 Yes thats more convenient than looping over the threads from 
 the bash scripts.

 For less impact I'll think you just can run pktgen_rem_all_ifs() 
 for all threads. 

void pktgen_reset_all_threads(void)
{
.
	mutex_lock(&pktgen_thread_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(t, &pktgen_threads, th_list)
			       pktgen_rem_all_ifs(t);
	mutex_unlock(&pktgen_thread_lock);

 .
