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.

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

21
2d19f95c 22Fedora 19:
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
LP
35* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
36
bafb15ba
LP
37CGroup Rework Completion:
38
bafb15ba
LP
39* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
40
41* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
42
43* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
44
45* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46
47* logind: implement session kill exceptions
48
bafb15ba
LP
49* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
50
049b4474 51* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba
LP
52
53* man: document new bus apis
54
248aa28f
LP
55* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
56
eb124a97 57Features:
154ff088 58
e7256c5c
LP
59* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
60
042e33ae
LP
61* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
62
18d4e7c2
LP
63* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
64
36c0868b
LP
65* 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
66
fa7deadb
LP
67* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
68
c5757cc8 69* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 70 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
71 unit however should remove them all).
72
73* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
74
69af4503 75* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
d907c208
LP
76
77* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
78
79* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
80
47a1454f
LP
81* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
82 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
83
049b4474
LP
84* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
85
b0adb546
LP
86* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
87
bdeeb6b5
LP
88* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
89 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
90 to syslog when it works again.
91
92* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
93
94* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
95
96* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
97
174da5c5
LP
98* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
99
fb6becb4
LP
100* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
101
fb6becb4
LP
102* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
103
6c12b52e
LP
104* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
105
11ddb6f4
LP
106* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
107
7041efe9
LP
108* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
109
b42defe3
LP
110* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
111
4ad49000 112* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 113
9444b1f2
LP
114* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
115 validity of session name before appending it to a path
116
9444b1f2 117* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 118 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2
LP
119 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
120
a016b922
LP
121* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
122 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
123
a016b922
LP
124* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
125 the hierarchies of child processes
126
1f263d4d
LP
127* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
128
9444b1f2 129* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
130
131* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
132
4e09014d
LP
133* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
134
135* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
136
a65f06bb 137* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
138 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
139 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
140 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
141
142* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
143 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
144
eb01ba5d
LP
145* libsystemd-bus:
146 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
147 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 148 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
149 - implement translator service
150 - port systemd to new library
151 - implement busname unit type in systemd
152 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 153 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 154 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 155 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
156 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
157 - implement monitor logic
158 - object vtable logic
159 - longer term:
160 * priority queues
86312ab8 161 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 162
154ff088
LP
163* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
164 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
165 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
166
7e853a9b
LP
167* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
168 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
169 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
170 kernel.
171
d686f034
LP
172* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
173 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
174
69af4503 175* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 176
69af4503 177* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 178
461bd8e4
LP
179* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
180 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
181
ab8e074c
LP
182* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
183 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
184 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
185 needs setuid().
186
187* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
188
189* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
190
b454b112
LP
191* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
192
193* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
194
4a449ed7 195* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 196
4a449ed7
LP
197* we need dynamic units
198
4ff49cb6
LP
199* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
200
fff87a35
ZJS
201* test/:
202 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
203 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
204 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
205
206* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
207
208* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
209
3df82d5a
LP
210* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
211 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
212 file.
213
b5c03638
LP
214* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
215 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
216 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
217 destination.
218
752beb0c
LP
219* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
220
eece8c6f
LP
221* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
222 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
223
d325d9bc
KS
224* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
225 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
226 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 227
356ce991
LP
228* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
229
230* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
231
3b953d68
JT
232* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
233 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
234 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
235 old.
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
795607b2
LP
240* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
241 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
242 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
243 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
244
795607b2
LP
245* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
246
0be8342c
LP
247* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
248 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
249 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
250 that automatically.
251
69af4503 252* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 253
e5ec62c5 254* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 255
826872b6
LP
256* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
257
54c31a79 258* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 259
8973790e 260* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 261
69af4503 262* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
263
264* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
265
266* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
267
69af4503 268* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
269
270* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
271
3679d112
LP
272* man: add more examples to man pages
273
274* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
275
3679d112
LP
276* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
277
278* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
279
280* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
281 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
282 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
283 individually.
284
cbb77121
LP
285* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
286
d01a73b6
LP
287* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
288
990ffbe5 289* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
290 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
291
292* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
293 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
294 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
295 will be activated.
296
356ce991 297* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 298
81d112a8 299* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 300
b44be3ec
LP
301* EFI:
302 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
303 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
304 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
305 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
306 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 307
c0fe5db5 308* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 309
b44be3ec 310* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 311
b44be3ec
LP
312* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
313 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 314
b44be3ec 315* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 316
b44be3ec 317* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 318
b44be3ec
LP
319* logind:
320 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
321 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
322 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
323 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
324 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
325 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
326 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
327 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 328 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 329 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 330 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 331
b44be3ec 332* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 333
b44be3ec 334* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 335
b44be3ec 336* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 337
b44be3ec 338* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
339 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
340 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
341 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 342 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
343 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
344 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
345 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
346 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
347 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
348 - journal: reuse XZ context
349 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
350 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
351 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
352 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
353 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
354 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
355 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 356 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
357 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
358 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
359 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 360 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
361 - 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.
362 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
363 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 364 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 365 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
366 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
367 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
368 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
369 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 370 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
371 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
372 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
373 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
374 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
375
376* document:
377 - document unit_name_mangle()
378 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
379 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
380 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
381 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
382 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
383 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 384 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 385 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
386
387* systemctl:
388 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
389 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
390 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
391 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
392 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
393 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
394 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
395 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
396 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
397 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
398 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
399 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
400 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"

406* timer units:
407 - configurable jitter for timer events
408 - timer events with system resume
409 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
410 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
411 o DST changes
eb124a97 412 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.

416* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
417 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
418 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 419 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 420 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 421 user did not request anything like it.

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

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

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

485 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 486 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context

LP
524* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
525
68f16003
LP
526* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
527 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
528 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
529 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 530 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 531 but much rather a disconnect on success.

570 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
571 - blocking, needs a thread
572 - run until -EAGAIN
573 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
574 - call umount
575 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD

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