Issue description
An infinite loop can occur in the DPDK timer subsystem under the following conditions:
Root cause
The head of the DPDK timer's linked list is located in shared memory, which is managed and owned by the primary process.
When a secondary process restarts, it re-executes its initialization routines, including the one for
freebsd_clock. This routine attempts to add a timer to the linked list. However, since the list already exists and was never cleaned up from the secondary process's perspective, this operation incorrectly links the timer back to itself, creating a cycle in the list. Consequently, any code that subsequently traverses this corrupted list enters an infinite loop.Solution
freebsd_clocktimer is stopped and removed during graceful shutdown.
