When TQ_SLEEP is used, taskq_dispatch() should always succeed even if the number of pending tasks is above tq->tq_maxalloc. This semantic is similar to KM_SLEEP in kmem allocations, which also always succeed. However, we cannot block forever otherwise there is a risk of deadlock. Therefore, we still allow the number of pending tasks to go above tq->tq_maxalloc with TQ_SLEEP, but we may sleep up to 1 second per task dispatch, thereby throttling the task dispatch rate. One of the existing splat tests was also augmented to test for this scenario. The test would fail with the previous implementation but now it succeeds.

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.
Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
