Bugfixes:
-* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
-* 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.
-* shorten the message to sane length:
+After killing 'systemd --user', systemctl restart user@... fails.
+/run/user/1000/systemd/notify has to be removed manually.
- 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.
+ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
-* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
- See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
+ [Service]
+ Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
+ ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
-External:
+MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
+str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
+report the failure properly.
-* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+External:
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
+* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
+
+* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
+
+* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
+
+* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
+ compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+
Features:
-* machined: make sure we can restart machined without losing machines
-* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
-* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
+* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
-* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
+* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
-* timesyncd:
- - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
- - hookup with networkd: listen to online/offline state
+* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
-* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
+* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
-* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
+* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
-* add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
+* send SIGABRT when a service watchdog is triggered, by default, so that we acquire a backtrace of the hang.
-* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
+* shouldn't RouteMetric= in networkd's [DHCP] section move to [Network]?
-* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
+* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
-* drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
+* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
+ can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
-* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
+* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
-* 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. Alternatively, split up the boot-up state into two, and make Type=idle only be affected by jobs for the default target, but ignore any further jobs
+* add a system-wide shutdown timeout, similar to the startup timeout we already have (see fdo bz #84110)
-* Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
+* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
-* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
+* kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
-* sd-resolve: add callback api
+* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
-* ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
+* rework journal-send.c to use memfds for large blobs if they are available instead of unlinked files in /tmp. Also, if we detect that the kernel knows memfds, refuse anything but sealed memfds.
-* InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
+* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
-* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
+* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
-* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
+* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
+ handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
+ cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
+ 253 messages)
+
+* busctl: add a pcap writer, using LINKTYPE_DBUS/231
+
+* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
+
+* 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....
+
+* 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...
+
+* 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.
-* add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
- chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
- adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
+* 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
do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
the most common operations.
-* support transient mount units
-
-* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
-
-* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
- interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
- GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
- machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
- the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
- status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
- name resolution for containers.
-
* 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
* 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 sd-resolve to resolve the server address
-
* 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
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
* 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.
-
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
- - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
- 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
- - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
- - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
+ - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
- longer term: priority inheritance
- dbus spec updates:
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
- - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
+ - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
* 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 should not do that. Instead
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
* 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.
-
* 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
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 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
* 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 units should get the ability to trigger when:
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* 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: 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
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
- bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
- - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
- - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
- name and machine-id of host (?)
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* 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)
-
* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
-* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
-
* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
-* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
-* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
-
* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
* 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"
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
- - 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
* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
-* 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)
* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
* 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
- apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
-* 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
-
* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
* write blog stories about:
* allow port=0 in .socket units
-* support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
-
* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
* Support --test based on current system state
* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
-* io priority during initialization
-
* drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
* systemd-python:
* networkd:
- add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
- add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
- - send hostname to DHCP server
- add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
- add reduced [Link] support to .network files
- add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
- properly handle routerless dhcp leases
- - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp
- - patch kernel to support module alias for tunnel device (ipip/sit/gre),
- then remove remove libkmod dependency and CAP_SYS_MODULE
- - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
- - add tun/tap netdev support
+ - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
+ - work with non-ethernet devices
+ - add support for more bond options
-* dhcp:
- - export timezone information
- - FORCERENEW
+* networkd-wait-online:
+ - make operstates to wait for configurable?
* dhcp:
+ - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
- export timezone information
- - FORCERENEW
+ - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
+
+* dhcp6:
+ - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
+ them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
+ - write more test cases
+ - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
+ - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
+ - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
+ - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
+ - implement dhcpv6 authentication
+ - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
+ 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
* register catalog database signature as file magic
+* zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
+ does not
+
Regularly:
* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
