There is no way to actually track the last %%<%%n> > frees anymore to figure out where the memory was freed (and hence possibly used after); DTrace would be a fantastic tool to just do that … if we'd get everything up-to until the panic out of the buffer. Obviously the other bit is to ensure the file streamed to is recoverable. Not sure what happened to a "network DTrace". ===== Documentation ===== ARM/ARM64 devices * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000553.html bhyve and ipfw * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000449.html iflib(4) network interface driver framework * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000553.html ===== File systems ===== Data sharing, without full population of the file system * the jail overlays the base file system via null mounts * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000459.html exFAT and F2FS native * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000553.html XFS native * GPL issues * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/544139 unionfs issues * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-December/000638.html ===== Graphics ===== AMD: GPU programming support / (ROCm) * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/544338 ARM: Panfrost/Lima support for Mali GPU * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/543657 CUDA framework support * https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/84926/ NVIDIA: nouveau * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000412.html * https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/83180/ | https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/543657 ===== Hardware ===== CPU/RAM hotplug support * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000408.html ECC memory status and reporting: support Ryzen and all other capable processors * akin to Error Detection And Correction (EDAC) in Linux * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000553.html NUMA support * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000565.html Odroid boards: better support * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/544870 ===== Networking ===== 802.11ac support (including AP) * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000397.html * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000398.html * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/543636 * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/545327 Better traffic shaper * replacement for dummynet / altq * Multiqueue NIC supported and multi-threaded traffic shaper * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000538.html Bluetooth * ease of use, a GUI for example * https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/24179/ (2011-06-01) * https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=970 (2018-01-03) * https://github.com/helloSystem/Utilities/issues/113 (2021-01-11) * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/547339 (2021-12-19) DHCPv6 client Dynamic routing * https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-November/000420.html HAST improvements * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/543634 IP Balancing From %%OpenBSD%%'s Carp * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/545795 ipfw: filter icmp not only on icmptype but also on icmpcode * https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/543634 libfetch: http/2 support * Some upstreams are requiring http/2, which breaks fetching for package building IEEE 802.1AE - MACsec support * Implementing IEEE 802.1AE - MAC security interface support.
