When I run VDR there is a kdvb-fe process created when I open the frontend. Sometimes there are two such processes created per DVB card, one of them marked '<defunct>'. After stopping VDR (no matter whether I explicitly do a 'close(fd_frontend)' or not) the '<defunct>' kdvb-fe process goes away, but the other kdvb-fe process stays alive and eats up all of the CPU time.
If I then do a 'make rmmod' to get rid of these leftover processes, I sometimes get this: Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c8c97090 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: printing eip: Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: c0780068 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: *pde = 04211067 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: *pte = 00000000 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Oops: 0000 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: CPU: 0 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: EIP: 0010:[8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-119766936/96] Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: EFLAGS: 00010246 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: eax: c8c97000 ebx: 00000063 ecx: fc0903f9 edx: 000aa58b Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: esi: 00000101 edi: c50de000 ebp: c421b800 esp: c50dfed8 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Process kdvb-fe (pid: 15872, stackpage=c50df000) Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Stack: 00000063 c0780151 c421b800 c421b800 c4a6e000 00000064 00000001 c07803de Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: c421b800 00000064 c421b800 00000001 00000000 c0780cff c421b800 c4a6e000 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: 00000064 c421b800 00000004 00000001 c14d7e20 c0780dac c14d7e20 c50dff74 Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Call Trace: [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-119766703/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-119766050/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-119763713/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-119763540/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-65158947/96] Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-65155518/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-2503076/96] [8139too:__insmod_8139too_O/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/drivers/ne+-2500783/96] [kernel_thread+40/56] Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Dec 1 14:30:34 video kernel: Code: 8b 98 90 00 00 00 f6 05 88 f0 78 c0 02 74 0e 53 68 40 c8 78 Question: why don't these kdvb-fe processes go away when the frontend is closed? And what's with these <defunct> processes? I'm using today's CVS driver (2002-12-01).
