Hi,
I am running a Hauppauge NOVA-S plus (cx2388x based card) and an older technotrend S-1500 card in the same chassis. Trying to debug other problems I have turned on lock debugging in the kernel and have started getting the following dump when both cards are started:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same dump occurs with different processes named in the line:
"startup1.pl/13742 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes:", though the rest is essentially the same.
Now, I am interpreting this as saying that the demux->lock used in dvb_dxm_swfilter and dvb_dmx_swfilter_packets has become inconsistent. I think this has happened because one of the locks was taken from a soft IRQ.
Changing the spinlocks to spin_lock_irqsave/restore on that lock object in dvb_demux.c has stopped that error message.
I am not an expert in this, but is this the correct interpretation and resolution? If so, I'll send a patch. If this is not the correct way of fixing this, does anyone have any suggestions?
This is of course using an SMP kernel and I have a Intel Core2 6700 @ 2.66GHz
processor.
Cheers
Pete
