Must Resolve Issues for 5.2-RELEASE

+ + + + + + +
IssueStatusResponsibleDescription
Production-quality M:N threading In progress &a.julian;, &a.davidxu;, &a.deischen; KSE M:N threading support is reaching experimental yet usable status on i386 for 5.1-RELEASE. M:N threading should be productionable and usable on all platforms by 5.2-RELEASE.
16-bit CDB addressing for CAM In progress &a.ken; CAM currently supports only 12-bit CDBs, placing a 2TB bound on addressable disk storage using CAM. With support for large file systems with UFS2, and large partitions using GPT, CAM now needs to be updated to support these devices.
FAST_IPSEC and KAME compatibility -- -- FAST_IPSEC currently cannot be used directly with the KAME IPv6 implementation, requiring an additional level of IP tunnel indirection to protect IPv6 packets when using hardware crypto acceleration. This issue must be resolved so that the two services may more easily be used together. Among other things, this will require a careful review of the handling of mbuf header copying and m_tag support in the KAME IPv6 code.
KAME Synchronization -- -- The FreeBSD KAME IPv6 code is now substantially dated with respect to the KAME vendor source. The FreeBSD Project needs to take initiative in driving the merge of new bug fixes, features, et al.
truss support for ptrace -- -- Almost all process debugging tools have been updated to use non-procfs kernel primitives, with the exception of truss(1). As procfs is considered deprecated due to its inherrent security risks, it is highly desirable to update truss to operate in a post-procfs world. &a.des; had "work in progress" patches that will need to be completed and committed.
Merge of Darwin msdosfs, other fixes -- -- Apple's Darwin operating system has fairly extensive improvements to msdosfs and other kernel services; these fixes must be reviewed and merged to the FreeBSD tree.
Machine-independent console supportIn progress&a.jake;Simple machine-independent console framework, based roughly + on wscons from NetBSD, which will provide better console support + across architectures. Also, device drivers for peripherals + relevant to UltraSPARC.

Desired Features for 5.2-RELEASE

IssueStatusResponsibleDescription
MAC support for NFS Server -- &a.rwatson; Currently, MAC protections are enforced only on locally originated file system operations (VOPs), and not on RPCs generated via the NFS server. Improvements in NFS server credential handling are required to correct this problem, as well as the introduction of new entry points to properly label NFS credentials and perform enforcement properly.
