Subject[PATCH net-next v2 4/4] net: mvneta: Spread out the TX queues management on all CPUs
Date
With this patch each CPU is associated with its own set of TX queues. In
the same time the SKB received in mvneta_tx is bound to the queue
associated to the CPU sending the data. Thanks to this the next IRQ will
be received on the same CPU allowing sending more data.

It will also allow to have a more predictable behavior regarding
throughput and latency when having multiple threads sending out data on
different CPUs.

As an example on Armada XP GP, with an iperf bound to a CPU and a ping
bound to another CPU, without this patch the ping round trip was about
2.5ms (and could reach 3s!), whereas with this patch it was around
0.7ms (and sometime it went to 1.2ms).
