Merge branch 'net-rps-lockless'
Jason Xing says: ==================== locklessly protect left members in struct rps_dev_flow From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com> Since Eric did a more complicated locklessly change to last_qtail member[1] in struct rps_dev_flow, the left members are easier to change as the same. One thing important I would like to share by qooting Eric: "rflow is located in rxqueue->rps_flow_table, it is thus private to current thread. Only one cpu can service an RX queue at a time." So we only pay attention to the reader in the rps_may_expire_flow() and writer in the set_rps_cpu(). They are in the two different contexts.
