The SPL_AC_ATOMIC_SPINLOCK, SPL_AC_TYPE_ATOMIC64_CMPXCHG, and SPL_AC_TYPE_ATOMIC64_XCHG were all directly including the 'asm/atomic.h' header. As of Linux 3.4 this header was removed which results in a build failure. The right thing to do is include 'linux/atomic.h' however we can't safely do this because it doesn't exist in 2.6.26 kernels. Therefore, we include 'linux/fs.h' which in turn includes the correct atomic header regardless of the kernel version. When these incorrect APIs are used in ZFS the following build failure results. arc.c:791:80: warning: '__ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] arc.c:791:1875: error: call to '__cmpxchg_wrong_size' declared with attribute error: Bad argument size for cmpxchg Since this is all Linux 2.6.24 compatibility code there's an argument to be made that it should be removed because kernels this old are not supported. However, because we're so close to a release I'm going to leave it in place for now. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes zfsonlinux/zfs#814 Closes zfsonlinux/zfs#1254 |

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
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-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
