Richard Yao 2a305c34c8 Linux 3.9 compat: vfs_getattr takes two arguments
The function prototype of vfs_getattr previoulsy took struct vfsmount *
and struct dentry * as arguments. These would always be defined together
in a struct path *.

torvalds/linux@3dadecce20 modified
vfs_getattr to take struct path * is taken as an argument instead.

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

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
