In the comments of commit 723aa3b0c2eed070f7eeadd2ce2d87f46da6d0f8, mmatuska reported that the test for invalidate_inodes_check() is broken if invalidate_inodes() takes two arguments. This patch fixes the issue by resorting to another approach for detecting invalidate_inodes_check(): is simply checks if invalidate_inodes is defined as a macro. If it is, then it concludes that invalidate_inodes_check() is available. This will continue to work even if the prototype of invalidate_inodes_check() changes over time. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #148
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
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-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
