Bugfixes:
+* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
+ the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
+ $ systemctl enable getty@.service
+ ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
+
* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* make polkit checks async
-
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
- the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
- as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
- that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
- env variable:
- $ cat /proc/252/environ
- initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
+* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
+ log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
+
+* shorten the message to sane length:
-Fedora 19:
+ 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.
-* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
- libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
- name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
- that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
+Fedora 20:
-* cgroup attrs:
- - update dbus interface docs in wiki
+* external: ps should gain colums for slice
* localed:
- localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
CGroup Rework Completion:
-* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
-
* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
-* logind: implement session kill exceptions
+* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
-* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
+Features:
-* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+* general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
-* man: document new bus apis
+* add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
-* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
+* sd-bus: synthesized messages should get serial number (uint32_t) -1
-Features:
+* sd-event: allow multiple signal handlers per signal
-* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
+* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
+* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
-* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
+* calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
-* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
+* sd-bus: when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
-* 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.
+* sd-bus: enforce signatures on response messages
-* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
+* sd-bus: see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
-* man: document in the journalctl man page what the colors mean
+* sd-bus: introduce sd_bus_creds object and attach it to messages as well as allow querying it for names
-* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
- only remove the instance symlink (systemct disable of a template
- unit however should remove them all).
+* sd-bus: support "const" properties as flag
-* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
+* sd-event: when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event
+ source, but do not return anything up to the event loop
+ caller. Instead add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take
+ retval. This way errors rippling upwards are the option, not the
+ default
-* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
+* sd-event: child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
-* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
+* sd-event: native support for watchdog stuff
-* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH call over the bus
+
+* sd-bus: SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
+
+* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
+
+* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
+
+* add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
+
+* systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
+
+* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
+
+* bus: access policy as vtable flag
+
+* journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
+
+* 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
+
+* "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
+
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
+
+* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
+
+* socket-proxyd:
+ - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
+ - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
+ - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
+
+* "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
+
+* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
+
+* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
+
+* tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
+
+* we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
+
+* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
+
+* libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
+
+* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
+
+* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
+ error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
+ path anyway.
+
+* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
+ service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
+
+* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
+
+* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
+
+* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+
+* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
-* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
+* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
-* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
+* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
-* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
+* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+
+* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
+
+* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
+
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
+ probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+
+* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
+
+* 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
+
+* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+
+* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
+
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
+
+* "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).
+
+* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
+
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
to syslog when it works again.
-* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
-
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
-
-* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
-
-* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
-
-* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch.
* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
-* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
- validity of session name before appending it to a path
-
* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
- maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
+ maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
-
-* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
- RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
+ Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
+ check for that and suppress event handling.
* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
the hierarchies of child processes
* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
-* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
-
-* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-
-* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
+* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- merge busctl into systemctl or so?
- synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
- properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
- - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
- implement monitor logic
- - object vtable logic
+ - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
- longer term:
* priority queues
* priority inheritance
* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
-* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
+* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
-* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
+* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
-* we need dynamic units
-
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* test/:
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
- - remove all the duplicated code in test/
-
-* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
+ - qemu wrapper script: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg72389.html
* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
destination.
-* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
-
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
- /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
- and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
-
* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
that automatically.
-* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
- suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
-
* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* EFI:
- - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
- 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?)
- - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
+ - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- - logind: spawn user@..service on login
- logind: non-local X11 server handling
- logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
-* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
-
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
- - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
- <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
- http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
- import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
* timer units:
- - configurable jitter for timer events
- timer events with system resume
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
+ - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
+ - anacron-like feature
* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* hwdb:
- - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
- - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-
* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
- nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
- nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+ - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
-* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
-
* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
-
* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
-* move passno parsing to fstab generator
-
* automount: implement expire:
- set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
- periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
* udev:
- remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
-* clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
-
-* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
-
* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
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.
+
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
- document initcall_debug
- kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
+* udev-link-config:
+ - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
+ network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
+ on Path= matching
+ - NamePolicy= replace the current naming rules
+ - MACPolicy= support 'firmware', 'synthetic' and 'random'
+ - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
+
External:
* dbus:
* Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
-* %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
-
* pahole
* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
