Before kernel 2.6.29 credentials were embedded in task_structs, and zfs had cases where one thread would need to refer to the credential of another thread, forcing it to take a hold on the foreign thread's task_struct to ensure it was not freed. Since 2.6.29, the credential has been moved out of the task_struct into a cred_t. In addition, the mainline kernel originally did not export __put_task_struct() but the RHEL5 kernel did, according to zfsonlinux/spl@e811949a57. As of 2.6.39 the mainline kernel exports it. There is no longer zfs code that takes or releases holds on a task_struct, and so there is no longer any reference to __put_task_struct(). This affects the linux 4.11 kernel because the prototype for __put_task_struct() is in a new include file (linux/sched/task.h) and so the config check failed to detect the exported symbol. Removing the unnecessary stub and corresponding config check. This works on kernels since the oldest one currently supported, 2.6.32 as shipped with Centos/RHEL.

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
