There will be no fixed relationship between worker thread and workqueue, so it simply wouldn't be possible to give a specific name to worker threads - much like we only have keventd for all the works queued to the default workqueue for the current implementation. As long as stack trace can be extracted, I don't think it will hamper with debugging too much.
Thanks.
