In the linux-2.6.36 kernel the fs_struct lock was changed from a rwlock_t to a spinlock_t. If the kernel would export the set_fs_pwd() symbol by default this would not have caused us any issues, but they don't. So we're forced to add a new autoconf check which sets the HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK define when a spinlock_t is used. We can then correctly use either spin_lock or write_lock in our custom set_fs_pwd() implementation. |

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
