Richard Yao b815ec32b3 Userspace can pass zero length segments via writev/readv
Userspace can trigger an assertion by passing a zero-length segment
when assertions are enabled:

The solution is to delete the assertion. This could potentially
occur in uiomove as well, which contains analogous assertions
that appear similarly unnecessary, so we remove those as well.

Native ZFS for Linux!

ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.

ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.

Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
