I posted an example use case on netdev a few days ago, and the block layer example is in Jen's block layer tree. It's for networking cards that don't do flow seperation on receive using multiple RX queues and MSI-X interrupts. It's also for things like IPSEC where the per-packet cpu usage is so huge (to do the crypto) that it makes sense to even split up the work to multiple cpus within the same flow. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
