Speaking of the purge timer issue, I think this is because the IPF module
is packet-driven, in your test there must be no new frag packets received
here. So ipf_send_frags_in_list can not be called.
And eventually frags are purged by the ipf_clean thread. In ipf_clean thread,
the purge timer is 1min exactly.
