Brian Behlendorf ab59be7bc7 Fix delay()
Somewhat amazingly it went unnoticed that the delay() function
doesn't actually cause the task to block.  Since the task state
is never changed from TASK_RUNNING before schedule_timeout() the
scheduler allows to task to continue running without any delay.
Using schedule_timeout_interruptible() resolves the issue by
correctly setting TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

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
