Hmm. kthreads have PF_NOFREEZE by default, which is probably the reason.
Adding
current->flags |= PF_NOFREEZE;
to the vhost_task setup might just fix it, but it feels a bit off.
The way io_uring does this is to do
if (signal_pending(current)) {
struct ksignal ksig;
if (!get_signal(&ksig))
continue;
break;
}
in the main loop, which ends up handling the freezer situation too.
But it should handle things like SIGSTOP etc as well, and also exit on
actual signals.
I get the feeling that the whole "vhost_task_should_stop()" logic
should have the exact logic above, and basically make those threads
killable as well.
Hmm?
