3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
8 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
10 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
12 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
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.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
24 * logind: selinux is borked...
26 * logind: sends SessionNew on Lock()?
28 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
30 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
32 * check utf8 everywhere
34 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
36 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
38 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
40 * unset container= in PID1?
42 * automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
44 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
45 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
47 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
49 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
51 * internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
53 * finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
55 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
56 needs to be auto-respawned?
58 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
60 * introduce sd_log_open() to create a connection to the syslog bridge via sd-daemon.h
62 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
64 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
66 * service restart retry configuration
68 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
69 * tmpfiles: support generation of char/block devices, symlinks and one-line files (think sysfs)
71 * Introduce ControlGroupPersistant=yes to set +t on the tasks file when creating the cgroup
73 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
75 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
77 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
79 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
80 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
82 * move PAM code into its own binary
84 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
86 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
88 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
90 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
91 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
93 * make sure people don't leave processes around after ExecStartPre=
95 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
97 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
99 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
101 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1)
103 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
105 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
106 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
107 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
109 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
110 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
112 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
114 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
116 * detect LXC with $container=lxc
118 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
120 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
122 * add support for /bin/mount -s
124 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
126 * cgroup_notify_empty(): recursively check groups up the tree, too
128 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
130 * write blog stories about:
131 - enabling dbus services
133 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
135 - cgroup best pratices to avoid stepping on each others toes
136 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
137 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
138 - security properties
140 - details of instantiated @.service setups
142 * allow port=0 in .socket units
144 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
146 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
148 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
150 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
152 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
154 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
156 * Support --test based on current system state
158 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
160 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
162 * configurable jitter for timer events
164 * timer events with system resume
166 * timer events on calendar time
168 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon to
169 be killed very late after the rootfs is read only? If implement pass
170 this to shutdown binary via command line argument.
172 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
174 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

177 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
178 * exec settings override
179 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
181 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
183 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
184 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
188 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
189 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
192 * auditd service files
194 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
196 * io priority during initialization
198 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
200 * new deps "Triggers" and "TriggeredBy"
202 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
204 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
206 * suspend, resume support?
208 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services

221 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
223 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
225 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
227 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
229 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
231 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
233 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
235 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
236 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
237 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
238 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
241 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
242 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
244 * kernel: add /proc/sys file exposing CAP_LAST_CAP? sysconf?
245 merged: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=73efc0394e148d0e15583e13712637831f926720
247 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
251 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
253 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
255 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
257 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
261 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
