Do you mean this situation?

CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
rfcomm_run() | kthread_stop()
... |
if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)) |
| set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
| wake_up_process()
wait_woken() | wait_for_completion()
set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE) |
if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN) |
schedule_timeout() |
|

Now both tasks are sleeping forever.

If yes, then wakeups from signals don't work either, right?
