+		rte_delay_ms(10);

Why you don't replace "2" and "10" with macro?

Subject: [PATCH v3] test: add delay time in test alarm

Because accuracy of timing to the microsecond is not guaranteed in rte_eal_alarm_set, this function will not be called before the requested time, but may be called a period of time afterwards which can not be calculated. In order to ensure test alarm running success, this patch added the delay time before check the flag.
