Bugfixes:
+* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
+ the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
+ $ systemctl enable getty@.service
+ ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
+
* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* make polkit checks async
-
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
- the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
- as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
- that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
- env variable:
- $ cat /proc/252/environ
- initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
+* 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:
-Fedora 19:
+ 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.
-* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
- libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
- name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
- that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
+Fedora 20:
-* cgroup attrs:
- - update dbus interface docs in wiki
+* external: ps should gain colums for slice
* localed:
- localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+
+CGroup Rework Completion:
+
+* 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
Features:
-* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
+* general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
-* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
- full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
- to syslog when it works again.
+* add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
-* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
+* sd-bus: synthesized messages should get serial number (uint32_t) -1
-* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
+* sd-event: allow multiple signal handlers per signal
-* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
+* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* user@.service and session-*.scope should get posession of their own cgroups
+* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
-* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
+* calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
-* fix killing spree logic in systemd-user-sessions
+* sd-bus: when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
-* logind: implement session kill exceptions
+* sd-bus: enforce signatures on response messages
-* fix machine regstration to forward property array
+* sd-bus: see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
-* fix loginctl cgroup enumeration
+* sd-bus: introduce sd_bus_creds object and attach it to messages as well as allow querying it for names
-* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
+* sd-bus: support "const" properties as flag
-* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
+* sd-event: when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event
+ source, but do not return anything up to the event loop
+ caller. Instead add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take
+ retval. This way errors rippling upwards are the option, not the
+ default
-* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
+* sd-event: child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
-* add implicit slice for instantiated services
+* sd-event: native support for watchdog stuff
-* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
+* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH call over the bus
-* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+* sd-bus: SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
-* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
+* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
-* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
+* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
-* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swapiness
+* increase journal files by a few MB each time, instead of piecemeal
-* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
+* add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
-* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+* systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
-* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
+* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
+* bus: access policy as vtable flag
-* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+* journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
-* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
+* tmpfiles: to make sure we don't delete unpacked tarballs with old timestamps right-away never delete stuff that is inside a directory with a new mtime
+
+* "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
+ (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
+
+* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
+
+* socket-proxyd:
+ - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
+ - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
+ - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
+
+* "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+
+* 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
+
+* tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
+
+* we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
+
+* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
+
+* libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
+
+* 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
+
+* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
+
+* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+
+* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+
+* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
+
+* logind: 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 a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
-* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
+* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
-* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
- validity of session name before appending it to a path
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
+ probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
-* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
- kill the session entirely after that is reached.
+* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
+
+* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
+
+* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
+
+* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+
+* 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
+
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
+
+* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
+ only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
+ unit however should remove them all).
+
+* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
+
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+
+* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
+ full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
+ to syslog when it works again.
+
+* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
+
+* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
+
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch.
+
+* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+
+* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
+
+* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+
+* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
- maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
+ maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
-
-* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
- RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
+ Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
+ check for that and suppress event handling.
* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
the hierarchies of child processes
* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
-* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
-
-* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-
-* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
+* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
-* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
+* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
-* libsystemd-journal:
- - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
-
* libsystemd-bus:
- default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
- enforce alignment of pointers passed in
- merge busctl into systemctl or so?
- synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
- properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
- - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
- implement monitor logic
- - object vtable logic
+ - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
- longer term:
* priority queues
* priority inheritance
* 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 whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
+* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
-* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
+* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
-* we need dynamic units
-
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* test/:
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
- - remove all the duplicated code in test/
-
-* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
+ - qemu wrapper script: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg72389.html
* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
destination.
-* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
-
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
- /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
- and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
-
* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* we should log capabilities too
-
* 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
and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
that automatically.
-* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
- suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
-
* 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
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* EFI:
- - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
- write man page for efi boot generator
- honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
- - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
+ - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- - logind: spawn user@..service on login
- 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
- - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
-* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
-
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
- - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
- journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
- journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
- - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
+ - journalctl: expand tabs
- journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
* timer units:
- - configurable jitter for timer events
- 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
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
+ - 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.
-* hwdb:
- - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
- - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-
* 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.
- nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
- nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+ - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
-* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
-
* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
-
* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
-* move passno parsing to fstab generator
-
* automount: implement expire:
- set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
- periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
* udev:
- remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
-* clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
-
-* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
-
* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
+* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
+
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
- document initcall_debug
- kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
+* udev-link-config:
+ - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
+ network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
+ on Path= matching
+ - NamePolicy= replace the current naming rules
+ - MACPolicy= support 'firmware', 'synthetic' and 'random'
+ - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
+
