When taskq_dispatch() calls taskq_thread_spawn() to create a new thread for a taskq, linux lockdep warns of possible recursive locking. This is a false positive. One such call chain is as follows, when a taskq needs more threads: taskq_dispatch->taskq_thread_spawn->taskq_dispatch The initial taskq_dispatch() holds tq_lock on the taskq that needed more worker threads. The later call into taskq_dispatch() takes dynamic_taskq->tq_lock. Without subclassing, lockdep believes these could potentially be the same lock and complains. A similar case occurs when taskq_dispatch() then calls task_alloc(). This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave_nested() when taking tq_lock, with one of two new lock subclasses: subclass taskq TQ_LOCK_DYNAMIC dynamic_taskq TQ_LOCK_GENERAL any other Signed-off-by: Olaf Faaland <faaland1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue #480 |

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
