The wait_lock member of the rw_semaphore struct became a raw_spinlock_t in Linux 3.2 at torvalds/linux@ddb6c9b58a. Wrap spin_lock_* function calls in a new spl_rwsem_* interface to ensure type safety if raw_spinlock_t becomes architecture specific, and to satisfy these compiler warnings: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘spinlock_check’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] note: expected ‘struct spinlock_t *’ but argument is of type ‘struct raw_spinlock_t *’ Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes: #76 Closes: zfsonlinux/zfs#463
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
