Ostinato/drone freeze after tx byte count exceeds 2^32, stoptx method never completes #112

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Ubuntu 10.04, 10/100Mb Ethernet interface, transmit only
2. Frame size 1024, raw 802.3 packets (MAC address and CRC only)
3. Interval set to 0.0 for max wirespeed, single stream, goto start
4. Leave running at 100Mb for 1-2 hours without stopping

We are sending raw, MAC wrapped only packets through a switch/router and then 
on to an embedded device with no return packets. MAC address is statically 
loaded in the switch to output on desired port. We get 95% plus bandwidth. 

We left the test running over lunch, then when we come back no packets are 
being sent, and ostinato does not show outgoing packets after clicking start. 
Clicking Apply gets error message 'Stop stream first'. 

Attached is an 800 line text of the output in the terminal that started 
ostinato. It should start around the point that the overflow Tx count occurred. 
After failing to get packets sent, we tried stop and start several times, and 
Apply, and also delete stream and open stream. Then I killed the drone process 
and manually restarted drone from a second window (see second attached file). 
At this point it looked like the prior Tx count returned. The number was 
approximately 3,349,864,911 bytes sent.

Proper operation was restored after exiting ostinato, verifying that both 
ostinato and drone processes were gone, and restarting. This is the second time 
that ostinato was unresponsive. The first was when we first came into the lab 
in the morning having used ostinato (not sure if it was left transmitting) over 
night.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
About dialog)? On what operating system?
Version 74c9dcf830e3@
Ubuntu 10.04LTS
