I've reorganized the list into 5 categories based on the feedback I received. Now let's see what happens :-) In line with your expectations? -- Guillaume ---------------------------------------------------- Likely to be merged before feature freeze: o New VM with reverse mappings o Add Linux Security Module (LSM) o New MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) driver o Add support for CPU clock/voltage scaling o Add User-Mode Linux (UML) o Direct pagecache <-> BIO disk I/O o Fix device naming issues o Remove the 2TB block device limit ---------------------------------------------------- "The pressure is on! (TM)": (either gets merged before feature freeze or has to wait till 2.7) o Rewrite of the console layer o XFS (A journaling filesystem from SGI) o LVM (Logical Volume Manager) v2.0 o Zerocopy NFS o Asynchronous IO (aio) support o New kernel build system (kbuild 2.5) o Serial driver restructure o Replace initrd by initramfs o ext2/ext3 large directory support: HTree index ---------------------------------------------------- Can be merged after the feature freeze and before the 2.6 release: o Strict address space accounting o More complete NetBEUI stack o Add hardware sensors drivers o PCMCIA Zoom video support o Change all drivers to new driver model o UDF Write support for CD-R/RW (packet writing) o USB gadget support ---------------------------------------------------- Would be nice to have before feature freeze, but most likely 2.7: o Improved i2o (Intelligent Input/Ouput) layer o Read-Copy Update Mutual Exclusion o New IO scheduler o Per-mountpoint read-only, union-mounts, unionfs o EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) o Dynamic Probes o Page table sharing o ext2/ext3 online resize support o Better event logging for enterprise systems o UMSDOS (Unix under MS-DOS) Rewrite o Scalable Statistics Counter o Linux Kernel Crash Dumps o SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) o High resolution timers o Overhaul PCMCIA support o Reiserfs v4 o New lightweight library (klibc) o New mount API o Generic parameter/command line interface o Full compliance with IPv6 o Serial ATA support o Add support for NFS v4 ---------------------------------------------------- Definitely 2.7: o InfiniBand support o Add thrashing control o Remove all hardwired drivers from kernel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
