Yes, sbin/nginx is still running,
root        3228  0.0  0.0  31316 13476 ?        Ssl  12:50   0:00 
nginx: master process sbin/nginx
nobody      3230  0.0  0.0  32296 16456 ?        Sl   12:50   0:00 
nginx: worker process

Since ioasid is freed, so lynx can get the same ioasid.

I added dump_stack() in ioasid_free.
