-Preparations for 218:
-
-* cgroup delegation issues
-
-* test-bus-kernel-bloom is borked
-
-* systemctl status reports all services as runtime-enabled?
-
Bugfixes:
* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-
* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
[Service]
str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
report the failure properly.
+* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
+ bus_close does not kill children?
+
External:
* 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
-
* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+Before 220:
+
+* rework fsckd/fsck's connection logic or remove fsck entirely
+
+* fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
+
+* make unmount-on-eject work again
+
+* bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
+
Features:
-* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
+* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
+ subvolumes we create to it.
+
+* nspawn: add --overlay= to support overlay file systems, similar to
+ --tmpfs= and --bind=.
+
+* When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
+ log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
+
+* to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
+ that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
+ by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
+
+* journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
+ written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
+ to.
+
+* add udev rule construct SYSCTL{} to write to sysctls
+
+* assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
+
+* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
+ and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
+ infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
+ control of coredumping.
+
+* generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
+ that are not supported...
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
+
+* PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
+ an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
+ symlinks, only add new ones.
+
+* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
+ colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
+
+* when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
+
+* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
+
+* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
+ don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
+
+* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
+ whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
+ be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
+ picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
+ the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
+
+* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
+ with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
+ systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
+ from the kernel's logs.
+
+* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
+
+* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
+ for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
+ useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
+ systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
+ their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
+ is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
+ host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
+ without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
-* bash completion for busctl, to make it truly useful
+* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
-* journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
- SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
+* Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
+
+* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
+
+* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+
+* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
+
+* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
+
+* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
+
+* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+
+* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
+
+* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
+
+* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
+
+* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
+
+* "machinectl history"
+
+* "machinectl diff"
+
+* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
+
+* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
+
+* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
+
+* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
+
+* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
+
+* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
- continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
+ continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
-* set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
-
* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
-* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
-
-* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
-
-* figure out what to do with libmount and utab?
-
-* We really should have a FOREACH macro to iterate through inotify events we read, similar to KDBUS_FOREACH_ITEM
-
* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
-* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
-
* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
-* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
-
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
-* systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
+* systemctl edit:
+- allow creation of units from scratch
+- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
+ Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
-
* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
parsing callbacks should use it.
for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
- allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
+ - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
* resolved:
- put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* completions:
- - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
-
* cgroups:
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
the hierarchies of child processes
* transient units:
- - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
- 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
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
- - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
- - kdbus: remove NameOwnerChanged kernel messages for monitors
- - kdbus: PID/TID goes missing for method calls from outside the PID namespace?
- - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
- - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
- - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
- - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
- without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
- pull-in the policy.
+ - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
+ - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
+ - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
- see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
- need manual exponential loops after all
-
* 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
- logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
- - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
- expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
- given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+ - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
+ so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
- 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
- - 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.
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- 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
- - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
- - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
- - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
- reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
+ - don't keep stale db in case event processing fails (also notify userspace about the failure)
* 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
* tmpfiles:
- apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
+ - replace F with f+.
+ - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
- write more test cases
- implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
- implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
- - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
- implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
