In terms of overall parallelization, both for TX as well as RX, my gut
feeling is that we want to move towards an MSI-X, multi-core friendly
model where packets are LIKELY to be sent and re

The challenge to deal with is that netdevices, filters, the queues and

Ok, so the "concurency" aspect is what worries me. What i am saying is
that sooner or later you have to serialize (which is anti-concurency)
For example, consider CPU0 running a high prio queue and CPU1 running
the low prio queue of the same netdevice.
Assume CPU0 is getting a lot of

David, any chance the second item, Oops while modprobing phy fixed module, in

The fix is now in your tree,

For these high performance 10Gbit cards it's a load balancing

1) Load balance on CPU number.
2) Load balance on "flow"
3) Load bala
