2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
9 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
11 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
12 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
13 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
15 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
17 * When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
18 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
20 * shorten the message to sane length:
22 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.
26 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
29 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
31 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
32 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
34 CGroup Rework Completion:
36 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
38 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
40 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
42 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
46 * sd-bus: synthesized messages should get serial number (uint32_t) -1
48 * sd-event: allow multiple signal handlers per signal
50 * timer: expose accuracy as unit setting
52 * sd-event: do per-minute coalescing of timer events too
54 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
56 * move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
58 * calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
61 - restore selinux access control on properties
63 * sd-bus: when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
65 * sd-bus: enforce signatures on response messages
67 * sd-bus: make message handlers take an sd_bus_error and generate error replies automatically if they are set
69 * sd-bus: when replying to a bus message we should not need to specify the bus again
71 * sd-bus: see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
73 * sd-bus: introduce sd_bus_creds object and attach it to messages as well as allow querying it for names
75 * sd-bus: support "const" properties as flag
77 * sd-bus: add api call to escape bus path components
79 * sd-event: when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event
80 source, but do not return anything up to the event loop
81 caller. Instead add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take
82 retval. This way errors rippling upwards are the option, not the
85 * sd-event: child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
87 * sd-event: native support for watchdog stuff
89 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH call over the bus
91 * sd-bus: SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
93 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
95 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
97 * check :no-sender logic after PID 1 conversion
99 * increase journal files by a few MB each time, instead of piecemeal
101 * add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
103 * systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
105 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
107 * bus: access policy as vtable flag
109 * journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
111 * 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
113 * "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
114 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
116 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
118 * remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
121 - Support multiple inherited sockets mapped to different remote hosts
122 - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
123 - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
124 - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
126 * optimize the cgroup propagation bits, especially unit_get_members_mask(), cgroup_context_get_mask()
128 * "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
130 * 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
132 * Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
134 * tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
136 * we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
138 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
140 * libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
142 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
144 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
145 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
148 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
149 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
150 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
152 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
154 * ensure scope units may be started only a single time
156 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
158 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
160 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
162 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
164 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
166 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
168 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
170 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
171 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
173 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
175 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
177 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
179 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
181 * 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
183 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
185 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
186 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
187 unit however should remove them all).
189 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
191 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
193 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
194 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
195 to syslog when it works again.
197 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
199 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
201 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch.
203 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
205 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
207 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
209 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
211 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
212 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
213 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
214 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
215 check for that and suppress event handling.
217 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
218 the hierarchies of child processes
220 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
222 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
224 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
226 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
227 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
228 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
229 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
231 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
232 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
235 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
236 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
237 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
238 - implement translator service
239 - port systemd to new library
240 - implement busname unit type in systemd
242 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
243 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
244 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
245 - implement monitor logic
246 - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
249 * priority inheritance
251 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
252 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
253 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
255 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
256 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
257 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
260 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
261 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
263 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
265 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
267 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
268 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
270 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
271 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
272 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
275 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
277 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
279 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
281 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
283 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
285 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
288 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
289 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
290 - qemu wrapper script: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg72389.html
292 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
294 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
295 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
298 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
299 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
300 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
303 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
304 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
306 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
308 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
310 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
311 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
312 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
315 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
316 need manual exponential loops after all
318 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
319 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
320 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
321 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
323 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
325 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
326 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
327 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
330 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
332 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
334 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
336 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
338 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
340 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
342 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
344 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
346 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
348 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
350 * man: add more examples to man pages
352 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
354 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
356 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
358 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
359 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
360 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
363 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
365 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
367 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
368 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
369 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
372 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
374 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
377 - write man page for efi boot generator
378 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
379 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
380 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
382 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
384 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
386 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
387 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
389 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
391 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
394 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
395 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
396 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
397 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
398 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
399 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
400 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
401 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
402 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
404 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
406 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
409 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
410 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
411 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
412 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
413 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
414 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
415 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
416 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
417 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
418 - journal: reuse XZ context
419 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
420 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
421 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
422 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
423 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
424 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
425 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
426 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
427 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
428 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
429 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
430 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
431 - 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.
432 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
433 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
434 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
435 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
436 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
437 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
438 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
439 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
440 - journalctl: expand tabs
441 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
442 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
443 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
444 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
447 - document unit_name_mangle()
448 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
449 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
450 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
451 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
452 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
453 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
454 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
455 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
458 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
459 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
460 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
461 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
462 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
463 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
464 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
465 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
466 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
467 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
468 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
469 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
470 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
472 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
474 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
477 - configurable jitter for timer events
478 - Adjust timers to be triggered at the same time as sd-event timers
479 - timer events with system resume
480 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
481 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
483 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
484 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
485 - anacron-like feature
487 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
489 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
490 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
491 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
492 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
493 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
494 user did not request anything like it.
496 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
497 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
498 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
500 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
501 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
502 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
503 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
504 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
505 better supported alternative.
507 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
509 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
511 * 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().
513 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
514 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
518 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
520 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
522 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
524 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
526 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
527 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
528 - superset of tmpfiles model
529 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
530 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
531 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
533 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
534 waiting for the timeout
536 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
538 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
540 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
542 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
545 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
546 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
547 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
548 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
549 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
550 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
551 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
552 interfaces to the container
553 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
554 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
555 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
556 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
559 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
560 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
561 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
562 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
564 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
566 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
567 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
569 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
571 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
573 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
574 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
576 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
578 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
580 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
582 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
584 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
586 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
588 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
590 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
592 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
594 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
595 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
596 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
597 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
598 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
599 but much rather a disconnect on success.
601 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
603 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
605 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
607 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
609 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
611 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
614 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
615 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
616 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
617 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
618 - system-wide seccomp filter
620 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
622 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
623 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
625 * introduce Type=pid-file
627 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
629 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
631 * automount: implement expire:
632 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
633 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
634 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
635 - blocking, needs a thread
637 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
639 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
640 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
642 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
644 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
647 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
650 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
652 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
654 * 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
656 * support container_ttys=
658 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
660 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
662 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
664 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
666 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
668 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
670 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
672 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
674 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
675 needs to be auto-respawned?
677 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
679 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
681 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
683 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
685 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
687 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
688 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
690 * move PAM code into its own binary
692 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
693 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
695 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
697 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
699 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
701 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
702 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
703 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
705 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
707 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
708 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
710 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
713 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
714 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
715 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
716 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
717 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
719 * add support for /bin/mount -s
721 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
723 * write blog stories about:
724 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
725 - enabling dbus services
727 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
729 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
730 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
731 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
733 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
734 - the journal HTTP iface
735 - non-cgroup resource management
736 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
737 - refreshed, longer missions statement
738 - calendar time events
739 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
740 - how to create your own target
741 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
742 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
744 * allow port=0 in .socket units
746 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
748 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
750 * Support --test based on current system state
752 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
754 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
756 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
758 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
759 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
763 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
764 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
767 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
769 * io priority during initialization
771 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
774 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
776 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
779 - plot per-process IO utilization
780 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
781 - document initcall_debug
782 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
785 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
786 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
788 - NamePolicy= replace the current naming rules
789 - MACPolicy= support 'firmware', 'synthetic' and 'random'
790 - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
796 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
797 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
798 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
799 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
800 - always pass cred data along each message
801 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
803 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
805 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
807 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
809 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
810 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
811 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
812 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
815 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
817 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
819 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
821 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
823 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
825 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
827 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
829 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
831 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
833 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
837 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
839 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
841 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
843 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
847 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
849 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
851 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
853 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
855 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
