Brian Behlendorf 2371321e8a Fix invalid context bug
In the module unload path the vm_file_cache was being destroyed
under a spin lock.  Because this operation might sleep it was
possible, although very very unlikely, that this could result
in a deadlock.

This issue was indentified by using a Linux debug kernel and
has been fixed by moving the kmem_cache_destroy() out from under
the spin lock.  There is no need to lock this operation here.

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 dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

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