Lennart Poettering71092d72011-07-29 05:01:47 +02001Bugfixes:
Kay Sievers7c66aeb2012-04-17 02:55:39 +02002* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
Lennart Poetteringc904f642011-02-25 01:47:31 +01004* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +02006* 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
Lennart Poettering9a366072011-10-07 22:00:23 +020010* make polkit checks async
11
Lennart Poetteringa40593a2011-11-08 19:12:29 +010012* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

Lennart Poetteringa4cc3e52013-01-24 02:59:25 +010016* 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
Lennart Poettering0028da22013-01-25 03:07:24 +010019 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
Lennart Poetteringa4cc3e52013-01-24 02:59:25 +010020
Lennart Poettering7e2c2bc2013-01-18 01:48:46 +010021* cgroup attrs:
Lennart Poetteringf0c15f22013-02-27 18:56:25 +010022 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
Lennart Poettering7b4da182013-01-14 02:13:07 +010023
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +010024* localed:
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +010025 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +010027Features:
Lennart Poettering3df82d52013-04-08 20:29:52 +020028
Lennart Poettering19aa7c42013-05-03 14:19:19 +020029* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
30
Lennart Poetteringaa96c6c2013-04-29 18:39:12 -030031* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -030032
Lennart Poetteringef3b5242013-04-19 00:41:24 +020033* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
34 without dropping the location cache entirely.
35
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +020036* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
37 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
38
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +020039* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
40 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
41 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
42 needs setuid().
43
44* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
45
46* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
47
Lennart Poetteringb454b112013-04-17 18:48:23 +020048* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
49
50* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
51
Lennart Poettering4a449ed2013-04-17 16:19:05 +020052* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
53
54* we need dynamic units
55
Harald Hoyer75512302013-04-17 15:41:18 +020056* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
57
Lennart Poettering4ff49cb2013-04-16 04:41:11 +020058* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
59
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -040060* test/:
61 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
62 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
63 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +020064
65* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
66
67* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
68
Lennart Poettering3df82d52013-04-08 20:29:52 +020069* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
70 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
71 file.
72
Kay Sievers5666ea62013-04-08 16:52:20 +020073* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
74 kmod static-nodes
75 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
Lennart Poetteringa9602632013-03-25 17:25:48 +010076
Lennart Poetteringb6b7d432013-04-08 15:23:43 +020077* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
78 units.
79
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +010080* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
81 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
82 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
83 destination.
84
Lennart Poettering752beb02013-03-25 22:09:53 +010085* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
86
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +010087* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
88 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
89
Kay Sieversd325d9b2013-03-23 14:01:44 +010090* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
91 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
92 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +010093
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +010094* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
95
96* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
97
Lennart Poetteringbfa00bc2013-03-22 21:17:53 +010098* we should log capabilities too
99
Josh Triplett3b953d62013-03-15 08:50:12 -0700100* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
101 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
102 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
103 old.
104
Lennart Poettering09f727e2013-03-20 22:57:55 +0100105* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
106 need manual exponential loops after all
107
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100108* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
109 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
110 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
111 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
112
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100113* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
114
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100115* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
116 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
117 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
118 that automatically.
119
Lennart Poettering487060c2013-03-01 14:54:55 +0100120* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
121
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200122* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100123
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100124* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
125
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100126* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100127
Lennart Poettering89737902013-04-29 19:48:03 -0300128* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100129
130* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
131
132* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
133
134* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
135
136* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
137
138* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
139
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100140* man: add more examples to man pages
141
142* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
143
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100144* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
145
146* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
147
148* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
149 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
150 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
151 individually.
152
Lennart Poetteringcbb77122013-02-13 19:35:28 +0100153* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
154
Lennart Poetteringd01a73b2013-02-13 00:12:40 +0100155* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
156
Lennart Poettering990ffbe2013-02-08 23:25:55 +0100157* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
Lennart Poetteringf8aeee12013-01-30 02:33:16 +0100158 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
159
160* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
161 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
162 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
163 will be activated.
164
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100165* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100166
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100167* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100168
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100169* EFI:
170 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
171 - write man page for efi boot generator
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100172 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
173 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
174 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
175
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100176* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100177
178* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
179
180* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
181 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
182
183* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
184
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100185* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
186
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100187* logind:
188 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
189 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
190 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
191 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
192 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
193 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
194 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
195 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100196 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100197 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200198 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
Lennart Poettering89737902013-04-29 19:48:03 -0300199 - add configuration/switches to use
200 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
201 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100202
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100203* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
204
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100205* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
206
207* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
208
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100209* journal:
Kay Sieversb87b8b22013-03-23 13:34:13 +0100210 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
211 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
212 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100213 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100214 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
215 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
216 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
217 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
218 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
219 - journal: reuse XZ context
220 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
221 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
222 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
223 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
224 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
225 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
226 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100227 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100228 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
229 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
230 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100231 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100232 - 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.
233 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
234 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100235 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
236 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100237 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100238 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
239 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
240 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
241 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
242 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
243 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
244 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
Josh Triplett601d9d62013-04-19 14:13:42 -0700245 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
246 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100247
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100248* document:
249 - document unit_name_mangle()
250 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
251 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
252 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
253 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
254 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
255 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100256 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100257 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringe4181482012-11-20 21:33:49 +0100258
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100259* systemctl:
260 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
261 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
262 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
263 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
264 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
265 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
266 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
267 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
268 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
269 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
270 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
271 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
272 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +0100273
Lennart Poetteringe673ad02012-11-14 22:20:51 +0100274* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
275
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100276* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
277
278* timer units:
279 - configurable jitter for timer events
280 - timer events with system resume
281 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
282 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
283 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100284 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100285
286* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
287
288* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
Kay Sieversf6113d42012-11-07 13:59:50 +0100289 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
290 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100291 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
Kay Sievers7a43e912012-11-05 02:17:23 +0100292 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100293 user did not request anything like it.
Lennart Poetteringc55b1b52012-10-31 00:04:59 +0100294
Kay Sievers6c1703c2012-10-29 20:54:19 +0100295* hwdb:
296 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
297 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -0400298
Lennart Poettering59704f32013-01-17 21:20:23 +0100299* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
300 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
301 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
Lennart Poettering9ec82de2012-10-28 00:49:49 +0200302
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200303* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
304 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
305 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
Lennart Poettering7f873282013-01-17 02:49:57 +0100306 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
307 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
308 better supported alternative.
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200309
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200310* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
311
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +0200312* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
313
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200314* If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
315
316* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
317* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
318* fedup: generator
Lennart Poettering603cd8f2012-10-23 01:53:23 +0200319
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100320* timedated:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100321 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
Lennart Poettering6d0274f2012-10-17 02:50:09 +0200322
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +0200323* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
324
Lennart Poettering9b279102012-10-04 14:10:02 -0400325* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
326
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100327* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -0400328
Kay Sievers7d8197d2012-10-02 19:09:09 +0200329* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
330 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
331 - superset of tmpfiles model
332 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
333 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
334 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
335
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200336* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
337 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200338
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400339* high level net_prio setting in execution context
340
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400341* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
342
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +0200343* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
344
Lennart Poettering15abdb92012-12-23 11:56:22 +0100345* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200346
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100347* nspawn:
348 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
349 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
350 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
351 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
352 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100353 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
354 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
355 interfaces to the container
356 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
357 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100358 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200359
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100360* cryptsetup:

362 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
363 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
Lennart Poettering5f1dac62013-04-29 19:57:29 -0300364 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +0200365
Lennart Poetteringde34a422012-09-17 13:24:35 +0200366* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
367
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200368* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200369 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd05c5562013-01-06 13:52:38 -0500376 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200377
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200378* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
379
Lennart Poettering4a308472012-09-11 01:45:27 +0200380* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?

391
Lennart Poettering7560fff2012-08-13 20:31:10 +0200392* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
393
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200394* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
395
Lennart Poettering5a7e9592012-08-13 16:27:17 +0200396* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
397
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200398* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
399 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
400 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
401 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersenedca2e22012-11-05 21:13:28 +0100402 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200403 but much rather a disconnect on success.
Lennart Poettering0790b9f2012-08-09 12:52:49 +0200404
Lennart Poettering5aea9322012-08-08 19:19:45 +0200405* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed

410
Lennart Poettering8230e262012-08-06 16:35:44 +0200411* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
412
Lennart Poettering4d9909c2012-07-31 14:35:42 +0200413* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
414
Lennart Poettering47ae7202012-07-27 12:21:39 +0200415* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?

420 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
421 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
422 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
423 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
424 - system-wide seccomp filter
Lennart Poetteringc66d36e2012-07-10 16:46:15 +0200425
Lennart Poetteringbe0aa782012-07-10 00:32:22 +0200426* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
427
Lennart Poettering99469962012-07-03 16:09:36 +0200428* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
429 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
430
Lennart Poettering3471bed2012-06-27 22:38:35 +0200431* introduce Type=pid-file
432

436
Lennart Poetteringb86fa932012-05-21 15:28:07 +0200437* move passno parsing to fstab generator
438
Kay Sieversd3a3f222013-01-16 05:01:04 +0100439* automount: implement expire:
440 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
441 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
442 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
443 - blocking, needs a thread
444 - run until -EAGAIN
445 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
446 - call umount
447 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
448 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
Lennart Poettering465349c2012-05-07 17:16:50 +0200449
Lennart Poettering06dab8e2012-05-03 22:53:25 +0200450* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

474
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +0100475* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
476
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +0100477* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?

484
Lennart Poettering4cbd9ec2011-11-03 19:55:36 +0100485* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
486
Lennart Poettering65c0cf72011-10-10 22:22:47 +0200487* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
488
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +0200489* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
490 needs to be auto-respawned?
491
Lennart Poetteringad740102011-09-03 03:26:58 +0200492* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
493
Lennart Poetteringde6c78f2011-08-30 22:57:55 +0200494* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
Lennart Poettering7d441dd2011-08-24 21:14:28 +0200495

Lennart Poetteringf28f1da2011-05-20 01:57:20 +0200516* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
517 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
518 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
519
Lennart Poettering88a07672011-05-12 16:14:44 +0200520* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
521 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
522
Lennart Poettering71092d72011-07-29 05:01:47 +0200523* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
Lennart Poettering916abb22011-05-17 19:37:03 +0200524
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100525* readahead:
526 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
527 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)

Kay Sievers69b1c672011-12-29 14:09:04 +0100614* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
615 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
616 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
617 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
618 the RTC to sync up.

629
630* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
631
632* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
633
634* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
635
636* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
