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?
