<para>The &man.bpf.4; packet filter and capture facility now
|

supports a zero-copy mode of operation, in which buffers are

loaned from a user process to the kernel. This feature can

be enabled by setting

the <varname>net.bpf.zerocopy_enable</varname> sysctl

variable to <literal>1</literal>.</para>
|
||||
<para>&man.carp.4; has been rewritten to make addresses
|
||||
more sane from the viewpoint of routing daemons such as
|
||||
quagga/zebra. It also brings support for a single redundant
|
||||
address on the subnet (carpdev), switching state with
|

ifconfig, better locking and using modern kernel

interfaces to allocate multicast memberships.</para>

<para>ISDN4BSD(I4B), <filename>netatm</filename>, and all

related subsystems have been removed due to lack of

multi-processor support.</para>
|

<para>The &man.pf.4; firewall now supports fine-grain locking
|
||||
and better utilization on multi-cpu machines resulting in
|

significant improvements in performance.</para>

<para role="merged">A bug in TCP options padding, where the wrong padding

bytes were used, has been fixed.</para>

<para>Support for up to 65536 routing tables has been

introduced.</para>

<para role="merged">The IEEE 802.11s element identifiers have
|

been updated to reflect the final version of the amendment. This
|

update breaks compatibility with older mesh setups but is necessary

as the previous IDs are used by another amendment leading to

unexpected results when trying to associate with an accesspoint

using the affected IDs.</para>

<para>A new kernel-mode NFS lock manager has been added,

improving performance and behavior of NFS locking. A new

&man.clear.locks.8; command has been added to clear locks held

on behalf of an NFS client.</para>

<para>UFS filesystems can now be enlarged with &man.growfs.8; while

mounted read-write. This is especially useful for virtual

machines, allowing the addition of more harddrive space without

interruption of service.</para>

base system. It allows the use of nearly all fusefs file

systems</para>

<para>Support for the high performance LZ4 compression algorithm
|

has been added to ZFS. LZ4 is usually faster and can achieve a

higher compression ratio than LZJB, the default compression

algorithm</para>

<para>Support for L2ARC compression has been added to ZFS.</para>
|

|

<para>ZFS will now compare the checksums of incoming writes to
|
||||
the checksum of the existing on-disk data and avoid issuing any
|
||||
write I/O for data that has not changed. This will reduce I/O
|
||||
as well as space usage because if the old block is referenced
|
||||
by a snapshot, both copies of the block are kept even though
|
||||
both contain the same data.</para>
