Before kernel 2.6.29 credentials were embedded in task_structs, and zfs had
cases where one thread would need to refer to the credential of another thread,
forcing it to take a hold on the foreign thread's task_struct to ensure it was
not freed.
Since 2.6.29, the credential has been moved out of the task_struct into a
cred_t.
In addition, the mainline kernel originally did not export __put_task_struct()
but the RHEL5 kernel did, according to zfsonlinux/spl@e811949a57. As of
2.6.39 the mainline kernel exports it.
There is no longer zfs code that takes or releases holds on a task_struct, and
so there is no longer any reference to __put_task_struct().
This affects the linux 4.11 kernel because the prototype for
__put_task_struct() is in a new include file (linux/sched/task.h) and so the
config check failed to detect the exported symbol.
Removing the unnecessary stub and corresponding config check. This works on
kernels since the oldest one currently supported, 2.6.32 as shipped with
Centos/RHEL.

There are changes to vfs_getattr() in torvalds/linux@a528d35. The new
interface is:
int vfs_getattr(const struct path *path, struct kstat *stat,
u32 request_mask, unsigned int query_flags)
The request_mask argument indicates which field(s) the caller intends to
use. Fields the caller does not specify via request_mask may be set in
the returned struct anyway, but their values may be approximate.
The query_flags argument indicates whether the filesystem must update
the attributes from the backing store.
This patch uses the query_flags which result in vfs_getattr behaving the same
as it did with the 2-argument version which the kernel provided before
Linux 4.11.
Members blksize and blocks are now always the same size regardless of
arch. They match the size of the equivalent members in vnode_t.
The configure checks are modified to ensure that the appropriate
vfs_getattr() interface is used.
A more complete fix, removing the ZFS dependency on vfs_getattr()
entirely, is deferred as it is a much larger project.

This patch we implement a proper rw_tryupgrade. For rwsem-spinlock, we take

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure

To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.
The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes). The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.
Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details. For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored. It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.
Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired. It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

Platforms such as Illumos and FreeBSD have historically provided
global variables which summerize the memory state of a system.
Linux on the otherhand doesn't expose any of this information
to kernel modules and uses entirely different mechanisms for
memory management.
In order to simplify the original ZFS port to Linux these global
variables were emulated by the SPL for the benefit of ZFS. As ZoL
has matured over the years it has moved steadily away from these
interfaces and now no longer depends on them at all.
Therefore, this patch completely removes the global variables
availrmem, minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree, swapfs_minfree,
and swapfs_reserve. This greatly simplifies the memory management
code and eliminates a common area of confusion.

The get_vmalloc_info() function was used to back the vmem_size()
function. This was always problematic and resulted in brittle
code because the kernel never provided a clean interface for
modules.
However, it turns out that the only caller of this function in
ZFS uses it to determine the total virtual address space size.
This can be determined easily without get_vmalloc_info() so
vmem_size() has been updated to take this approach which allows
us to shed the get_vmalloc_info() dependency.
