Could you try using "keep_buffers" option? This option should tell the driver
to try to not release the video buffers, in an attempt to prevent
memory from fragmenting.
Like this:
$ modprobe stk1160 keep_buffers=1
or like this to make it permanent:
$ echo "options stk1160 keep_buffers=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/stk1160.conf
Please try this, see if it solves your issue and report your results.
