torvalds/linux@182be68478 removed the preprocessor definition for f_vfsmnt. The ability to access the mountpoint via ->f_path.mnt has been stable for a long time, so we switch to that. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@cs.stonybrook.edu> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>
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
