Brian Behlendorf 3dfc591ac4 Linux 2.6.39 compat, zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
The function zlib_deflate_workspacesize() now take 2 arguments.
This was done to avoid always having to allocate the maximum size
workspace (268K).  The caller can now specific the windowBits and
memLevel compression parameters to get a smaller workspace.

For our purposes we introduce a spl_zlib_deflate_workspacesize()
wrapper which accepts both arguments.  When the two argument
version of zlib_deflate_workspacesize() is available the arguments
are passed through.  When it's not we assume the worst case and
a maximally sized workspace is used.

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

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