Hi,
With my current kernel (2.6.32), if my dvb device is removed while in use, I got [1].
After checking the source code, the problem seems to happen also in master :
If there are users (for example users == -2) :
- dvb_unregister_frontend :
- stop kernel thread with dvb_frontend_stop :
- fepriv->exit = 1;
- thread loop catch stop event and break while loop
- fepriv->thread = NULL; and fepriv->exit = 0;
- dvb_unregister_frontend wait on "fepriv->dvbdev->wait_queue" that fepriv->dvbdev->users==-1.
The user finish :
- dvb_frontend_release
- set users to -1
- don't wait wait_queue because fepriv->exit != 1
=> dvb_unregister_frontend never exit the wait queue.
