VM worker kthreads can linger in the VM process's cgroup for sometime after KVM terminates the VM process. KVM terminates the worker kthreads by calling kthread_stop() which waits on the 'exited' completion, triggered by exit_mm(), via mm_release(), in do_exit() during the kthread's exit. However, these kthreads are removed from the cgroup using the cgroup_exit() which happens after the exit_mm(). Therefore, A VM process can terminate in between the exit_mm() and cgroup_exit() calls, leaving only worker kthreads in the cgroup. Moving worker kthreads back to the original cgroup (kthreadd_task's cgroup) makes sure that the cgroup is empty as soon as the main VM process is terminated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
