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.

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
241da328
LP
31* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
32
7041efe9
LP
33* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
34
35* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
36
b42defe3
LP
37* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
38
c2756a68
LP
39* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
40
41* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
8e2af478
LP
42
43* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
44
4ad49000
LP
45* split out CreateMachine into systemd-machined
46
47* "transient" units, i.e units that are not sourced from disk but
48 created only transiently via bus calls
f123dba8 49
4ad49000
LP
50* introduce new Scope unit type then make logind's session and machine
51 registration use this to set up cgroups
3d3ee759 52
4ad49000
LP
53* should Slice= be part of [Unit] or of [Service]?
54
55* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 56
9444b1f2
LP
57* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
58
59* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
60 validity of session name before appending it to a path
61
62* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
63 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
64
65* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
66 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
67 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
68
a016b922
LP
69* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
70 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
71
a016b922
LP
72* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
73 the hierarchies of child processes
74
1f263d4d
LP
75* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
76
9444b1f2 77* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
78
79* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
80
4e09014d
LP
81* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
82
83* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
84
85* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
86 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
87 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
88 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
89
90* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
91 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
92
d5a2b9a6
LP
93* libsystemd-journal:
94 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
95
eb01ba5d
LP
96* libsystemd-bus:
97 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
98 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 99 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
100 - implement translator service
101 - port systemd to new library
102 - implement busname unit type in systemd
103 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 104 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 105 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 106 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
107 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
108 - implement monitor logic
109 - object vtable logic
110 - longer term:
111 * priority queues
86312ab8 112 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 113
154ff088
LP
114* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
115 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
116 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
117
7e853a9b
LP
118* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
119 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
120 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
121 kernel.
122
d686f034
LP
123* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
124 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
125
19aa7c4f
LP
126* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
127
aa96c6cb 128* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 129
461bd8e4
LP
130* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
131 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
132
ab8e074c
LP
133* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
134 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
135 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
136 needs setuid().
137
138* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
139
140* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
141
b454b112
LP
142* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
143
144* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
145
4a449ed7 146* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 147
4a449ed7
LP
148* we need dynamic units
149
4ff49cb6
LP
150* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
151
fff87a35
ZJS
152* test/:
153 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
154 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
155 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
156
157* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
158
159* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
160
3df82d5a
LP
161* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
162 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
163 file.
164
5666ea6f
KS
165* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
166 kmod static-nodes
167 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 168
b5c03638
LP
169* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
170 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
171 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
172 destination.
173
752beb0c
LP
174* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
175
eece8c6f
LP
176* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
177 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
178
d325d9bc
KS
179* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
180 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
181 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 182
356ce991
LP
183* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
184
185* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
186
bfa00bc6
LP
187* we should log capabilities too
188
3b953d68
JT
189* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
190 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
191 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
192 old.
193
09f727ee
LP
194* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
195 need manual exponential loops after all
196
795607b2
LP
197* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
198 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
199 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
200 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
201
795607b2
LP
202* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
203
0be8342c
LP
204* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
205 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
206 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
207 that automatically.
208
487060c2
LP
209* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
210
e5ec62c5 211* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 212
826872b6
LP
213* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
214
54c31a79 215* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 216
8973790e 217* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
218
219* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
220
221* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
222
223* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
224
225* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
226
227* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
228
3679d112
LP
229* man: add more examples to man pages
230
231* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
232
3679d112
LP
233* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
234
235* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
236
237* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
238 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
239 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
240 individually.
241
cbb77121
LP
242* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
243
d01a73b6
LP
244* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
245
990ffbe5 246* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
247 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
248
249* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
250 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
251 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
252 will be activated.
253
356ce991 254* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 255
81d112a8 256* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 257
b44be3ec
LP
258* EFI:
259 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
260 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
261 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
262 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
263 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 264
c0fe5db5 265* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 266
b44be3ec 267* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 268
b44be3ec
LP
269* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
270 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 271
b44be3ec 272* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 273
b44be3ec 274* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 275
b44be3ec
LP
276* logind:
277 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
278 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
279 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
280 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
281 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
282 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
283 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
284 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 285 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 286 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 287 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 288
b44be3ec 289* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 290
b44be3ec 291* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 292
b44be3ec 293* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 294
b44be3ec 295* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
296 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
297 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
298 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 299 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
300 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
301 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
302 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
303 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
304 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
305 - journal: reuse XZ context
306 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
307 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
308 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
309 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
310 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
311 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
312 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 313 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
314 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
315 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
316 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 317 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
318 - 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.
319 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
320 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
321 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
322 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 323 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
324 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
325 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
326 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
327 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
328 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
329 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
330 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
331 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
332 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
333
334* document:
335 - document unit_name_mangle()
336 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
337 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
338 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
339 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
340 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
341 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 342 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 343 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
344
345* systemctl:
346 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
347 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
348 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
349 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
350 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
351 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
352 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
353 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
354 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
355 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
356 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
357 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
358 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 359
e673ad04
LP
360* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
361
b44be3ec
LP
362* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
363
364* timer units:
365 - configurable jitter for timer events
366 - timer events with system resume
367 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
368 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
369 o DST changes
eb124a97 370 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
371
372* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
373
374* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
375 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
376 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 377 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 378 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 379 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 380
6c1703cc
KS
381* hwdb:
382 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
383 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 384
59704f3e
LP
385* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
386 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
387 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 388
e707c494
LP
389* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
390 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
391 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
392 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
393 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
394 better supported alternative.
e707c494 395
e707c494
LP
396* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
397

487 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 488 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
