A preallocated taskq_ent_t's tqent_flags must be checked prior to servicing the taskq_ent_t. Once a preallocated taskq entry is serviced, the ownership of the entry is handed back to the caller of taskq_dispatch, thus the entry's contents can potentially be mangled. In particular, this is a problem in the case where a preallocated taskq entry is serviced, and the caller clears it's tqent_flags field. Thus, when the function returns and task_done is called, it looks as though the entry is **not** a preallocated task (when in fact it **is** a preallocated task). In this situation, task_done will place the preallocated taskq_ent_t structure onto the taskq_t's free list. This is a **huge** mistake. If the taskq_ent_t is then freed by the caller of taskq_dispatch, the taskq_t's free list will hold a pointer to garbage data. Even worse, if nothing has over written the freed memory before the pointer is dereferenced, it may still look as though it points to a valid list_head belonging to a taskq_ent_t structure. Thus, the task entry's flags are now copied prior to servicing the task. This copy is then checked to see if it is a preallocated task, and determine if the entry needs to be passed down to the task_done function.

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
