Brian Behlendorf 53c7411919 Revert "Fix unlink/xattr deadlock"
This reverts commit b00131d43c which
is no longer needed due to e89260a1c8.

This change forces all xattr znodes to hold a reference on their
parent which ensures prune_icache() will never attempt to evict
both the parent and child concurrently.  This effectively prevents
the deadlock condition from ever occuring.

Therefore we can safely revert back to the upstream synchronous
cleanup code.  This is nice because it keeps our code base closer
to upstream and resolves the performance issues introduced by the
original deadlock fix.

README.markdown

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./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 ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
