I have now completed boot support for ZFS features.
Please review and comment my patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/features/head-zfs-features.patch
Boot-only patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/features/head-zfs-features-boot.patch
I have also an alternate boot patch that adds functions like
nvlist_name(), nvlist_value(), but the previous one has a smaller footprint:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/features/head-zfs-features-boot.fc.patch
The boot code can be tested with the "zhack" tool, e.g. with:
zhack feature add tank org.freebsd:test
zhack feature ref -m tank org.freebsd:test
Now you are unable to boot.
zhack feature ref -d tank org.freebsd:test
Now you are able to boot.
If there are no quick objections, I will commit this to -HEAD with a
1-month MFC.
Cheers,
mm
