Hello, I'm using a KNC One TV-Station DVB-S2 Plus and a WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI with the multiprotocol drivers from http://www.jusst.de/hg/multiproto/ (changeset: 7218:2a911b8f9910, date: Wed Jul 09 23:07:29 2008 +0400) The drivers run fine since 250 (!) days, but I have an issue with high cpu load. So I decited to apply the patch "Fix High CPU load in 'top' due to budget_av slot polling" from Oliver Endriss or try the current v4l tree. First i tried to remove the current drivers. If i call "rmmod stb0899" the driver is not removed. Instead an Error "ERROR: Module stb0899 is in use" is shown (but no application is using the device) I also tried "rmmod -w stb0899". This leads to an infinite loop and I'm not able to kill the process. How can I rmmod the stb0899 driver without rebooting the system? How can I kill "rmmod -w stb0899"? regards, Andreas Besse =============================================== output of lsmod: ... tsdev 7968 0 budget_av 24192 1 saa7146_vv 45152 2 budget_av videobuf_dma_sg 12996 1 saa7146_vv videobuf_core 17252 2 saa7146_vv,videobuf_dma_sg videodev 26528 2 saa7146_vv v4l2_common 17216 2 saa7146_vv,videodev v4l1_compat 12516 2 saa7146_vv,videodev firmware_class 9504 2 budget_ci,budget_av budget_core 10756 2 budget_ci,budget_av dvb_core 79900 4 budget_ci,stv0299,budget_av,budget_core saa7146 18248 4 budget_ci,budget_av,saa7146_vv,budget_core ttpci_eeprom 2432 1 budget_core ide_cd 36416 0 cdrom 32832 1 ide_cd rtc 12856 0 pcspkr 3104 0 intel_agp 23188 1 i2c_i801 8656 0 i2c_core 23552 10 budget_ci,stv0299,i2c_isa,tda8261,stb0899,budget_av,v4l2_common,budget_core,ttpci_eeprom,i2c_i801 =============================================== output of "make rmmod" in multiprotocol directory: Mail:~/pakete/multiproto# make rmmod make -C /root/pakete/multiproto/v4l rmmod make[1]: Entering directory `/root/pakete/multiproto/v4l' scripts/rmmod.pl unload found 230 modules /sbin/rmmod budget_av ERROR: Module budget_av is in use /sbin/rmmod budget_ci /sbin/rmmod saa7146_vv ERROR: Module saa7146_vv is in use by budget_av /sbin/rmmod videodev ERROR: Module videodev is in use by saa7146_vv /sbin/rmmod budget_core ERROR: Module budget_core is in use by budget_av /sbin/rmmod stv0299 /sbin/rmmod videobuf_dma_sg ERROR: Module videobuf_dma_sg is in use by saa7146_vv /sbin/rmmod stb0899 ERROR: Module stb0899 is in use /sbin/rmmod v4l1_compat ERROR: Module v4l1_compat is in use by saa7146_vv,videodev /sbin/rmmod dvb_core ERROR: Module dvb_core is in use by budget_av,budget_core /sbin/rmmod tda8261 ERROR: Module tda8261 is in use /sbin/rmmod v4l2_common ERROR: Module v4l2_common is in use by saa7146_vv,videodev /sbin/rmmod videobuf_core ERROR: Module videobuf_core is in use by saa7146_vv,videobuf_dma_sg /sbin/rmmod ir_common /sbin/rmmod saa7146 ERROR: Module saa7146 is in use by budget_av,saa7146_vv,budget_core /sbin/rmmod ttpci_eeprom ERROR: Module ttpci_eeprom is in use by budget_core /sbin/rmmod budget_av ERROR: Module budget_av is in use /sbin/rmmod saa7146_vv ERROR: Module saa7146_vv is in use by budget_av /sbin/rmmod videodev ERROR: Module videodev is in use by saa7146_vv /sbin/rmmod budget_core ERROR: Module budget_core is in use by budget_av /sbin/rmmod videobuf_dma_sg ERROR: Module videobuf_dma_sg is in use by saa7146_vv /sbin/rmmod stb0899 ERROR: Module stb0899 is in use /sbin/rmmod v4l1_compat ERROR: Module v4l1_compat is in use by saa7146_vv,videodev /sbin/rmmod dvb_core ERROR: Module dvb_core is in use by budget_av,budget_core /sbin/rmmod tda8261 ERROR: Module tda8261 is in use /sbin/rmmod v4l2_common ERROR: Module v4l2_common is in use by saa7146_vv,videodev /sbin/rmmod videobuf_core ERROR: Module videobuf_core is in use by saa7146_vv,videobuf_dma_sg /sbin/rmmod saa7146 ERROR: Module saa7146 is in use by budget_av,saa7146_vv,budget_core /sbin/rmmod ttpci_eeprom ERROR: Module ttpci_eeprom is in use by budget_core Couldn't unload: ttpci_eeprom saa7146 videobuf_core v4l2_common tda8261 dvb_core v4l1_compat stb0899 videobuf_dma_sg budget_core videodev saa7146_vv budget_av make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/pakete/multiproto/v4l' =============================================== lsmod after "make rmmod" budget_av 24192 1 saa7146_vv 45152 2 budget_av videobuf_dma_sg 12996 1 saa7146_vv videobuf_core 17252 2 saa7146_vv,videobuf_dma_sg videodev 26528 2 saa7146_vv v4l2_common 17216 2 saa7146_vv,videodev v4l1_compat 12516 2 saa7146_vv,videodev firmware_class 9504 1 budget_av budget_core 10756 1 budget_av dvb_core 79900 2 budget_av,budget_core saa7146 18248 3 budget_av,saa7146_vv,budget_core ttpci_eeprom 2432 1 budget_core ide_cd 36416 0 cdrom 32832 1 ide_cd rtc 12856 0 pcspkr 3104 0 intel_agp 23188 1 i2c_i801 8656 0 i2c_core 23552 8 i2c_isa,tda8261,stb0899,budget_av,v4l2_common,budget_core,ttpci_eeprom,i2c_i801 =============================================== lspci: 0000:02:04.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: KNC One: Unknown device 0018 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19 Memory at ec049000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] 0000:02:06.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend-Budget / Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-CI DVB card Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 16 Memory at ec04a000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
