Apologies in advance for a somewhat long-winded post.

I am using an Asrock Celeron based N3150M board with a TT S2 6400 card and a Digital Devices Cine S2 V7A card and 64bit kernels. The frontends on the TT card are unused in favour of the DD card - the TT card is just used for output. vdr is 2.3.9.

For a while now I have been assisting Daniel Scheller with testing his mainline kernel DD drivers prior to release:

https://github.com/herrnst/dddvb-linux-kernel

Up until a few days ago, all was well, using his dd 0.9.32 drivers in conjunction with kernel 4.15.0-rc6+.

The system was then updated to his dd 0.9.33 drivers and kernel 4.16+ and intermittent video/audio freezes of two to three seconds appeared. After some driver bisecting it turns out that this is being caused by the new kernel, not the dd drivers, (the problem occurs with the old drivers in the new kernel.).

I am unsure quite where to start, to work out which kernel update has caused this, but was hoping that the following log errors might point somewhere useful:

The effect coinciding with these, is a frozen picture and mute audio for up to several seconds.

Any help much appreciated.

Kind regards,
