Haven't really following kgraft development but is it safe to assume
that all kthread_should_stop() usages are clean side-effect-less
boundaries? If so, why is that property guaranteed? Is there any
mechanism for sanity checks? Maybe I'm just failing to understand how
the whole thing is supposed to work but this looks like it could
devolve into something more broken than the freezer which we haven't
fully recovered from yet.
Thanks.
