For each frontend a kernel thread gets started when open() is called. After the call to close(), the thread will be stopped after 'dvb_shutdown_timeout' seconds. It compares the jiffies value to accomplish that. See dvb_frontend_is_exiting() in dvb_frontend.c. > And does it still get called if the > frontend gets reopened before the timer expires? No, and the old kernel thread will be reused.
