Subject: RPS will assign different smp_processor_id for the same packet?

kernel 2.6.36.4
CONFIG_RPS=y but not set the cpu mask

/sys/class/net/eth1/queues/rx-0 # cat rps_cpus
00

register a hook func:
  prot_hook.func = packet_rcv;
  prot_hook.type = htons(ETH_P_ALL);
  dev_add_pack(&prot_hook);


replay the same traffic in very slow speed, printk the
smp_processor_id in packet_rcv():
first time:
cpu=4
cpu=3
cpu=6
cpu=7

second time:
cpu=7
cpu=1
cpu=5
cpu=2

is it normal?

thanks
rui
