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.

2d19f95c 14Fedora 19:
3679d112 15
a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
55d32caf
LP
27* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
28
eb124a97 29Features:
154ff088 30
11ddb6f4
LP
31* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
32
241da328
LP
33* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
34
7041efe9
LP
35* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
36
37* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
38
b42defe3
LP
39* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
40
c2756a68
LP
41* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
42
43* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
8e2af478
LP
44
45* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46
4ad49000
LP
47* split out CreateMachine into systemd-machined
48
4ad49000
LP
49* introduce new Scope unit type then make logind's session and machine
50 registration use this to set up cgroups
3d3ee759 51
4ad49000
LP
52* should Slice= be part of [Unit] or of [Service]?
53
54* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 55
9444b1f2
LP
56* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
57
58* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
59 validity of session name before appending it to a path
60
61* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
62 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
63
64* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
65 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
66 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
67
a016b922
LP
68* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
69 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
70
a016b922
LP
71* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
72 the hierarchies of child processes
73
1f263d4d
LP
74* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
75
9444b1f2 76* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
77
78* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
79
4e09014d
LP
80* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
81
82* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
83
84* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
85 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
86 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
87 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
88
89* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
90 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
91
d5a2b9a6
LP
92* libsystemd-journal:
93 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
94
eb01ba5d
LP
95* libsystemd-bus:
96 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
97 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 98 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
99 - implement translator service
100 - port systemd to new library
101 - implement busname unit type in systemd
102 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 103 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 104 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 105 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
106 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
107 - implement monitor logic
108 - object vtable logic
109 - longer term:
110 * priority queues
86312ab8 111 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 112
154ff088
LP
113* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
114 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
115 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
116
7e853a9b
LP
117* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
118 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
119 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
120 kernel.
121
d686f034
LP
122* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
123 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
124
19aa7c4f
LP
125* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
126
aa96c6cb 127* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 128
461bd8e4
LP
129* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
130 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
131
ab8e074c
LP
132* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
133 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
134 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
135 needs setuid().
136
137* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
138
139* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
140
b454b112
LP
141* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
142
143* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
144
4a449ed7 145* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 146
4a449ed7
LP
147* we need dynamic units
148
4ff49cb6
LP
149* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
150
fff87a35
ZJS
151* test/:
152 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
153 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
154 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
155
156* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
157
158* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
159
3df82d5a
LP
160* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
161 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
162 file.
163
5666ea6f
KS
164* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
165 kmod static-nodes
166 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 167
b5c03638
LP
168* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
169 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
170 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
171 destination.
172
752beb0c
LP
173* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
174
eece8c6f
LP
175* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
176 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
177
d325d9bc
KS
178* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
179 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
180 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 181
356ce991
LP
182* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
183
184* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
185
bfa00bc6
LP
186* we should log capabilities too
187
3b953d68
JT
188* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
189 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
190 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
191 old.
192
09f727ee
LP
193* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
194 need manual exponential loops after all
195
795607b2
LP
196* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
197 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
198 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
199 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
200
795607b2
LP
201* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
202
0be8342c
LP
203* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
204 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
205 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
206 that automatically.
207
487060c2
LP
208* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
209
e5ec62c5 210* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 211
826872b6
LP
212* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
213
54c31a79 214* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 215
8973790e 216* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
217
218* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
219
220* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
221
222* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
223
224* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
225
226* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
227
3679d112
LP
228* man: add more examples to man pages
229
230* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
231
3679d112
LP
232* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
233
234* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
235
236* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
237 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
238 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
239 individually.
240
cbb77121
LP
241* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
242
d01a73b6
LP
243* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
244
990ffbe5 245* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
246 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
247
248* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
249 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
250 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
251 will be activated.
252
356ce991 253* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 254
81d112a8 255* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 256
b44be3ec
LP
257* EFI:
258 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
259 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
260 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
261 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
262 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 263
c0fe5db5 264* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 265
b44be3ec 266* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 267
b44be3ec
LP
268* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
269 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 270
b44be3ec 271* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 272
b44be3ec 273* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 274
b44be3ec
LP
275* logind:
276 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
277 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
278 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
279 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
280 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
281 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
282 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
283 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 284 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 285 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 286 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 287
b44be3ec 288* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 289
b44be3ec 290* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 291
b44be3ec 292* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 293
b44be3ec 294* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
295 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
296 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
297 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 298 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
299 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
300 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
301 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
302 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
303 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
304 - journal: reuse XZ context
305 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
306 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
307 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
308 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
309 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
310 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
311 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 312 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
313 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
314 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
315 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 316 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
317 - 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.
318 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
319 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
320 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
321 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 322 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
323 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
324 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
325 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
326 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
327 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
328 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
329 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
330 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
331 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
332
333* document:
334 - document unit_name_mangle()
335 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
336 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
337 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
338 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
339 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
340 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 341 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 342 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
343
344* systemctl:
345 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
346 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
347 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
348 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
349 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
350 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
351 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
352 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
353 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
354 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
355 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
356 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
357 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 358
e673ad04
LP
359* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
360
b44be3ec
LP
361* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
362
363* timer units:
364 - configurable jitter for timer events
365 - timer events with system resume
366 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
367 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
368 o DST changes
eb124a97 369 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
370
371* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
372
373* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
374 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
375 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 376 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 377 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 378 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 379
6c1703cc
KS
380* hwdb:
381 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
382 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 383
59704f3e
LP
384* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
385 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
386 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 387
e707c494
LP
388* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
389 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
390 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
391 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
392 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
393 better supported alternative.
e707c494 394
e707c494
LP
395* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools

LP
483* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
484 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
485 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
486 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 487 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 488 but much rather a disconnect on success.

698 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
