Subject: [Question] ixgbe：Mechanism of RSS

Hi masters,

	We use the Intel Corporation 82599ES NIC in our production environment. And it has 63 rx queues, every rx queue interrupt is processed by a single cpu.
	The RSS configuration can be seen as follow:

	RX flow hash indirection table for eno5 with 63 RX ring(s):
	0:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	8:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	16:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	24:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	32:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	40:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	48:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	56:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	64:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	72:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	80:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	88:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	96:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	104:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15
	112:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
	120:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15

	The maximum number of RSS queues is 16. So I have some questions about this. Will other cpus except 0~15 receive the rx interrupts? 

	In our production environment, cpu 16~62 also receive the rx interrupts. Was our RSS misconfigured?
