check sender of response messages
df98a87b
LP
130 - dbus spec updates:
131 - kdbus mapping
132 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
133 - GVariant
bee7e928 134 - "const" properties (posted)
00586799
LP
135 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
136 - make use of "drop" ioctl in pid 1 bus activation
e62b3b35
LP
137 - bus proxy: override unique id sender for messages from driver to match the well-known name
138 - bus driver: GetNameOwner() for "org.freedesktop.DBus" should return "org.freedesktop.DBus"
f38afcd0
LP
139
140* sd-event
12179984 141 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 142
154ff088
LP
143* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
144 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
145 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
146
d686f034
LP
147* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
148 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
149
69af4503 150* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 151
69af4503 152* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 153
461bd8e4
LP
154* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
155 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
156
ab8e074c
LP
157* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
158
159* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
160
b454b112
LP
161* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
162
163* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
164
06db8540
LP
165* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
166
4ff49cb6
LP
167* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
168
fff87a35
ZJS
169* test/:
170 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
171 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 172
b8b4d3dd
LP
173* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
174
3df82d5a
LP
175* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
176 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
177 file.
178
b5c03638
LP
179* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
180 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
181 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
182 destination.
183
eece8c6f
LP
184* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
185 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
186
356ce991
LP
187* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
188
189* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
190
3b953d68
JT
191* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
192 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
193 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
194 old.
195
09f727ee
LP
196* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
197 need manual exponential loops after all
198
795607b2
LP
199* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
200 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
201 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
202 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
203
0be8342c
LP
204* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
205 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
206 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
207 that automatically.
208
e5ec62c5 209* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 210
826872b6
LP
211* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
212
54c31a79 213* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 214
3679d112
LP
215* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
216
3679d112
LP
217* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
218
219* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
220
cbb77121
LP
221* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
222
d01a73b6
LP
223* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
224
f8aeee1f
LP
225* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
226 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
227 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
228 will be activated.
229
356ce991 230* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 231
81d112a8 232* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 233
b44be3ec 234* EFI:
b44be3ec 235 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
236 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
237 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 238 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 239
c0fe5db5 240* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 241
b44be3ec 242* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 243
b44be3ec
LP
244* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
245 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 246
b44be3ec 247* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 248
b44be3ec 249* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 250
b44be3ec
LP
251* logind:
252 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
253 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
254 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
255 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
256 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
257 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
258 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 259 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 260 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
261 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
262 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
263 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
264 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
265 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
266 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
267 needs setuid().
e673ad04 268
b44be3ec 269* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 270
b44be3ec 271* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 272
b44be3ec 273* journal:
c06bf414 274 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
275 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
276 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
277 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
278 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
279 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
280 - journal: reuse XZ context
281 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
282 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
283 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
284 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
285 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
286 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
287 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 288 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
289 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
290 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 291 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
292 - 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.
293 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
294 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 295 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 296 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
297 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
298 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
299 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
300 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
301 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
302 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 303 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 304 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
305 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
306 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
307 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
308 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
309 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
310 to syslog when it works again.
311 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
312 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
313 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
314 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
315 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
316
317* document:
8b8f2591 318 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
319 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
320 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 321 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 322 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 323 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
324 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
325 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
326 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
327 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
328 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
329 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
330 - man: add more examples to man pages
331 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
332
333* systemctl:
334 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
335 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
336 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
337 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
338 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
339 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
340 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
341 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
342 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
343 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
344 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
345 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
346 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 347 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
348 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
349 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
8b8f2591 350 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
f38afcd0
LP
351
352* unit install:
353 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
354 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
355 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
356 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
357 unit however should remove them all).
358 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
359 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
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:
b44be3ec
LP
366 - timer events with system resume
367 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
368 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
369 o DST changes
eb124a97 370 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0
LP
371 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
372 - 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
90e071d1
LP
373 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
374 - anacron-like feature
d2e83c23
KS
375
376* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
377
378* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
379 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
380 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 381 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 382 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 383 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 384
59704f3e
LP
385* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
386 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
387 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 388
e707c494
LP
389* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
390 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
391 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
392 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
393 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
394 better supported alternative.
e707c494 395
a19554ed
LP
396* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
397
1cb88f2c
LP
398* If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
399
400* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
401* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
402* fedup: generator

406* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
407
b44be3ec 408* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 409
7d8197d1
KS
410* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
411 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
412 - superset of tmpfiles model
413 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
414 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
415 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
416
9ee58bdd
KS
417* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
418 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 419
71ef24d0
LP
420* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
421
1b89884b
LP
422* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
423
b44be3ec
LP
424* nspawn:
425 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
426 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
427 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
428 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
429 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
430 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
431 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
432 interfaces to the container
eb124a97 433 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 434 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
9cb74bcb 435 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
f38afcd0
LP
436 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
437 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
438 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
439 kernel.
a56b63f4 440 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
b44be3ec
LP
441
442* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
443 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
444 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
445 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 446 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 447
424a19f8 448* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 449 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8

68f16003 472* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 473
5a7e9599
LP
474* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
475
68f16003
LP
476* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
477 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
478 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
479 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 480 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 481 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 482

d3a3f222
KS
509* automount: implement expire:
510 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
511 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
512 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
513 - blocking, needs a thread
514 - run until -EAGAIN
515 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
516 - call umount
517 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
518 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
