Chunwei Chen 9ba3c01923 Fix crgetgroups out-of-bound and misc cred fix
init_groups has 0 nblocks, therefore calling the current crgetgroups with
init_groups would result in out-of-bound access. We fix this by returning NULL
when nblocks is 0.

Cap crgetngroups to NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK, since crgetgroups will only return
blocks[0].

Also, remove all get_group_info. The cred already holds reference on the
group_info, and cred is not mutable. So there's no reason to hold extra
reference, if we hold cred.

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
