2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10 * make polkit checks async
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 * stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
15 the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
16 as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
17 that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
19 $ cat /proc/252/environ
20 initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
24 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
25 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
26 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
27 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
30 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
33 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
35 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
37 CGroup Rework Completion:
39 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes
41 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
43 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
45 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
47 * logind: implement session kill exceptions
49 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
51 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
53 * man: document new bus apis
55 * Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
59 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
61 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
63 * add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
65 * 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
67 * journalctl: add an output mode that looks like classic /var/log/messages, but also outputs the cursor of the last entry so that people can write scripts that can run iteratively and always process data that has been added since the last time.
69 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
71 * man: document in the journalctl man page what the colors mean
73 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
74 only remove the instance symlink (systemct disable of a template
75 unit however should remove them all).
77 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
79 * journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
81 * introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
83 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
85 * Get rid of systemd-sysv:
86 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
88 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
90 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
92 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
93 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
94 to syslog when it works again.
96 * prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
98 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
100 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
102 * move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
104 * move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
106 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
108 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
110 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
112 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
114 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
116 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
118 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
119 validity of session name before appending it to a path
121 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
122 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
123 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
125 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
126 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
128 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
129 the hierarchies of child processes
131 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
133 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
135 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
137 * cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
139 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
141 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
142 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
143 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
144 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
146 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
147 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
150 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
151 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
152 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
153 - implement translator service
154 - port systemd to new library
155 - implement busname unit type in systemd
157 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
158 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
159 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
160 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
161 - implement monitor logic
162 - object vtable logic
165 * priority inheritance
167 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
168 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
169 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
171 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
172 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
173 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
176 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
177 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
179 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
181 * investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
183 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
184 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
186 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
187 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
188 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
191 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
193 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
195 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
197 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
199 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
201 * we need dynamic units
203 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
206 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
207 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
208 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
210 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
212 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
214 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
215 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
218 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
219 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
220 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
223 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
225 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
226 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
228 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
229 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
230 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
232 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
234 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
236 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
237 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
238 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
241 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
242 need manual exponential loops after all
244 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
245 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
246 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
247 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
249 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
251 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
252 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
253 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
256 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
258 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
260 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
262 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
264 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
266 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
268 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
270 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
272 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
274 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
276 * man: add more examples to man pages
278 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
280 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
282 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
284 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
285 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
286 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
289 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
291 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
293 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
294 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
296 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
297 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
298 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
301 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
303 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
306 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
307 - write man page for efi boot generator
308 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
309 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
310 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
312 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
314 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
316 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
317 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
319 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
321 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
324 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
325 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
326 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
327 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
328 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
329 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
330 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
331 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
332 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
333 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
334 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
336 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
338 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
340 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
343 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
344 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
345 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
346 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
347 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
348 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
349 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
350 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
351 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
352 - journal: reuse XZ context
353 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
354 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
355 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
356 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
357 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
358 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
359 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
360 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
361 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
362 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
363 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
364 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
365 - 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.
366 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
367 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
368 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
369 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
370 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
371 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
372 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
373 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
374 - journalctl: expand tabs
375 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
376 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
377 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
378 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
381 - document unit_name_mangle()
382 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
383 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
384 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
385 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
386 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
387 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
388 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
389 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
392 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
393 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
394 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
395 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
396 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
397 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
398 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
399 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
400 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
401 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
402 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
403 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
404 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
406 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
408 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
411 - configurable jitter for timer events
412 - timer events with system resume
413 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
414 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
416 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
418 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
420 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
421 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
422 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
423 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
424 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
425 user did not request anything like it.
428 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
429 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
431 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
432 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
433 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
435 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
436 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
437 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
438 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
439 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
440 better supported alternative.
442 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
444 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
446 * 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().
448 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
449 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
453 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
455 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
457 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
459 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
461 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
462 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
463 - superset of tmpfiles model
464 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
465 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
466 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
468 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
469 waiting for the timeout
471 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
473 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
475 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
477 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
480 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
481 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
482 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
483 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
484 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
485 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
486 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
487 interfaces to the container
488 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
489 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
490 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
493 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
494 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
495 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
496 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
498 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
500 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
501 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
503 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
505 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
507 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
508 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
510 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
512 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
514 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
516 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
518 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
520 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
522 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
524 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
526 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
528 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
530 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
531 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
532 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
533 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
534 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
535 but much rather a disconnect on success.
537 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
539 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
541 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
543 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
545 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
547 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
549 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
552 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
553 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
554 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
555 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
556 - system-wide seccomp filter
558 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
560 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
561 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
563 * introduce Type=pid-file
565 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
567 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
569 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
571 * automount: implement expire:
572 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
573 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
574 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
575 - blocking, needs a thread
577 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
579 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
580 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
582 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
584 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
587 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
589 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
591 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
593 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
595 * 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
597 * support container_ttys=
599 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
601 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
603 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
605 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
607 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
609 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
611 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
613 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
615 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
617 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
619 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
620 needs to be auto-respawned?
622 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
624 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
626 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
628 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
630 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
632 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
633 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
635 * move PAM code into its own binary
637 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
638 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
640 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
642 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
644 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
646 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
647 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
648 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
650 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
651 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
653 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
656 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
657 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
658 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
659 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
660 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
662 * add support for /bin/mount -s
664 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
666 * write blog stories about:
667 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
668 - enabling dbus services
670 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
672 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
673 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
674 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
676 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
677 - the journal HTTP iface
678 - non-cgroup resource management
679 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
680 - refreshed, longer missions statement
681 - calendar time events
682 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
683 - how to create your own target
684 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
685 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
687 * allow port=0 in .socket units
689 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
691 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
693 * Support --test based on current system state
695 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
697 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
699 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
701 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
702 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
706 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
707 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
710 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
712 * io priority during initialization
714 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
717 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
719 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
722 - plot per-process IO utilization
723 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
724 - document initcall_debug
725 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
731 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
732 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
733 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
734 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
735 - always pass cred data along each message
736 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
738 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
740 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
742 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
744 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
745 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
746 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
747 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
750 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
752 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
754 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
756 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
758 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
760 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
762 * 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=
764 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
766 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
768 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
772 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
774 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
776 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
778 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
782 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
784 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
786 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
788 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
790 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
