I don't know; I didn't follow the changes to the core signal-handling
for kernel threads. I never experienced any problems until I started
using 2.6.22, so it's certainly possible that you're seeing something
different.
I just tried doing what you said:
modprobe net2280
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/b bs=1M count=5 ; \
modprobe g_file_storage file=/tmp/b
No problem; it worked fine. But my version of the driver includes the
patch, of course. And this was under 2.6.22-rc3.
