Hi, Ferruh
Sorry for the late reply.
I did not receive your email on Oct 6, I got your comments from patchwork.

"Can you please provide more details on multi-process communication and 
call trace, to help us think about a solution to address this issue in a 
more generic way (not just for pcap but for any case device close takes 
more than multi-process timeout)?"

I try to explain this issue with a sequence diagram, hope it can be displayed correctly in the mail.

The marked 'local_dev_remove()' in the secondary process will perform a pcap file synchronization operation.
When the pcap file is too large, it will take a lot of time (according to my test 100G takes 20+ seconds).
This caused the processing of hot_plug message to time out.
