Bugfixes:
-* enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
+* 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'
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.
-* ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
- - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
- - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
-
-* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
+* 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:
* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
-* wiki: guidelines how to make use of new cgroup apis
-
Features:
-* set $SHELL where we set $HOME and $USER when User= is set of a service, drop its manual setting from user@.service
+* "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
+ (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
+
+* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
+
+* socket-proxyd:
+ - Support multiple inherited sockets mapped to different remote hosts
+ - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
+ - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
+ - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
+
+* optimize the cgroup propagation bits, especially unit_get_members_mask(), cgroup_context_get_mask()
+
+* "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+
+* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
+
+* Add a new Distribute=$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()
* libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
-* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition
+* 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
+* 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
+* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes

-* backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
- hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
- the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
- shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
- non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
- device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
- simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
-
-* rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
-
* 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
-* document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
-
* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
-* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
* 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.
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
-* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
+* "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).
* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
-
-* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch.
* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
* 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.
+* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- 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 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?)
- 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.
* timer units:
- configurable jitter for timer events
+ - Adjust timers to be triggered at the same time as sd-event timers
- 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
* 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
- document initcall_debug
- kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
-* systemd-run is missing zsh completion scripts
+* 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)
