I think the reason is that Rx BDRs are disabled when enetc_stop() is called,
but there are still many unprocessed frames on Rx BDR. These frames will
be processed by XDP program and put into Tx BDR. So enetc_wait_txbdr()
will timeout and cause xdp_tx_in_flight will not be cleared.

So based on this patch, we should add a separate patch, similar to the patch
2 ("net: enetc: fix the issues of XDP_REDIRECT feature "), which prevents the
XDP_TX frames from being put into Tx BDRs when the ENETC_TX_DOWN flag
is set. The new patch is shown below. After adding this new patch, I followed
your test steps and tested for more than 30 minutes, and the issue cannot be
reproduced anymore (without this patch, this problem would be reproduced
within seconds).
