I am scratching my head to understand both the question and your answer... if cpu1 is handling an interrupt, cpu2 cannot handle an interrupt at the same time for same queue. It must be for a different queue. Therefore, packets will be handled in parallel. Serialization might be done later, at socket layer to queue packets in a receive queue for example, if both packets must be delivered on same socket. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
