From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@vip.163.com> The skb flow limit is implemented for each CPU independently. In the current codes, the function skb_flow_limit gets the softnet_data by this_cpu_ptr. But the target cpu of enqueue_to_backlog would be not the current cpu when enable RPS. As the result, the skb_flow_limit checks the stats of current CPU, while the skb is going to append the queue of another CPU. It isn't the expected behavior.
Now pass the softnet_data as a param to make consistent.
