- Vnode recycling/ZFS ARC reclaim: Reviewed a fix for bug #275594, liaised with upstream to obtain and test a backport, had an EN issued and applied as 13.3-RELEASE-p2, and started longer-term work to improve the vnode reclaiming mechanisms and have ZFS pass the right information
- ULE scheduler: Updated to work on a single runqueue instead of 3 for POSIX compliance concerning the number of distinct SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR priority levels
