Initially when zfsdev_ioctl() was ported to Linux we didn't have any credential support implemented. So at the time we simply passed NULL which wasn't much of a problem since most of the secpolicy code was disabled. However, one exception is quota handling which does require the credential. Now that proper credentials are supported we can safely start passing the callers credential. This is also an initial step towards fully implemented the zfs secpolicy.
Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
