Subject: Re: [PATCH v5] net: batch skb dequeueing from softnet
 input_pkt_queue

Please reorder things better.

Most likely this function is called for one packet.

In your version you take twice the rps_lock()/rps_unlock() path, so
it'll be slower.

Once to 'transfert' one list to process list

Once to be able to do the 'label out:' post processing.
