TODO revision 431c72dc3d482732a01d3ab929aa9b2c36422d46
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* make polkit checks async
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder env variable:
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder $ cat /proc/252/environ
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian MaederCGroup Rework Completion:
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* logind: implement session kill exceptions
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* review: scope units, slice units, pid1, machinectl, libsystem-login, pam_system, systemctl commands
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* 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
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder unit however should remove them all).
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder to syslog when it works again.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
7bffb8b0e6cae4bb7ecb59b99327add6106c06b9Christian Maeder* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
ee31a8a5f5d786472f2b5dfb271b38e6d401fa35Christian Maeder* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder validity of session name before appending it to a path
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
b7413fd7a18b060775364d271c3e706c07227b13Christian Maeder Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
* 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...
* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
- change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
- logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
- When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
* 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
- do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
- check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
- journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
- journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
- 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.
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
- systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
- DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
* 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().
* 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
- instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
- support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
* 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
* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
- remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
* 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
* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
* 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)
- readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
* add support for /bin/mount -s
- init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
- hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
* support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
- rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
- libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
- add documentation to systemd.daemon
- allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
- teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
* 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=
* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
