It is found that some assertion was in the tapdisk2 source, if anyone failed, the tapdisk2 process will exit, 
They are very dangerous...
How can the kernel handle this if the tapdisk2 process exit?

Semi-yes. Not entirely sure about the list_empty userland crasher, but
the kernel stuff was upstreamed with some minor exposed while unmapping
pending I/O.

Which I didn't care yet to send patches for...

... Soon, real soon now...
