KS
2* the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
3 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
4
cff452c7
KS
5* enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
6 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
7 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
8 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
9
7c66aeba
KS
10* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
11
c904f64d
LP
12* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
13
f957632b
KS
14* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
17
9a366075
LP
18* make polkit checks async
19
a40593a0 20* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 21
a6f0104a
ZJS
22* ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
23 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
24 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
25
04ac7992
ZJS
26* shorten the message to sane length:
27
28 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
29
466784c8 30Fedora 20:
3679d112 31
dc7adf20 32* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
7b4da18c 33
81d112a8 34* localed:
81d112a8
LP
35 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
36
55d32caf 37* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

LP
40CGroup Rework Completion:
41
94bbc991 42* introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
bafb15ba
LP
43
44* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
45
46* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
47
48* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
49
bafb15ba
LP
50* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
51
049b4474 52* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 53
431c72dc 54* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
bafb15ba 55
eb124a97 56Features:
154ff088 57
38563c19
LP
58* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
59
94bbc991
LP
60* unlink PID files of units after exit
61
62* tiny tool that saves/restores backlight
63
64* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
65
07beec12
LP
66* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
67
5a4555ba
LP
68* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
69
afaba023
LP
70* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
71
4c4ae27d
LP
72* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
73
408f281b
LP
74* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
75
e1b7e7ec
LP
76* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
77 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
78
6aaa8c2f 79* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 80
e7256c5c
LP
81* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
82
042e33ae
LP
83* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
84
e1b7e7ec 85* 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 86
36c0868b
LP
87* 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
88
fa7deadb
LP
89* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
90
c5757cc8 91* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 92 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
93 unit however should remove them all).
94
95* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
96
d907c208
LP
97* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
98
bdeeb6b5
LP
99* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
100 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
101 to syslog when it works again.
102
bdeeb6b5
LP
103* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
104
105* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
106
fb6becb4
LP
107* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
108
6c12b52e
LP
109* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
110
11ddb6f4
LP
111* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
112
7041efe9
LP
113* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
114
b42defe3
LP
115* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
116
4ad49000 117* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 118
9444b1f2
LP
119* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
120 validity of session name before appending it to a path
121
9444b1f2 122* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 123 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 124 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
125 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
126 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 127
a016b922
LP
128* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
129 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
130
a016b922
LP
131* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
132 the hierarchies of child processes
133
1f263d4d
LP
134* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
135
9444b1f2 136* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
137
138* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
139
4e09014d
LP
140* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
141
a65f06bb 142* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
143 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
144 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
145 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
146
147* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
148 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
149
eb01ba5d
LP
150* libsystemd-bus:
151 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
152 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 153 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
154 - implement translator service
155 - port systemd to new library
156 - implement busname unit type in systemd
157 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 158 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 159 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 160 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
161 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
162 - implement monitor logic
163 - object vtable logic
164 - longer term:
165 * priority queues
86312ab8 166 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 167
154ff088
LP
168* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
169 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
170 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
171
7e853a9b
LP
172* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
173 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
174 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
175 kernel.
176
d686f034
LP
177* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
178 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
179
69af4503 180* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 181
69af4503 182* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 183
461bd8e4
LP
184* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
185 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
186
ab8e074c
LP
187* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
188 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
189 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
190 needs setuid().
191
192* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
193
194* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
195
b454b112
LP
196* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
197
198* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
199
4a449ed7 200* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 201
4a449ed7
LP
202* we need dynamic units
203
4ff49cb6
LP
204* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
205
fff87a35
ZJS
206* test/:
207 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
208 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
209 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 210
b8b4d3dd
LP
211* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
212
3df82d5a
LP
213* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
214 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
215 file.
216
b5c03638
LP
217* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
218 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
219 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
220 destination.
221
752beb0c
LP
222* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
223
eece8c6f
LP
224* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
225 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
226
356ce991
LP
227* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
228
229* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
230
3b953d68
JT
231* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
232 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
233 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
234 old.
235
09f727ee
LP
236* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
237 need manual exponential loops after all
238
795607b2
LP
239* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
240 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
241 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
242 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
243
795607b2
LP
244* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
245
0be8342c
LP
246* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
247 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
248 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
249 that automatically.
250
69af4503 251* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 252
e5ec62c5 253* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 254
826872b6
LP
255* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
256
54c31a79 257* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 258
8973790e 259* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 260
69af4503 261* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
262
263* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
264
265* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
266
69af4503 267* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
268
269* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
270
3679d112
LP
271* man: add more examples to man pages
272
273* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
274
3679d112
LP
275* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
276
277* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
278
279* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
280 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
281 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
282 individually.
283
cbb77121
LP
284* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
285
d01a73b6
LP
286* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
287
990ffbe5 288* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
289 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
290
291* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
292 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
293 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
294 will be activated.
295
356ce991 296* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 297
81d112a8 298* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 299
b44be3ec
LP
300* EFI:
301 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
302 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
303 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
304 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 305 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 306
c0fe5db5 307* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 308
b44be3ec 309* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 310
b44be3ec
LP
311* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
312 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 313
b44be3ec 314* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 315
b44be3ec 316* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 317
b44be3ec
LP
318* logind:
319 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
320 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
321 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
322 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
323 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
324 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
325 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
326 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 327 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 328 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 329 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 330
b44be3ec 331* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 332
b44be3ec 333* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 334
b44be3ec 335* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 336
b44be3ec 337* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
338 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
339 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
340 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 341 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
342 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
343 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
344 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
345 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
346 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
347 - journal: reuse XZ context
348 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
349 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
350 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
351 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
352 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
353 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
354 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 355 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
356 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
357 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
358 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 359 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
360 - 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.
361 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
362 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 363 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 364 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
365 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
366 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
367 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
368 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 369 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
370 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
371 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
372 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
373 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
374
375* document:
376 - document unit_name_mangle()
377 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
378 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
379 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
380 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
381 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
382 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 383 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 384 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
385
386* systemctl:
387 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
388 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
389 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
390 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
391 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
392 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
393 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
394 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
395 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
396 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
397 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
398 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
399 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"

405* timer units:
406 - configurable jitter for timer events
407 - timer events with system resume
408 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
409 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
410 o DST changes
eb124a97 411 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.

415* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
416 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
417 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 418 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 419 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 420 user did not request anything like it.

423 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
424 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.

e707c494
LP
426* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
427 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
428 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283

429 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in

477 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
478 interfaces to the container

LP
519* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
520
68f16003
LP
521* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
522 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
523 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
524 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 525 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 526 but much rather a disconnect on success.

562 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
563 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
564 - blocking, needs a thread
565 - run until -EAGAIN
566 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
567 - call umount
568 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
