Brian Behlendorf 053678f3b0 Handle errors from spl_kern_path_locked()
When the Linux 3.6 KERN_PATH_LOCKED compatibility code was added
by commit bcb1589 an entirely new vn_remove() implementation was
added.  That function did not properly handle an error from
spl_kern_path_locked() which would result in an panic.  This
patch addresses the issue by returning the error to the caller.

README.markdown

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 dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
