The preferred kernel interface for creating threads has been kthread_create() for a long time now. However, several of the SPLAT tests still use the legacy kernel_thread() function which has finally been dropped (mostly). Update the condvar and rwlock SPLAT tests to use the modern interface. Frankly this is something we should have done a long time ago. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #194
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
