It's not thread safe to let the user edit the scene while baking is in progress, try deleting all objects in the scene while it's baking for example. So while using the jobs system is a nice improvement, this still must be a blocking operation.

You could use WM_set_locked_interface to do that (but not make it optional as it is for rendering).

3120	Add `baker.bake_job = NULL;` here.
3318–3338	I think launching this thread is unnecessary since `BKE_ptcache_bake` now always runs as part of a job. So probably this code could be simplified. You can do it as part of this patch or leave a comment in the code for someone to do it later.

3053	Same.
