Brian Behlendorf 3e904f40b4 Mutex ASSERT on self deadlock
Generate an assertion if we're going to deadlock the system by
attempting to acquire a mutex the process is already holding.

There are currently no known instances of this under normal
operation, but it _might_ be possible when using a ZVOL as a
swap device.  I want to ensure we catch this immediately if it
were to occur.

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
