Commit torvalds/linux@b8318b0 moved the __clear_close_on_exec() function out of include/linux/fdtable.h and in to fs/file.c making it unavailable to the SPL. Now as it turns out we only used this function to tear down some test infrastructure for the vn_getf()/vn_releasef() SPLAT regression tests. Rather than implement even more autoconf compatibilty code to handle this we just remove the test case. This also allows us to drop three existing autoconf tests. This does mean the SPLAT tests will no longer verify these functions but historically they have never been a problem. And if we feel we absolutely need this test coverage I'm sure a more portable version of the test case could be added. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #183 |

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.
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
