Gunnar Beutner 66cdc93b8c Remove the spinlocks for mutex_enter()/mutex_exit()
The m_owner variable is protected by the mutex itself. Reading the variable
is guaranteed to be atomic (due to it being a word-sized reference) and
ACCESS_ONCE() takes care of read cache effects.

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
