No. I just saw that the timeout defaults to 0 seconds now. For each
frontend a kernel thread gets started when open() is called. After the
call to close(), the thread will be stopped after 'dvb_shutdown_timeout'
seconds. It compares the jiffies value to accomplish that. See
dvb_frontend_is_exiting() in dvb_frontend.c.

No, and the old kernel thread will be reused.

Andreas
