When running a kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y, lockdep reports possible recursive locking in some cases and possible circular locking dependency in others, within the SPL and ZFS modules. When lockdep detects these conditions, it disables further lock analysis for all locks. This causes /proc/lock_stats not to reflect full information about lock contention, even in locks without dependency issues. This commit creates a new type of mutex, MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP. This mutex type causes subsequent attempts to take or release those locks to be wrapped in lockdep_off() and lockdep_on(). This commit also creates an RW_NOLOCKDEP type analagous to MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP. MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP and RW_NOLOCKDEP are also defined in zfs, in a commit to that repo, for userspace builds.

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 do not want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially released tarball you will need to generate the configure script. This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing the GNU autotools for your distribution.
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-...
The SPL comes with an automated test suite called SPLAT. The test suite is implemented in two parts. There is a kernel module which contains the tests and a user space utility which controls which tests are run. To run the full test suite:
$ sudo insmod ./module/splat/splat.ko
$ sudo ./cmd/splat --all
Full documentation for building, configuring, testing, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
