Is it OK if I commit this alphabetical sorting?

[diff of feature-sorting]


This patch looks good because it's a nop and just tidies things up a bit.

Reviewed by: imp

Will do later.

If my understanding is correct that the read-only compatible parts
(according to the zpool-features man page) are safe to add to the zfs
boot, here is what I have only build-tested (relative to the above
alphabetical sorting):

Anyone able to test some of those or confirms my understanding is
correct and would sign-off on a "reviewed by" level?


I'm inclined to strongly NAK this patch, absent some way to test it.
There's no issues today with any of them being absent causing
problems on boot that have been reported. The ZFS that's in the
boot loader is a reduced copy of what's in base and not everything is
supported. There's no urgency here to rush into this. The ones that
are on the list already are for things that we know we support in the
boot loader because we've gone to the trouble to put blake3 or sha512
into it (note: Not all boot loaders will support all ZFS features in the
future... x86 BIOS booting likely is going to have to be frozen at its
current ZFS feature set due to code size issues).

While most of these options look OK on the surface, I'd feel a lot better
if there were tests for these to prove they work. I'd also feel better if
the ZFS experts could explain how those come to be set on a zpool
as well. I'd settle for a good script that could be run as root (better
would be not as root) that would take a filesystem that was created
by makefs -t zfs and turn on these features after an zpool upgrade.
I have the vague outlines of a test suite for the boot loader that I
could see about integrating something like that into, but most of my
time these days is chasing after 'the last bug' in some kboot stuff I'm
working on (which includes issues with our ZFS in the boot loader
integration).

So not a hard no, but I plea for additional scripts to create images
that can be tested.

I didn't want to commit untested or unverified stuff. I fully agree with your reasoning.

Bye,
Alexander.
