+This test hangs under 5.0 kernels onwards. It appears to be caused by the commit in the kernel:

+    tcp: implement coalescing on backlog queue
+    
+    In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled,
+    we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while
+    softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop.
+    
+    This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq,
+    to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work
+    before new packets are added the the backlog.
+    
+    This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO
+    does not aggregate them.
+    
+    This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver
+    without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on
+    1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.
