Symptoms

I/O flows for the Cavium Nitrox are not always added to the count- but are always subtracted correctly, causing an imbalance.

Impact

Incorrect accounting allowed the number of flows to drop below zero, triggering an assert and a core.

Conditions

This occurs only on platforms using the Cavium Nitrox chip.

Workaround

None
