Great. I suspect a very slow TX completion from fec then.
Could you use the following bpftrace program while your iperf is running ?
.bpftrace -e '
k:__dev_queue_xmit {
$skb = (struct sk_buff *)arg0;
if ($skb->fclone == 2) {
@start[$skb] = nsecs;
}
}
k:__kfree_skb {
$skb = (struct sk_buff *)arg0;
if ($skb->fclone == 2 && @start[$skb]) {
@tx_compl_usecs = hist((nsecs - @start[$skb])/1000);
delete(@start[$skb]);
}
}
END { clear(@start); }'
