In zfs, each module Makefile contains a MODULE variable which contains the name of the module, and the following declarations reference this variable. In spl, there is a MODULES variable which is never used. Rename it to MODULE and use it like in zfs. This improves consistency between the two build systems.

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
