Description

The return stack queue is checked before obtaining the lock in src/tmqh-packetpool.c:118. This leaves a small window where the FlowManager thread is waiting for the queue lock and another thread is populating the queue. The FlowManager thread would miss the signal as it had not started waiting for it. The FlowManager thread would be stuck forever.

The overall result of this is that there are no available packet buffers to be used for forcing closure of timed out flows, we run out of flows and traffic is blocked.
