Line 65: − + − + − + − |- − | kernel || Fix VDSO remapping on non-x86 architectures || medium || Laurent Dufour, cov || However some architectures like PowerPC and ARM are keeping a reference to the VDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the VDSO sigreturn service. So once the VDSO has been moved, this reference is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable. − |- − | tests/infrastructure || Run tests on patches sent to the mailing lists || medium || Ruslan Kuprieiev || It's quite typical that a set sent to the mailing list fails some tests. Need a robot that would monitor the list, check the patches and send the result back.

| crtools || [[Integration]] with other projects || hard || - || CRIU is not working great by itself. There's alway some specific about what user wants to dump. Integrating CRIU with other projects will make CRIU work at its best.

| crtools || Restore tasks into fresh new pid namespace || easy || Kuprieiev Ruslan || When we dumped processes, it can be hard to restore it back, if they didn't live in a pid namespace, due to PIDs conflict. It would be nice to have the ability to ask CRIU to create the pid namespace for those guys and restore them there. A thing to worry about is this new namespace's init task.

| crtools || Rollback tree state || medium || - || When we checkpointed process tree with -R option (let them run after checkpoint) we might want to return the tasks into checkpointed state on the same machine. Currently this can only be done by killing the processes and restoring them from scratch. If we could ask CRIU to restore the images ''into'' the ready processes that could speed things up, especially if carefully caring about [[memory changes tracking]].

| kernel || [[Seamless kernel upgrade]] || hard || xemul || Briefly — dump tasks (into memory), change the kernel w/ kexec, then restore tasks back. From the tasks and remote client perspective tasks has just stopped and then resumed on the newer kernel. Can be a good complement to the classic live-patching technology.

| crtools || Restore arbitrary process tree || hard || - || Need to restore any process tree, which could be created with help PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER and CLONE_PARENT. Processes can share other resources [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/clone2.2.html clone(2)]. Look at [https://github.com/xemul/criu/blob/master/test/zdtm/live/static/session02.c session02]. The task of resolving the given images into operations we might need to perform seem to be NP (not proven though).

| crtools || C/R [[X applications]] || hard || Ruslan Kuprieiev || Dump/restore of graphical applications (see about [[integration]]). In case of X app part of its state is stored into the X-server. Need the way to fetch this state during dump and put this state back into the server on restore. Requires fixing the X-server software too.

| crtools || More detailed RPC fail codes || easy || - || Currently only 3 typical errors are reported(see [https://github.com/xemul/criu/blob/master/include/cr-errno.h#L8 include/cr-errno.h]). Need to extend this set as currently it's hard to understand what has happened w/o analysing CRIU log files.

| tests || Run many/all tests in "container" || medium || - || Currently we run zdtm tests one-by-one. It would be nice to run the all in one pseudo-container and C/R them as one big subtree.

| tests || [[Fuzz testing|Trinity-like (fuzz) testing]] || hard || - || The existing suite is 99% functionality testing. Need more sophisticated testing -- take a process that has done a random set of actions, C/R one, check that all is OK. The latter is the most complicated thing.

| crtools || Set checkpoint tokens without recompiling || medium || - || Sometimes you need to call checkpoint in some particular point of the code. The way to do it now is to recompile app with criu_dump() call where needed. But it is quite a bummer to recompile, repackage and redistribute an app you want to c/r. It would be great if one could set a token in app source and then let criu find that point in running task and take a snapshot. The best way to do it might be in libcriu.
