The Linux shrinker has gone through three API changes since 2.6.22. Rather than force every caller to understand all three APIs this change consolidates the compatibility code in to the mm-compat.h header. The caller then can then use a single spl provided shrinker API which does the right thing for your kernel. SPL_SHRINKER_CALLBACK_PROTO(shrinker_callback, cb, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask); SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(shrinker_struct, shrinker_callback, seeks); spl_register_shrinker(&shrinker_struct); spl_unregister_shrinker(&&shrinker_struct); spl_exec_shrinker(&shrinker_struct, nr_to_scan, gfp_mask); |

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