[linux-dvb] Re: [PATCH] fix oops from removing running dvb_net

[Holger Waechtler <holger@convergence.de>]

Hi Emard, hi all,

on a first glance your code looks fine, so if some people report success 
just go on and commit.

I don't have currently the time to test this on my own, Johannes is busy 
as well - so can some other people please test these patches under 
stress conditions and report whether this works in all setups?
