Bugfixes:
-* killing nspawn with ]]] results in:
- machine-f20.scope stopping timed out. Killing.
- Stopped Container f20.
- Unit machine-f20.scope entered failed state.
- and it cannot be started again
-
* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
$ systemctl enable getty@.service
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
- log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
-
* shorten the message to sane length:
Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
-External:
+* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
+ See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
-* ps should gain colums for slice
+External:
* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
Features:
-* hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
+* 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.
+
+* support transient mount units
+
+* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
+
+* 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: 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=
* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
-* sd-resolve:
- - make sure event loop integration works similar to event loop integration in other libs
- - maybe drop _free() call, introduce _unref() instead
- - maybe simplify function calls that take a sd_resolve_query object, to not also require the matching sd_resolve?
- - maybe drop the "n_proc" parameter to sd_resolve_new()?
- - change all functions to return "int" and negative errno errors
-
* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* machinectl bash completion is missing
-* busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
-
-* Introduce PrivateDevices=yes/no which works like PrivateTmp= but for /dev setting up a tmpfs for it that only includes /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, but nothing else.
-
-* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
+* completions:
+ - 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
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-* code cleanup
- - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
-
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
-
* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
-* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
+* socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
* 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
-* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
-
-* 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
error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
path anyway.
-* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
- service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
-
* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
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:
- - let the activator peek the peer connection with KDBUS_CMD_MSG_SRC and log it
- 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 queues
- * priority inheritance
- - check sender of response messages
+ - longer term: priority inheritance
- dbus spec updates:
- kdbus mapping
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- "const" properties (posted)
- - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
- - make use of "drop" ioctl in pid 1 bus activation
- - bus proxy: override unique id sender for messages from driver to match the well-known name
- - bus driver: GetNameOwner() for "org.freedesktop.DBus" should return "org.freedesktop.DBus"
+ - path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- - bus proxy should fake seclabel when connecting to kdbus
+ - test bloom filter generation indexes
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
-* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
-
-* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
-
* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
-
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
- - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
- - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
- old.
-
* 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: non-local X11 server handling
- - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- 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
- document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
- add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
- 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 su, 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: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
- lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
- interfaces to the container
- - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
- - 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).
- - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
- SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
- makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
- kernel.
- support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
+ - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
+ - 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
* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
-
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
-* syscall filter:
- - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
- - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
- - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
- - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
- - system-wide seccomp filter
-
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
+ - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
* 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.
* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
-* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
- - postfix, saslauthd
- - apache/samba
- - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
- - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
- - distccd
-
* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
* io priority during initialization
- Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
on Path= matching
- - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
* sd-rtnl:
- - improve container support, and add support for entering containers when reading
- 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)
- - allow opting out of receiving DNS servers over DHCPv4
- 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]
+
+* sd-network:
+ - make sure ipv4ll and dhcp clients can handle changing mac addresses while running
