Using signals to communicate with kernel threads is rather baroque - we have a range of less klunky ways of controlling kernel threads in-kernel.
The containers guys are going through converting lots of these things over to the kthread API - I believe it's a requirement for containerisation.
nfsd/rpc is going to be one of the hard ones to convert, but it's going to happen. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
