EnvironmentError: IOError: Block ctrl (CE_01_Port_40) packet parse error UHD 3.15.LTS and UHD 3.14

[mwk088]

Issue Description

X310 Failure after limited run. Full error below.

thread[thread-per-block[7]: <block gr uhd usrp source (3)>]: EnvironmentError: IOError: Block ctrl (CE_01_Port_40) packet parse error - EnvironmentError: IOError: Expected packet index: 3318 Received index: 3319

Setup Details

X310, two TwinRx daughterboards. Scanning between 2 frequencies every 11secs. 10Gig connection, two channel collect @100Msps, 80Mhz BW UHD: 3.15.LTS, Also seen with UHD 3.14 OS: CentOS 7.9 Python 2.7.5 GNU: 3.7.14.0 Docker Environment Server based system

Expected Behavior

Collection to continue and not error out

Actual Behaviour

Error message above seen and collection stops. I then must do a ctrl-C to fully exit out then restart my application again to retask the X310

Steps to reproduce the problem

Flowgraph includes UHD source block, with a number of demod blocks.

Additional Information

Numerous D's and O's seen leading up to the error. After performing a ctrl-C to completely exit the application, I get the error messages below.

Expected packet index: 3318 Received index: 3319

This means a control packet was lost somewhere (on the wire maybe).

Can you please share some info about your application? Is this reproducible with UHD examples?

[mwk088]

Sure, my application is collecting wifi packets, demodulating them whether they are ofdm or Dsss and producing pcap files or running to null. My application creates the flowgraph like so...USRP -> Burst Detector -> Eventstream -> Demod blocks -> null.

I haven't run any UHD examples to try and reproduce. Are there any you suggest I use?

[mbr0wn]

twinrx_freq_hopping would be a good one.

Cannot reproduce in this state.
