The resolution of issue #31 made KM_PUSHPAGE imply GFP_NOFS. This was done to prevent situations where filesystem operations which are holding locks enter direct reclaim and attempt to reaquire those same locks. This clearly will result in a deadlock. This works for datasets which are implemented in terms for filesystem operations. But unfortunately, swapping to a zvol will encounter many of the same deadlocks and GFP_NOFS will not prevent this. As such, it is appropriate to extend KM_PUSHPAGE to use the broader GFP_NOIO mask to handle these non-filesystem cases.

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
