Apologies for the delayed reply,

In case of event dev the workers don't interact with eth device directly, 
Instead eth device "injects" packets into event device and event device
is responsible for scheduling them to the workers.

If the producer is not stopped i.e. in this case eth device then the worker
threads might never exit and the main core would wait indefinitely for
workers to exit. This will be predominantly seen in cases where there are
only a few flows and large number of workers causing a lot of intra thread
dependency.

Regards,
Pavan.
