The flow has a reference counter "use_cnt". It's atomic, so it has the<br>
_sc_atomic suffix. This reference counter is increased for each packet<br>
that references the flow. If at shut down, when we should have no more<br>
active packets, there is still a non-zero use_cnt, it most likely means<br>
that a packet got lost inside suricata somehow.<br>

Are you seeing this in the official code? Or are you running your own<br>
modifications?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>I am seeing it in my own modifications.. I think i fixed it now! Thanks for the clarification!</div></div></div></div></div>
