Get the link offset using the zfs_dnode_sa_lookup helper now.
Recently, the symbolic links we rely on in the boot loader have stopped
working.
Prior to OpenZFS commit e90badec11 ("Inherit the project ID for every
object type", Matt Turner, 2026-08-14), symbolic link information was
written at a fixed offset in the SA data. Since that commit, the
inherited PROJIDs mean that all pools with quota enabled have started
writing symbolic links with a new, non-fixed offset. Old symbolic links
remained unchanged, but new ones were written with a different
offset. At work, we have all these things: rewritten BEs, quotas, and a
dependence on symbolic links in our boot path.
This came in on 2026-08-24 OpenZFS merge (22649d4dba). This was 12
hours after stab week for August, so we didn't hit this until the
September stab week. Since the new kernel has to write links at the new
offset, the initial tests worked, but the second ones didn't.

DHCP initmd discovery used net_configure() to open and configure SNP,
then immediately closed the socket and released the protocol.
Selecting net0 as currdev subsequently required another exclusive
SNP attach, which may hang on some EDK II firmware.
Keep the configured socket available for ordinary network consumers
so NFS boot can reuse it. Add an explicit deconfiguration operation
and invoke it only when an initmd URL requires handing SNP back
to the firmware network stack.

Ability to override DHCP options with command-line arguments
was affected by intoduction of initmd support. Initmd discovery
configures the network before loader arguments
were parsed, so a dhcp.root-path override was unavailable
during the first network configuration. Move parsing
arguments earlier and apply dhcp.root-path even if DHCP response
does not contain option 17. This allows providing a dynamic NFS
root e.g. by chain loading loader.efi from iPXE.

When the OpenFirmware loader flattens the firmware device tree into the
FDT it hands to the kernel (usefdt=1, i.e. on every real-mode OF system
such as pSeries LPARs and QEMU pseries guests), add_node_to_fdt() clamps
every property value to 1024 bytes. Any larger property reaches the
kernel truncated.
On QEMU pseries the PCI host bridge's "interrupt-map" is 3584 bytes
(32 slots x 4 pins x 7 cells), so only the entries for slots 0-8 survive
and the entry for slot 9 is cut in the middle. A PCI device in slot 9
or above therefore gets no INTx routing (irq 0), and with INVARIANTS the
partial trailing entry trips the "ofw_bus_search_intrmap: truncated map"
assertion in ofw_bus_search_intrmap() during PCI attach, panicking the
kernel as soon as such a device is present. "ibm,drc-indexes",
"ibm,drc-names" and "ibm,drc-power-domains" are cut the same way.
Drop the clamp. fdt_setprop() already reports a property that does not
fit into the FDT buffer, so no separate limit is needed.

BSDRP images are built with "poudriere image -t firmware", which puts
gptboot.efi on the ESP instead of loader.efi. gptboot.efi reads the GPT
bootme attribute, picks the active system partition (BSDRP1 or BSDRP2),
chainloads /boot/loader.efi from it and hands loader.efi that partition
in LoadedImage->DeviceHandle (stand/efi/boot1/boot1.c:try_boot).
Since ce9bfd7816 ("loader.efi: Refactor try_boot_device_partitions"),
find_currdev() no longer tries that device: try_boot_device_partitions()
walks the parent disk while explicitly skipping dp->pd_handle, on the
assumption that the boot image always comes from an ESP holding no root
filesystem. When chainloaded, the partition gptboot.efi selected is
therefore the one partition never considered, and loader.efi falls
through to the first other UFS partition on the disk - the previous
system. Every A/B upgrade silently boots the old slice.
Commit 1c85c5eea0, which introduced try_boot_device_partitions(), did
try dp itself before its siblings; the refactor dropped it. Restore it,
keeping the sibling walk as the fallback for the normal ESP case.

The only possible time we could download the initmd that the dhcp server
told us about is if we're netbooting. So only attempt to do that if the

Until now, the "http" device only worked when firmware itself booted
loader.efi via EFI HTTP Boot: efihttp_dev_init() required a URI node on
the loader's own boot device path, and every fetch went to that same
server. Add a second form, using the parse_uri() helper from libsa/dev.c,
that works anywhere: http[N]://host[:port]/path (N is a network interface
unit, defaulting to 0). This lets a devspec like this be used as rootdev,
in loader.conf, or interactively, independent of how loader.efi itself
was booted.
Network configuration is shared, loader-wide state (the myip/netmask/
gateip/nameip globals from net.h): if something has already configured
them (e.g. tftp/nfs via net_open()), the http device just reuses those
values, applying them to EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL as a static address. If
nothing has, it drives IP4Config2's own DHCP directly instead of calling
netdev's net_open(): net_open() opens the NIC's SNP
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_EXCLUSIVE, which would disconnect the Mnp/Ip4/.../
HttpDxe driver chain this code depends on. That chain is also commonly
disconnected already by whatever chained us here (e.g. iPXE excludes and
exclusively opens SNP for its own raw I/O), so reconnect it explicitly
with ConnectController() before giving up.
The legacy EFI HTTP Boot path is untouched.

Some UEFI firmwares do not contain the RamDisk protocol. When this
happens, load the file into a md disk instead. This is less desireable
than the RamDisk (since that allows better chain-booting options), but
sufficient to boot an image as a md device for FreeBSD. While most
severs have the RamDisk protocol enabled in their builds, I have two
IoT class boards from different manufacturers that do not. Since it
works just fine with this fallback, that's preferable.

The loader's ZFS implementation never set st_dev or st_ino in
zfs_dnode_stat(). With an uninitialized struct stat, veriexec's device
comparison in lib/libsecureboot/veopen.c read stack garbage and skipped
the matching manifest entry, failing with a spurious "no entry" on ZFS
root under UEFI Secure Boot.
Rather than zeroing the device (which would break veriexec's ability to
tell apart the same path on different datasets), populate st_dev and
st_ino with the same intrinsic identifiers the kernel uses:
- st_dev = the dataset's ds_fsid_guid (as the kernel does via
dmu_objset_fsid_guid()/dsl_dataset_fsid_guid()), already read in
zfs_mount_dataset() and now propagated through struct zfsmount.
- st_ino = the object number resolved in zfs_lookup(), propagated
through struct file (the loader's equivalent of the kernel's z_id).
dev_t and ino_t are 64-bit on FreeBSD, so both are assigned directly
with no hashing. A memset() at the top of zfs_dnode_stat() zeroes the
remaining fields so they no longer hold stack garbage.
Tested on 16.0-CURRENT (amd64), ZFS-on-GELI root: rebuilt and re-signed
the EFI loader; the system boots under UEFI Secure Boot with
mac_veriexec active.
