From: Liang Ma Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 09:03:01 +0000 (+0100) Subject: distributor: fix livelock on flush X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96c343868dd15ebdc74371a9dea2288b30ce13ea;p=dpdk.git distributor: fix livelock on flush The Distributor autotest can lock if ran enough times. Worker and distributor threads get into a livelock situation waiting on each other. 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.
