Thank you for the comment. This was already discussed in V4.
I am just sharing the summary here:
This waiting time is usually much shorter than 120 sec.
The long wait only happens in rare and unexpected NIC HW non-responding cases.
At that point, we don't actually care if the pending packets are sent or not.
But if we free the queues too soon, and the HW is slow for unexpected reasons,
a delayed completion notice will DMA into the freed memory and cause corruption.
That's why we have a longer waiting time.

Yes, dev_kfree_skb_any() will be a better approach in this scenario. Will change it in next version.
