The vhost driver will create a kthread when userspace does a VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, but the thread is charged to the kthreadd thread. We can then end up violating the userspace process's RLIMIT_NPROC. This patchset allows drivers to pass in the user to charge/check. The patches were made over Linus's current tree.
