If a vnode is released asynchronously through areleasef(), it is possible for the user process to reuse the file descriptor before areleasef is called. When this happens, getf() will return a stale reference, any operations in the kernel on that file descriptor will fail (as it is closed) and the operations meant for that fd will never occur from userspace's perspective. We correct this by detecting this condition in getf(), doing a putf on the old file handle, updating the file descriptor and proceeding as if everything was fine. When the areleasef() is done, it will harmlessly decrement the reference counter on the Illumos file handle.

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
