From: Liang Ma <liang.j...@intel.com> The Distributor autotest can lock if ran enough times. Worker and distributir threads get into a livelock situation waiting on each other. Issue first encountered by RedHat in Travis CI https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316
To repeat: `while sudo sh -c "echo 'distributor_autotest' | ./build/app/test/dpdk-test"; do :; done` The root cause is where we are flushing on exit, and do not wait for all worker packets to be returned before exiting. Add a delay on flush so that all worker packets are returned before completing the flush.
