Description

Nexenta has noticed that sometimes the iSCSI target will occasionally drop connections to some clients. Protocol analysis indicates excessively long deferrals in iSCSI PDU handling.

Investigation shows that taskq_dispatch() is implicated (again) by way of the kmem backing allocations. In particular, this code can wind up sleeping waiting for resources to become available.

Using the new style taskq_dispatch_ent() has been shown to resolve this problem in NexentaStor, using the same basic code.

Kudos to Albert Lee for the original patch, which I've cleaned up somewhat.
