[ 27/89] net-rps: Fix brokeness causing OOO packets

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Dec 03 2012 - 09:38:57 EST


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

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

From: Tom Herbert <therbert@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ 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.
