Prior to Linux 2.6.39 when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES was defined the kernel stored a thread_info pointer as the mutex owner. From this you could get the pointer of the current task_struct to compare with get_current(). As of Linux 2.6.39 this behavior has changed and now the mutex stores a pointer to the task_struct. This commit detects the type of pointer stored in the mutex and adjusts the mutex_owner() and mutex_owned() functions to perform the correct comparision.
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 don’t 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
