When memory pressure triggers direct memory reclaim, a slabs age and delay should not prevent it from being freed. This patch ensures these values are ignored, allowing an empty slab to be freed in this code path no matter the value of its age and delay. This prevents needless scanning of the partial slabs and has been observed to significantly reduce the total cpu usage. In addition, it should allow for snappier reclaim under memory pressure.

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
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
