For kernels which do not implement a per-suberblock shrinker, those older than Linux 3.1, the shrink_dcache_parent() function was used to attempt to reclaim dentries. This was found not be entirely reliable and could lead to performance issues on older kernels running meta-data heavy workloads. To address this issue a zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function has been added to implement this functionality. It relies on traversing the list of znodes for a filesystem and adding them to a private list with a reference held. The private list can then be safely walked outside the z_znodes_lock to prune dentires and drop the last reference so the inode can be freed. This provides the same synchronous behavior as the per-filesystem shrinker and has the advantage of depending on only long standing interfaces.

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
