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.
