The correct definition of MAXOFFSET_T under Solaris is in reality tied to the maximum size of a 'long long' type. With this in mind MAXOFFSET_T is now defined as LLONG_MAX which ensures the correct value is used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
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
