will 2 cpu simultaneously  process packets which have same hash value on multiqueue nic?

let 's take broadcom 57711 bnx2x_main.c as an example:

#1 packet1->queue=1
#2 packet2->queue=1

will cpu1 and cpu2 execute the function " bnx2x_rx_int" in parallel, to receive packet1 & packet2

or it just depend on smp_affinity setting?

thanks
jon
