When loader(8) is built with zfs support enabled, it assumes that any extarg data present is a zfs_boot_args struct, but if the first-stage loader was gptboot(8) the extarg data is actually a geli_boot_args struct. Luckily, zfsboot(8) and gptzfsboot(8) have always passed KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS along with KARGS_FLAGS_EXTARG, so we can use KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS to decide whether the extarg data is a zfs_boot_args struct. To avoid similar problems in the future, gptboot(8) now passes a new KARGS_FLAGS_GELI to indicate that extarg data is geli_boot_args. In loader(8), if the neither KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS nor KARGS_FLAGS_GELI is set but extarg data is present (which will be the case for gptboot compiled before this change), we now check for the known size of the geli_boot_args struct passed by the older versions of gptboot as a way of confirming what type of extarg data is present. In a semi-related tidying up, since loader's main() has already decided what type of extarg data is present and set the global 'zargs' var accordingly, don't repeat the check in extract_currdev, just check whether zargs is NULL or not. X-MFC after: a few days, along with prior related changes.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
