Gunnar Beutner 3160d4f56b Fix race condition in mutex_exit()
On kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES mutex_exit() clears the mutex
owner after releasing the mutex. This would cause mutex_owner()
to return an incorrect owner if another thread managed to lock the
mutex before mutex_exit() had a chance to clear the owner.

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
