Turbo Fredriksson e3020723dc Linux 3.16 compat: smp_mb__after_clear_bit()
The smp_mb__{before,after}_clear_bit functions have been renamed
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic.  Rather than adding a compatibility
function to handle this the code has been updated to use smp_wmb().

This has the advantage of being a stable functionally equivalent
interface.  On many architectures smp_mb__after_clear_bit() expands
to smp_wmb().  Others might be able to do something slightly more
efficient but this will be safe and correct on all of them.

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
