The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.
I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.
Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.
Improvements include:
project quotas, encrypted datasets,
allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
vectorized checksums, various command line
improvements, zstd compression.
Thanks to those who have helped along the way:
Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many
others.

If there are no damaged pools, then ignore all GEOM events. We only use
them to fix damaged pools. However, still pay attention to ZFS events.

cddl/usr.sbin/zfsd/zfsd_event.cc
Remove the check for da and ada devices. This way zfsd can work on md,
geli, glabel, gstripe, etc devices. geli in particular is useful
combined with ZFS. gnop is also useful for simulating drive pulls in
the ZFSD test suite.
Also, eliminate the DevfsEvent class entirely. Move its
responsibilities into GeomEvent. We can get everything we need to know
just from listening to GEOM events.
lib/libdevdctl/event.cc
Fix GeomEvent::DevName for CREATE events. Oddly, the relevant field is
named "cdev" for CREATE events but "devname" for disk events.

When inserting a partitioned disk, devfs and geom will announce the whole
disk before they announce the partition. If the partition containing ZFS
extends to one of the disk's extents, then zfsd will see a ZFS label on the
whole disk and attempt to online it. ZFS is smart enough to activate the
partition instead of the whole disk, but only if GEOM has already created
the partition's provider.
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libzfs/common/libzfs.h
cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libzfs/common/libzfs_import.c
Add a zpool_read_all_labels method. It's similar to
zpool_read_label, but it will return the number of labels found.
cddl/usr.sbin/zfsd/zfsd_event.cc
When processing a DevFS CREATE event, only online a VDEV if we can
read all four ZFS labels.

Add zfsd, which deals with hard drive faults in ZFS pools. It manages
hotspares and replements in drive slots that publish physical paths.
cddl/usr.sbin/zfsd
Add zfsd(8) and its unit tests
cddl/usr.sbin/Makefile
Add zfsd to the build
lib/libdevdctl
A C++ library that helps devd clients process events
lib/Makefile
share/mk/bsd.libnames.mk
share/mk/src.libnames.mk
Add libdevdctl to the build. It's a private library, unusable by
out-of-tree software.
etc/defaults/rc.conf
By default, set zfsd_enable to NO
etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist
Add a directory for libdevdctl's include files
etc/mtree/BSD.tests.dist
Add a directory for zfsd's unit tests
etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist
Add /var/db/zfsd/cases, where zfsd stores case files while it's shut
down.
etc/rc.d/Makefile
etc/rc.d/zfsd
Add zfsd's rc script
sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/vdev.c
Fix the resource.fs.zfs.statechange message. It had a number of
problems:
It was only being emitted on a transition to the HEALTHY state.
That made it impossible for zfsd to take actions based on drives
getting sicker.
It compared the new state to vdev_prevstate, which is the state that
the vdev had the last time it was opened. That doesn't make sense,
because a vdev can change state multiple times without being
reopened.
vdev_set_state contains logic that will change the device's new
state based on various conditions. However, the statechange event
was being posted _before_ that logic took effect. Now it's being
posted after.
