+Although tasklet is easy to use, it comes with several drawbacks, and developers have been discussing their removal from the Linux kernel.

The tasklet callback runs in atomic context, inside a software interrupt, meaning that it cannot sleep or access user-space data, so not all work can be done in a tasklet handler.
|
|
|
Also, the kernel only allows one instance of any given tasklet to be running at any given time; multiple different tasklet callbacks can run in parallel.
