This includes the following changes:
3326. [func] Added task list statistics: task model, worker
threads, quantum, tasks running, tasks ready.
[RT #27678]
3325. [func] Report cache statistics: memory use, number of
nodes, number of hash buckets, hit and miss counts.
[RT #27056]
3324. [test] Add better tests for ADB stats [RT #27057]
3323. [func] Report the number of buckets the resolver is using.
[RT #27020]
3322. [func] Monitor the number of active TCP and UDP dispatches.
[RT #27055]
3321. [func] Monitor the number of recursive fetches and the
number of open sockets, and report these values in
the statistics channel. [RT #27054]
3320. [func] Added support for monitoring of recursing client
count. [RT #27009]
3319. [func] Added support for monitoring of ADB entry count and
hash size. [RT #27057]
3316. [tuning] Improved locking performance when recursing.
[RT #28836]
- Use one lock per memory pool instead of associating
them all with a single 'pool_lock' in the dispatch manager.
- Reduce the critical sections for qid->lock in get_dispsocket(),
deref_portentry() and dns_dispatch_addresponse2().
- Added a memory pool for socket events in dns_dispatch_t.
- Add an isc_socketevent_t member in the resquery_t object, and use
it with isc_socket_sendto2() instead of using isc_socket_sendto()
- Tuned the memory pools in dispatch.c for better performance
under load
to 10. Allow setting this in named.conf using the new
'resolver-query-timeout' option, which specifies a max
time in seconds. 0 means 'default' and anything longer
than 30 will be silently set to 30. [RT #22852]

2988. [experimental] Added a "dlopen" DLZ driver, allowing the creation
of external DLZ drivers that can be loaded as
shared objects at runtime rather than linked with
named. Currently this is switched on via a
compile-time option, "configure --with-dlz-dlopen".
Note: the syntax for configuring DLZ zones
is likely to be refined in future releases.

2987. [func] Improve ease of configuring TKEY/GSS updates by
adding a "tkey-gssapi-keytab" option. If set,
updates will be allowed with any key matching
a principal in the specified keytab file.
"tkey-gssapi-credential" is no longer required
and is expected to be deprecated. (Contributed

[RT #22629]
memory conditions. Without this fix a DNS cache DB or
ADB could incorrectly stay in an over memory state,
effectively refusing further caching, which
subsequently made a BIND 9 caching server unworkable.
This fix prevents this problem from happening by
polling the state of the memory context, rather than
making a copy of the state, which appeared to cause
a race. This is a "workaround" in that it doesn't
solve the possible race per se, but several experiments
proved this change solves the symptom. Also, the
polling overhead hasn't been reported to be an issue.
This bug should only affect a caching server that
specifies a finite max-cache-size. It's also quite
likely that the bug happens only when enabling threads,
but it's not confirmed yet. [RT #21818]
