This series adds dm-verity support to U-Boot's FIT image infrastructure.
It is the first logical subset of the larger OpenWrt boot method series
posted as an RFC in February 2026 [1], extracted here for independent
review and merging.
OpenWrt's firmware model embeds a read-only squashfs or erofs root
filesystem directly inside a uImage.FIT container as a FILESYSTEM-type
loadable FIT image. At boot the kernel maps this sub-image directly from
the underlying block device via the fitblk driver (/dev/fit0, /dev/fit1,
...), the goal is that the bootloader never even copies it to RAM.
dm-verity enables the kernel to verify the integrity of those mapped
filesystems at read time, with a Merkle hash tree stored contiguously in
the same sub-image just after the data. Two kernel command-line
parameters are required:
dm-mod.create= -- the device-mapper target table for the verity device
dm-mod.waitfor= -- a comma-separated list of block devices to wait for
before dm-init sets up the targets (needed when fitblk
probes late, e.g. because it depends on NVMEM
calibration data)
The FIT dm-verity node schema was upstreamed into the flat-image-tree
specification [2], which this implementation tries to follow exactly.
The runtime feature is guarded behind CONFIG_FIT_VERITY. If not
enabled the resulting binary size remains unchanged. If enabled the
binary size increases by about 3kB.

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot. To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with #define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS Steps to test: 1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen in the boot loader prompt using UBOOT #help zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system zfsls - list files in a directory (default /) 2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file] For example: UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/ 3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes] For example: UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage References : -- ZFS GRUB sources from Solaris GRUB-0.97 -- GRUB Bazaar repository Jorgen Lundman <lundman at lundman.net> 2012.
