* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
+* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".

* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
Features:
-* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
+* add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
+ chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
+ adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
+
+* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
+
+* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
+
+* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
+
+* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
+
+* gpt-auto-generator:
+ - Support LUKS for root devices
+ - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
+ - Make /home automount rather than mount?
+
+* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
+ lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
+ don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ the most common operations.
-* man: move .link, .network and .netdev documentation into their own
- man pages maybe called "systemd.link(5)", "systemd.network(5)" and
- "systemd.netdev(5)" or so.
+* support transient mount units
-* extend device cgroup controller support to allow enabling groups of
- device nodes, so that pts can be allowed in whole. For that,
- introduce the syntax "block-XYZ" and "char-XYZ" in addition to the
- existing "/dev/foobar", where XYZ then is looked up in /proc/devices
- and mapped to one or more majors.
+* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
-* Add all pts device nodes to those allowed by default when the device
- controller is used.
+* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
+ interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
+ GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
+ machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
+ the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
+ status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
+ name resolution for containers.
+
+* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
+ CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
+ when it is otherwise off
+
+* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
/proc/$PID/exe
-* systemctl (and possibly related tools): support a new switch that
- allows enumerating units in local containers recursively. "systemctl
- list-units -R" or so should not only lists on the host, but also the
- services in all containers in a pretty way, to give an overview of
- the entire system. Also, maybe add "systemctl list-machines" which
- works like "machinectl list" but includes information about the
- health status of each registered machine. For that we should
- probably implement something that encodes the system health status
- in a single enum state, i.e. something like a system-wide state
- starting → running → failed → stopping, that is based on the current
- job queue and a check for failed services. Maybe then change
- "systemctl status" without args to output this state along with a
- selection of other data, such as the uptime or so.
-
-* Add a seccomp-based filter for socket() calls to limit services to
- specific address families (for example: AF_UNIX), inspired by
- Android's sandboxing
+* systemctl: support --recursive for list-sockets, list-timers,
+ ... too, not just for list-units.
* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
for ReusePort=
-* add a timelimit to generator invocation
-
* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
* completions:
- - busctl zsh completion is outdated
- - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
- - systemd-nspawn completion is missing for bash
- manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
* cgroups:
- - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
- introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
-* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
-
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
check for that and suppress event handling.
-* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
- when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - implement monitor logic
+ - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
+ - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
+ - allow updating attach flags during runtime
+ - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
+ - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
+ - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
+ - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
- longer term: priority inheritance
- - check sender of response messages
- dbus spec updates:
- kdbus mapping
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- "const" properties (posted)
- - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
+ - path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- - allow updating attach flags during runtime
- - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
- test bloom filter generation indexes
- - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
need manual exponential loops after all
-* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
- kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
- installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
- whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
+* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
+ that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
+ how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
+ is installed.
* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
- database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
- so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
- will be activated.
-
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
- - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
- session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
- add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
- if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
- rework wait filter to not require match callback
- better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
- systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
- - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
* unit install:
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
* timer units:
- - timer events with system resume
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
- calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
- 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
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
- - anacron-like feature
* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
- output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
- surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
-
* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
* nspawn:
- - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with /usr/bin/getent, so that NSS resolving works correctly
- - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
- nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
- - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
- bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+ - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
- maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
- - allow booting disk images with a GPT signature using the bootloaderspec partition uuids
+ - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
+ name and machine-id of host (?)
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
-* syscall filter: optionally don't enforce no new privs?
-
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
* for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
-* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
+* hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
on Path= matching
* sd-rtnl:
- - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
- add support for more attribute types
+ - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
+ - add support for multi-part messages (simply call the same callback repeatedly?)
* networkd:
+ - change from udev to rtnl being the main events we listen to devices on, udev will then simply
+ be used for synchronization
- add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
- add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
- add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
- add reduced [Link] support to .network files
+ - add IPv4LL tests (inspire by DHCP)
+ - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
+ - have smooth transition from LL to routable address, without disconnecting clients.
+
+* sd-network:
+ - make sure ipv4ll and dhcp clients can handle changing mac addresses while running
