Under Illumos taskq_wait() returns when there are no more tasks in the queue. This behavior differs from ZoL and FreeBSD where taskq_wait() returns when all the tasks in the queue at the beginning of the taskq_wait() call are complete. New tasks added whilst taskq_wait() is running will be ignored. This difference in semantics makes it possible that new subtle issues could be introduced when porting changes from Illumos. To avoid that possibility the taskq_wait() function is being updated such that it blocks until the queue in empty. The previous behavior remains available through the taskq_wait_outstanding() interface. Note that this function was previously called taskq_wait_all() but has been renamed to avoid confusion.

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
