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

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

466784c8 22Fedora 20:
3679d112 23
a4cc3e5c
LP
24* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
25 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
26 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 27 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 28
7e2c2bcf 29* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 30 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 31
81d112a8 32* localed:
81d112a8
LP
33 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
34
55d32caf 35* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

LP
38CGroup Rework Completion:
39
bafb15ba
LP
40* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
41
42* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
43
44* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
45
46* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
47
48* logind: implement session kill exceptions
49
bafb15ba
LP
50* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
51
049b4474 52* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 53
61ad59b1 54* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1
bafb15ba 55
248aa28f
LP
56* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
57
eb124a97 58Features:
154ff088 59
e1b7e7ec
LP
60* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
61 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
62
c3bb87db
LP
63* btfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
64
e7256c5c
LP
65* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
66
042e33ae
LP
67* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
68
e1b7e7ec 69* 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 70
36c0868b
LP
71* 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
72
fa7deadb
LP
73* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
74
c5757cc8 75* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 76 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
77 unit however should remove them all).
78
79* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
80
69af4503 81* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
d907c208
LP
82
83* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
84
85* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
86
049b4474
LP
87* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
88
bdeeb6b5
LP
89* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
90 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
91 to syslog when it works again.
92
93* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
94
95* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
96
97* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
98
174da5c5
LP
99* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
100
fb6becb4
LP
101* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
102
fb6becb4
LP
103* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
104
6c12b52e
LP
105* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
106
11ddb6f4
LP
107* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
108
7041efe9
LP
109* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
110
b42defe3
LP
111* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
112
4ad49000 113* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 114
9444b1f2
LP
115* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
116 validity of session name before appending it to a path
117
9444b1f2 118* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 119 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 120 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
121 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
122 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 123
a016b922
LP
124* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
125 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
126
a016b922
LP
127* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
128 the hierarchies of child processes
129
1f263d4d
LP
130* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
131
9444b1f2 132* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
133
134* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
135
4e09014d
LP
136* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
137
138* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
139
a65f06bb 140* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
141 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
142 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
143 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
144
145* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
146 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
147
eb01ba5d
LP
148* libsystemd-bus:
149 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
150 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 151 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
152 - implement translator service
153 - port systemd to new library
154 - implement busname unit type in systemd
155 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 156 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 157 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 158 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
159 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
160 - implement monitor logic
161 - object vtable logic
162 - longer term:
163 * priority queues
86312ab8 164 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 165
154ff088
LP
166* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
167 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
168 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
169
7e853a9b
LP
170* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
171 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
172 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
173 kernel.
174
d686f034
LP
175* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
176 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
177
69af4503 178* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 179
69af4503 180* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 181
461bd8e4
LP
182* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
183 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
184
ab8e074c
LP
185* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
186 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
187 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
188 needs setuid().
189
190* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
191
192* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
193
b454b112
LP
194* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
195
196* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
197
4a449ed7 198* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 199
4a449ed7
LP
200* we need dynamic units
201
4ff49cb6
LP
202* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
203
fff87a35
ZJS
204* test/:
205 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
206 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
207 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 208
b8b4d3dd
LP
209* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
210
3df82d5a
LP
211* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
212 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
213 file.
214
b5c03638
LP
215* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
216 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
217 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
218 destination.
219
752beb0c
LP
220* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
221
eece8c6f
LP
222* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
223 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
224
356ce991
LP
225* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
226
227* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
228
3b953d68
JT
229* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
230 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
231 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
232 old.
233
09f727ee
LP
234* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
235 need manual exponential loops after all
236
795607b2
LP
237* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
238 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
239 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
240 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
241
795607b2
LP
242* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
243
0be8342c
LP
244* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
245 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
246 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
247 that automatically.
248
69af4503 249* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 250
e5ec62c5 251* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 252
826872b6
LP
253* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
254
54c31a79 255* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 256
8973790e 257* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 258
69af4503 259* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
260
261* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
262
263* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
264
69af4503 265* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
266
267* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
268
3679d112
LP
269* man: add more examples to man pages
270
271* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
272
3679d112
LP
273* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
274
275* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
276
277* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
278 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
279 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
280 individually.
281
cbb77121
LP
282* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
283
d01a73b6
LP
284* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
285
990ffbe5 286* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
287 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
288
289* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
290 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
291 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
292 will be activated.
293
356ce991 294* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 295
81d112a8 296* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 297
b44be3ec
LP
298* EFI:
299 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
300 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
301 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
302 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 303 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 304
c0fe5db5 305* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 306
b44be3ec 307* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 308
b44be3ec
LP
309* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
310 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 311
b44be3ec 312* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 313
b44be3ec 314* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 315
b44be3ec
LP
316* logind:
317 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
318 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
319 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
320 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
321 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
322 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
323 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
324 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 325 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 326 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 327 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 328
b44be3ec 329* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 330
b44be3ec 331* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 332
b44be3ec 333* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 334
b44be3ec 335* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
336 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
337 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
338 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 339 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
340 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
341 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
342 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
343 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
344 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
345 - journal: reuse XZ context
346 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
347 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
348 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
349 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
350 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
351 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
352 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 353 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
354 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
355 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
356 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 357 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
358 - 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.
359 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
360 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 361 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 362 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
363 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
364 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
365 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
366 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 367 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
368 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
369 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
370 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
371 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
372
373* document:
374 - document unit_name_mangle()
375 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
376 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
377 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
378 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
379 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
380 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 381 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 382 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
383
384* systemctl:
385 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
386 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
387 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
388 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
389 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
390 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
391 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
392 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
393 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
394 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
395 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
396 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
397 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"

404 - configurable jitter for timer events
405 - timer events with system resume
406 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
407 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)

414 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
415 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 416 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 417 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 418 user did not request anything like it.

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

LP
519* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
520 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
521 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
522 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 523 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
