The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
|
|||
|
|
many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
|
|||
|
|
run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
|
|||
|
|
modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track
|
|||
|
|
upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of
|
|||
|
|
maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
|
|||
|
|
primitives.
|
|||

Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be
