Hello,
Yes it's synchronization issue... the test is over and we have sent
all pkts to the device but pktgen cannot free the skb for it still
has refcounts.
IMO must drivers have provisions to handle situation like. I'll
guess we can discuss last-resort timer if it should be us, ms
or possibly seconds but shouldn't need ping to make this happen.
If so we probably have a ICMP packet sitting there waiting instead.
Cheers
