This code has gotten something stale and no longer builds cleanly against modern kernels. The two issues addressed here are as follows: * The hlist_*_rcu interfaces in the kernel have been relatively unstable. Since this isn't performance critical code just use the long standing hlist_* variants. * In older kernels the hash_ptr() function takes a 'void *' but in newer kernels it expects a 'const void *'. To silence the compiler warnings about this explicitly cast it to a 'void *'. The memset function is a similar case but it always expects a 'void *'.

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
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
