I already have this flag and my code mostly work like this, so that would be trivial to do. I looked at the code, and you are right, killing the tasklet within itself is by far the safest way to do it. It's a shame that the code doesn't explitely allow for it (i.e. you will deadlock every time in tasklet_unlock_wait(t);).
Thanks, and have fun...
