Subject: [ 58/83] net-rps: Fix brokeness causing OOO packets

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Tom Herbert <therbert@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit baefa31db2f2b13a05d1b81bdf2d20d487f58b0a ]

In commit c445477d74ab3779 which adds aRFS to the kernel, the CPU
selected for RFS is not set correctly when CPU is changing.
This is causing OOO packets and probably other issues.
