Bug #1666
Deadlock in dvb_adapter_stop
100%
Description
global_mutex is held by thread 23, so it may not be possible to stop the adapter running on thread 19, which is currently blocked whilst it tries to claim that same mutex:
Thread 19 (Thread 0x7f495b7fe700 (LWP 4437)):

Updated by Thanks I was aware the bug existed just been stuck for time of late. But this will help.

try this branch: https://github.com/adamsutton/tvheadend/tree/issue/1666
It contains a possible reworking, though its currently untested (my system is in use).

The patch appears to work OK; I haven't been able to cause that particular deadlock.
I had to change the re-arm timer from 10ms to 100ms in dvb/dvb_fe.c::dvb_fe_monitor, otherwise tvheadend would get stuck in a tight loop more-or-less continually calling db_fe_monitor. Other threads would be starved access to the global_lock mutex causing the web-interface and channel changing to not respond.

Yeah I was a bit worried that might be too tight, hopefully 100ms won't be that noticeable. There were some bugs in an earlier version which caused it to do horrible things, so do check you have the latest version from the branch. (I think I force pushed it over the top).
