The whole reason the queues are per-cpu is so that we do not have to touch remote processor state nor use locks of any kind whatsoever.
With multi-queue networking cards becoming more and more available, which will split up the packet workload in hardware across all available cpus, there is less and less reason to make a patch like this one. We've known about this issue for ages, and if we felt it was appropriate to make this change, we would have done so years ago. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
