Richard Yao 0f37d0c8be Linux 3.11 compat: fops->iterate()
Commit torvalds/linux@2233f31aad
replaced ->readdir() with ->iterate() in struct file_operations.
All filesystems must now use the new ->iterate method.

To handle this the code was reworked to use the new ->iterate
interface.  Care was taken to keep the majority of changes
confined to the ZPL layer which is already Linux specific.
However, minor changes were required to the common zfs_readdir()
function.

Compatibility with older kernels was accomplished by adding
versions of the trivial dir_emit* helper functions.  Also the
various *_readdir() functions were reworked in to wrappers
which create a dir_context structure to pass to the new
*_iterate() functions.

Unfortunately, the new dir_emit* functions prevent us from
passing a private pointer to the filldir function.  The xattr
directory code leveraged this ability through zfs_readdir()
to generate the list of xattr names.  Since we can no longer
use zfs_readdir() a simplified zpl_xattr_readdir() function
was added to perform the same task.

Native ZFS for Linux!

ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.

ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.

Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
