Must Resolve Issues for 5.2-RELEASE

IssueStatusResponsibleDescription
Production-quality M:N threadingIn 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 CAMIn 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.

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.
