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'
+* Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
+
+* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
* 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);
+External:
+* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* shorten the message to sane length:
+* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
- 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.
+* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
-External:
+* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
-* ps should gain colums for slice
+* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
-* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
+ compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
-* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
+Features:
-* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
+* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
-Features:
+* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
+
+* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
+
+* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
+
+* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
+
+* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
+
+* dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
+
+* maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
+
+* remove multi-seat-x now
+
+* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
+
+* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
+
+* apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
+ instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
+ timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
+
+* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
+ journals in.
+
+* 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.
+
+* logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
+ the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
+ for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
+ complete.
+
+* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
+
+* remove readahead in 217
+
+* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
+
+* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
+ units are shown.
+
+* networkd:
+ - add LLDP client side support
+ - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
+ a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
+ - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
+ - expose in the API the following bits:
+ - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
+ - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
+ - option 100, 101, timezone
+ - option 123, 144, geolocation
+ - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
+ - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
+ NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
+ to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
+ - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
+ for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
+
+* resolved:
+ - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
+ we always process them before we process client requests
+ - DNSSEC
+ - use base64 for key presentation?
+ - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
+ - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
+ - DNS
+ - search paths
+ - mDNS/DNS-SD
+ - avahi compat
+ - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
+ - edns0
+ - dname
+ - cname on PTR (?)
+
+* 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.
+
+* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
+
+* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
+
+* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
+
+* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
+
+* support empty /etc boots nicely:
+ - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
+ - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
+ - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
+
+* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
+
+* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
+
+* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
+
+* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
+
+* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
+
+* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
+
+* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
+
+* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
+
+* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
+ they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
+
+* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
+
+* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
+
+* 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
+ do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ the most common operations.
-* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
+* 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
+
+* 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
+ a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
+ 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.
+
+* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
+
+* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
+ $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
+ should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
+ it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
+ desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
+ on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
+
+* completions:
+ - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
* cgroups:
- - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
- introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-* code cleanup
- - get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
- - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
-
-* switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
-
* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
-
-* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
-
* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
-* Add a new Distribute=$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/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
- probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
+ probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
+ (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
-* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
* 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
-* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
- maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
- entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
- Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
- check for that and suppress event handling.
-
-* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
-
-* 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.
-* libsystemd-bus:
- - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - implement translator service
- - implement monitor logic
- - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
- - when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
+* sd-bus:
+ - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
+ - 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
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- - support "const" properties as flag
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
- - sort out error codes for sd_bus_release_name(), distuingish: successful removal from foreign name, from non-existing name
+ - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
- - kdbus: we need a way to distuingish messages we got due to monitoring from normal messages, since we want to bind methods only to the latter
- - kdbus: when we do "systemctl daemon-reexec" the call doesn't get properly cancelled
- - longer term:
- * priority queues
- * priority inheritance
+ - longer term: priority inheritance
+ - dbus spec updates:
+ - kdbus mapping
+ - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
+ - GVariant
+ - "const" properties (posted)
+ - path escaping
+ - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
+ - test bloom filter generation indexes
* 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
* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
-* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
+* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
-* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
-
-* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
- so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
- file.
-
* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
- destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
destination.
* 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
* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
-* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* 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
* EFI:
- - 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?)
- change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
- 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
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+ - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- 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
- journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
- - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
- tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
- when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
- journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
- journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
- 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,
+ so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
* document:
- - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
+ - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
[Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
- man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
- - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
- - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
- document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
- document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
- 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
about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
- - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
+ - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
- Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
- - 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 trggering units ran last
* unit install:
- "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
- - "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).
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
- systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
-
-* 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
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
- 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
+ - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not 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
- we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
- logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
- better supported alternative.
-
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
* If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
+* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
* fedup: generator
-* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
-
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
- - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
- - superset of tmpfiles model
- - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
- - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
- - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
-
* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
waiting for the timeout
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
-* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
+* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* 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
- 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
* cryptsetup:
* make timer units go away after they elapsed
-* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
- (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
-

+ when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
-* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
-
-* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
-
* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
-* syscall filter:
- - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls

- - 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.
+ verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
* introduce Type=pid-file

- - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
-
-* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
+ - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t

-* add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
-
* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)

-* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
+* default to actual 32-bit 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
needs to be auto-respawned?
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
* tmpfiles:
- - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar

-* support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
-
-* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
+* add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
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. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
-
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
- readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
- readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
-* add support for /bin/mount -s
-

network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
on Path= matching
- - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
+ - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
* sd-rtnl:
- - replace sd_rtnl_message_append() by type-safe versions
- - 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

+ - 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
+ situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
+ or interface down
+ - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
+ this behavior
External:
* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
-* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
- in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
- to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
- we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
- the RTC to sync up.

* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields

Regularly:
* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
* pahole
