Hi Raimonds, Jurgen, Can you both test this patch? It should (I hope) solve the problems you both had with the cx23885 driver. This patch fixes a race condition in the vb2_thread that occurs when the thread is stopped. The crucial fix is calling kthread_stop much earlier in vb2_thread_stop(). But I also made the vb2_thread more robust.
