Actually No. t.task is modified from hrtimer handler and so this check
would stay:

Diff I have added to this patch:

diff --git a/net/core/pktgen.c b/net/core/pktgen.c
index f911acd..cc2694e 100644
--- a/net/core/pktgen.c
+++ b/net/core/pktgen.c

ktime_t spin_until)
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
hrtimer_start_expires(&t.timer, HRTIMER_MODE_ABS);

- if (likely(t.task))
- schedule();
+ schedule();

hrtimer_cancel(&t.timer);
} while (t.task && pkt_dev->running &&
!signal_pending(current));
