This implementation of rw_tryupgrade() behaves slightly differently from its counterparts on other platforms. It drops the RW_READER lock and then acquires the RW_WRITER lock leaving a small window where no lock is held. On other platforms the lock is never released during the upgrade process. This is necessary under Linux because the kernel does not provide an upgrade function. There are currently no callers in the ZFS code where this change in behavior is a problem. In fact, in most cases the code is already written such that if the upgrade fails the RW_READER lock is dropped and the caller blocks waiting to acquire the lock as RW_WRITER.

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
