It looks like you ran pktgen on the embedded system, which exercised
only the transmit path. Auke indicated that the lockup was in the RU.
Have you run pktgen on a test system to fire packets at the embedded
system at max rate? Also test what happens when you fire packets in both
directions simultaneously.
