The log shows that the worker thread is stuck in iotlb_access_ok(). How
will setting the backend to NULL stop it? During my debugging I found
that the worker is stuck in this while loop:

1361         while (len > s) {                                                                     
1362                 map = vhost_iotlb_itree_first(umem, addr, last);                        
1363                 if (map == NULL || map->start > addr) {                                 
1364                         vhost_iotlb_miss(vq, addr, access);     
1365                         return false;                      
1366                 } else if (!(map->perm & access)) {        
1367                         /* Report the possible access violation by
1368                          * request another translation from userspace.    
1369                          */                                           
1370                         return false;                                 
1371                 }                      
1372                                          
1373                 pr_info("iotlb_access_ok: after msize=%llu, mstart=%llu\n",
1374                                 map->size, map->start);                    
1375                 size = map->size - addr + map->start;                      
1376                                                             
1377                 if (orig_addr == addr && size >= len)       
1378                         vhost_vq_meta_update(vq, map, type);                      
1379                                                                                   
1380                 s += size;                                                        
1381                 addr += size;                                                     
1382         }
