In-flight issues for FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE

We're experimenting with using this wiki page to help track issues leading up to FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE. The hope is that it will work better and be more transparent than the previous "release engineering lead's inbox" method.

Before BETA3:

* Kernel handling of userland mutexes (olce)

* in6_addr field visibility (karels)

* non-UFS vm-images aren't being published (cperciva)

* release build breakage with vm and cloudware both building qemu (cperciva)

* breakage on RPi 4 (karels)

* allow I/O APIC ID 255 (emaste)

* fix to expand.1 man page (des)

* need to add save-entropy.8 man page (mhorne)

* newfs should turn on softupdates by default on UFS2 (mckusick)

Before RC1:

* crash with if_ioctl == NULL (kp)

* Fix for LLVM CPUTYPE=native (dim)

* ATF-C assertion macros evaluate arguments multiple times (des)

* ldns parses comments incorrectly (des)

* ifconfig "-f cidr" support (des)

* gcc build on riscv64 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272759 (fuz, brooks)

* Compile fixes with NOINET (imp)

* Man page fixes (imp)

* LUA compiler set typo fix in boot loader (imp)

* ZFS panic caused by makefs being weird: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278414 (mav)

* List of packages for DVDs needs to be updated (cperciva)

Confirmed resolved

The issue has been confirmed to be resolved in the latest BETA/RC build.

Won't fix

The issue won't be fixed in the release (it's too late and not critical enough to delay the release).

* build reproducibility of ipmon and libarchive on amd64/i386 cross (dim, emaste)

• Too complicated to track down before the release; we'll build the i386 release in an i386 chroot.

* ZFS memory leak / kernel panic on reboot or kldunload zfs (markj)

• Filesystems are too scary to try to fix this just before the release; will probably be an EN.
