2* Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5

b3ae710c
ZJS
5* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .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

13* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
14 See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..

f38afcd0 16External:
f38afcd0 17* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
466784c8 18 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
55d32caf 19
f38afcd0 20* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 21
f38afcd0 22* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
bafb15ba 23
81429136 24* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
e7b4d43e 25
81429136 26Features:
fbe1a1a9
LP
27
28* coredump: add a size-based cleanup logic to coredump helper, so that we don't flood /var/lib/systemd/coredump unrestricted
29
a01647e5 30* support empty /etc boots nicely:
3c779fa5 31 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
a01647e5 32
3de03738
LP
33* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
34
35* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
36
8891f695
LP
37* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
38* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
39
2b1c3767
LP
40* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
41
81429136 42* timesyncd - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
1df52dd2 43
37efac5d
LP
44* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
45
7348b3ad
LP
46* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
47
f55b9bdf
LP
48* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
49
f55b9bdf
LP
50* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
51
e107ed18
LP
52* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
53
81429136
KS
54* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
55 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 56
e30fa16e
LP
57* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
58
f598ac3e 59* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
11fb37f1 60
01083ad0
LP
61* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
62
b107b705
LP
63* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
64
edb2935c
LP
65* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
66
769918ec
LP
67* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
68
69* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
70
6a3f892a 71* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9
LP
72 - Support LUKS for root devices
73 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 74 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 75
efc141b8
LP
76* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
77 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
d28315e4 78 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
efc141b8
LP
79 the most common operations.
80
65026403
LP
81* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
82 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
83 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 84
eda8f067
LP
85* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
86
d4fdc205
LP
87* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
88 /proc/$PID/exe
89
af1082b0
LP
90* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
91 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
92 for ReusePort=
93
488ad3b3
LP
94* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
95 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
96 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
97 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
98 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
99
47c94a96
LP
100* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
101
09ecd746
LP
102* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
103 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
104 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
105 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
106 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
107 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
108
ef417cfd 109* completions:
ef417cfd 110 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
3333d748 111
f38afcd0 112* cgroups:
f38afcd0
LP
113 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
114 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
115 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
116 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
117 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
118 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
119 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 120
f38afcd0
LP
121* transient units:
122 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
123 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
124 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 125
47c94a96
LP
126* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
127
718db961
LP
128* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
129
f38afcd0 130* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
131
132* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
133
966204e0
LP
134* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
135
94676f3e 136* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 137
ced4d067
LP
138* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
139
41644622
LP
140* 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
141
7f79cd71 142* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 143
19aadacf
JE
144* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
145 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
146 path anyway.
147
fcba531e
LP
148* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
149
8b8f2591
ZJS
150* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
151 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
e10e429f 152 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
e1b7e7ec 153
6aaa8c2f 154* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 155
d28315e4 156* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 157
bdeeb6b5
LP
158* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
159
160* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
161
4e09014d
LP
162* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
163 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
164
6bb648a1 165* sd-bus:
d28315e4 166 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
7973ca19 167 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
7973ca19
LP
168 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
169 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
170 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
dc17bcef 171 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
f38afcd0 172 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 173 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
dc17bcef 174 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
80caea6c 175 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
ab9716c2 176 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b
LP
177 - dbus spec updates:
178 - kdbus mapping
179 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
180 - GVariant
bee7e928 181 - "const" properties (posted)
2ecfc64e 182 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 183 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
69727e6d 184 - test bloom filter generation indexes
f38afcd0
LP
185
186* sd-event
12179984 187 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 188
154ff088
LP
189* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
190 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
191 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
192
69af4503 193* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 194
461bd8e4
LP
195* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
196 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
197
ab8e074c
LP
198* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
199
200* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
201
b454b112
LP
202* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
203
204* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
205
06db8540
LP
206* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
207
4ff49cb6
LP
208* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
209
fff87a35
ZJS
210* test/:
211 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
212 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 213
b5c03638 214* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 215 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
216 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
217 destination.
218
eece8c6f
LP
219* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
220 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
221
356ce991
LP
222* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
223
09f727ee
LP
224* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
225 need manual exponential loops after all
226
c1446921
LP
227* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
228 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
229 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
230 is installed.
795607b2 231
0be8342c
LP
232* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
233 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
234 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
235 that automatically.
236
e5ec62c5 237* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 238
826872b6
LP
239* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
240
d28315e4 241* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 242
3679d112
LP
243* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
244
3679d112
LP
245* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
246
247* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
248
cbb77121
LP
249* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
250
356ce991 251* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 252
81d112a8 253* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 254
b44be3ec 255* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
256 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
257 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 258 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 259
c0fe5db5 260* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 261
b44be3ec 262* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 263
b44be3ec
LP
264* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
265 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 266
b44be3ec 267* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 268
b44be3ec 269* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 270
b44be3ec
LP
271* logind:
272 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
273 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
274 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
275 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
276 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
e5ec62c5 277 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
278 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
279 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
280 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
281 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
282 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
283 needs setuid().
e673ad04 284
b44be3ec 285* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 286
b44be3ec 287* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 288
b44be3ec 289* journal:
c06bf414 290 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
291 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
292 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
293 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
d28315e4 294 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec
LP
295 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
296 - journal: reuse XZ context
297 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
298 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
299 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
300 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
301 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
302 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
303 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 304 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
305 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
306 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 307 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
308 - 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.
309 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
310 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 311 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 312 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
313 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
314 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
315 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
316 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
317 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
318 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 319 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 320 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
321 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
322 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
323 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
324 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
325 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
326 to syslog when it works again.
327 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
328 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
329 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
d28315e4 330 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
f38afcd0 331 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
332
333* document:
8b8f2591 334 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
335 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
336 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 337 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 338 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 339 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
340 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
341 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
342 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
343 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
344 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
345 - man: add more examples to man pages
346 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
347
348* systemctl:
349 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
350 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
351 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
352 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
353 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
354 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
355 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
356 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 357 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec
LP
358 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
359 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
360 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0
LP
361 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
362 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
363
364* unit install:
365 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
366 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
f38afcd0
LP
367 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
368 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 369
b44be3ec 370* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
371 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
372 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
373 o DST changes
eb124a97 374 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0 375 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
d28315e4 376 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
90e071d1 377 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23
KS
378
379* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
380
381* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
382 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
383 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 384 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 385 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 386 user did not request anything like it.

LP
403* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
404
d28315e4 405* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 406
b44be3ec 407* nspawn:
b44be3ec 408 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
9cb74bcb 409 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
a56b63f4 410 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
b44be3ec
LP
411
412* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
413 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself

0790b9fe 434
68f16003
LP
435* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
436 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
d28315e4 437 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
68f16003 438 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
d28315e4 439 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
68f16003 440 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 441

LP
442* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno

460
d3a3f222
KS
461* automount: implement expire:
462 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
463 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
464 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
465 - blocking, needs a thread
466 - run until -EAGAIN
467 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
468 - call umount
469 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
470 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
