Provide the dnlc_reduce_cache() function which attempts to prune cached entries from the dcache and icache. After the entries are pruned any slabs which they may have been using are reaped. Note the API takes a reclaim percentage but we don't have easy access to the total number of cache entries to calculate the reclaim count. However, in practice this doesn't need to be exactly correct. We simply need to reclaim some useful fraction (but not all) of the cache. The caller can determine if more needs to be done.
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
