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 27
2834ffe7
LP
28* machinectl should show /etc/os-release info from the container
29
30* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
31
3a53fdaa
LP
32* order OnCalendar timer units after timer-sync.target if DefaultDependencies=no so that we don't trigger them prematurely
33
48fda398
LP
34* sysusers: add "m" command for declaring group members
35
0b305869
LP
36* refuse mounting on symlinks
37
fed515f0 38* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
22981162 39
a01647e5 40* support empty /etc boots nicely:
3c779fa5 41 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
e8a152c6
LP
42 - nspawn: add --mode=auto,stateful,stateless,volatile
43 - fstab-generator: support auot/stateful/stateless/volatile on the kernel cmdline, too
44 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
a01647e5 45
3de03738
LP
46* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
47
48* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
49
8891f695
LP
50* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
51* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
52
2b1c3767
LP
53* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
54
81429136 55* timesyncd - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
1df52dd2 56
37efac5d
LP
57* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
58
7348b3ad
LP
59* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
60
f55b9bdf
LP
61* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
62
f55b9bdf
LP
63* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
64
e107ed18
LP
65* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
66
81429136
KS
67* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
68 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 69
e30fa16e
LP
70* 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
71
f598ac3e 72* 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 73
01083ad0
LP
74* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
75
b107b705
LP
76* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
77
edb2935c
LP
78* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
79
769918ec
LP
80* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
81
82* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
83
6a3f892a 84* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9
LP
85 - Support LUKS for root devices
86 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 87 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 88
efc141b8
LP
89* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
90 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
d28315e4 91 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
efc141b8
LP
92 the most common operations.
93
65026403
LP
94* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
95 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
96 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 97
eda8f067
LP
98* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
99
d4fdc205
LP
100* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
101 /proc/$PID/exe
102
af1082b0
LP
103* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
104 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
105 for ReusePort=
106
488ad3b3
LP
107* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
108 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
109 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
110 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
111 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
112
47c94a96
LP
113* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
114
09ecd746
LP
115* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
116 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
117 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
118 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
119 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
120 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
121
ef417cfd 122* completions:
ef417cfd 123 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
3333d748 124
f38afcd0 125* cgroups:
f38afcd0
LP
126 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
127 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
128 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
129 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
130 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
131 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
132 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 133
f38afcd0
LP
134* transient units:
135 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
136 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
137 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 138
47c94a96
LP
139* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
140
718db961
LP
141* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
142
f38afcd0 143* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
144
145* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
146
966204e0
LP
147* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
148
94676f3e 149* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 150
ced4d067
LP
151* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
152
41644622
LP
153* 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
154
7f79cd71 155* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 156
19aadacf
JE
157* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
158 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
159 path anyway.
160
fcba531e
LP
161* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
162
8b8f2591
ZJS
163* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
164 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
e10e429f 165 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
e1b7e7ec 166
6aaa8c2f 167* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 168
d28315e4 169* 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 170
bdeeb6b5
LP
171* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
172
173* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
174
4e09014d
LP
175* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
176 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
177
6bb648a1 178* sd-bus:
d28315e4 179 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
7973ca19 180 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
7973ca19
LP
181 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
182 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
183 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
dc17bcef 184 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
f38afcd0 185 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 186 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
dc17bcef 187 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
80caea6c 188 - 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 189 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b
LP
190 - dbus spec updates:
191 - kdbus mapping
192 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
193 - GVariant
bee7e928 194 - "const" properties (posted)
2ecfc64e 195 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 196 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
69727e6d 197 - test bloom filter generation indexes
f38afcd0
LP
198
199* sd-event
12179984 200 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 201
154ff088
LP
202* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
203 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
204 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
205
69af4503 206* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 207
461bd8e4
LP
208* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
209 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
210
ab8e074c
LP
211* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
212
213* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
214
b454b112
LP
215* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
216
217* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
218
06db8540
LP
219* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
220
4ff49cb6
LP
221* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
222
fff87a35
ZJS
223* test/:
224 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
225 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 226
b5c03638 227* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 228 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
229 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
230 destination.
231
eece8c6f
LP
232* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
233 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
234
356ce991
LP
235* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
236
09f727ee
LP
237* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
238 need manual exponential loops after all
239
c1446921
LP
240* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
241 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
242 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
243 is installed.
795607b2 244
0be8342c
LP
245* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
246 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
247 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
248 that automatically.
249
e5ec62c5 250* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 251
826872b6
LP
252* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
253
d28315e4 254* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 255
3679d112
LP
256* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
257
3679d112
LP
258* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
259
260* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
261
cbb77121
LP
262* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
263
356ce991 264* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 265
81d112a8 266* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 267
b44be3ec 268* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
269 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
270 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 271 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 272
c0fe5db5 273* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 274
b44be3ec 275* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 276
b44be3ec
LP
277* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
278 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 279
b44be3ec 280* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 281
b44be3ec 282* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 283
b44be3ec
LP
284* logind:
285 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
286 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
287 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
288 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
289 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
e5ec62c5 290 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
291 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
292 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
293 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
294 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
295 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
296 needs setuid().
e673ad04 297
b44be3ec 298* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 299
b44be3ec 300* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 301
b44be3ec 302* journal:
c06bf414 303 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
304 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
305 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
306 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
d28315e4 307 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec
LP
308 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
309 - journal: reuse XZ context
310 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
311 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
312 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
313 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
314 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
315 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
316 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 317 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
318 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
319 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 320 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
321 - 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.
322 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
323 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 324 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 325 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
326 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
327 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
328 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
329 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
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 332 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 333 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
334 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
335 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
336 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
337 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
338 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
339 to syslog when it works again.
340 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
341 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
342 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
d28315e4 343 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
f38afcd0 344 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
345
346* document:
8b8f2591 347 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
348 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
349 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 350 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 351 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 352 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
353 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
354 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
355 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
356 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
357 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
358 - man: add more examples to man pages
359 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
360
361* systemctl:
362 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
363 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
364 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
365 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
366 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
367 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
368 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
369 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 370 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec
LP
371 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
372 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
373 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0
LP
374 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
375 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
376
377* unit install:
378 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
379 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
f38afcd0
LP
380 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
381 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 382
b44be3ec 383* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
384 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
385 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
386 o DST changes
eb124a97 387 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0 388 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
d28315e4 389 - 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 390 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23
KS
391
392* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
393
394* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
395 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
396 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 397 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 398 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 399 user did not request anything like it.

d28315e4 418* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 419
b44be3ec 420* nspawn:
b44be3ec 421 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
9cb74bcb 422 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
a56b63f4 423 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
b44be3ec
LP
424
425* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
426 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself

0790b9fe 447
68f16003
LP
448* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
449 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
d28315e4 450 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
68f16003 451 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
d28315e4 452 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
68f16003 453 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 454

d3a3f222
KS
474* automount: implement expire:
475 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
476 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
477 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
478 - blocking, needs a thread
479 - run until -EAGAIN
480 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
481 - call umount
482 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
483 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
