On multicore systems it was possible for the txrx tasklet to keep on running for long periods of time on a single CPU due to tx completion processing. Another CPU could feed the running tasklet for an indefinite amount of time. The tasklet is now guaranteed to run a finite amount of time and is limited by HTT CE Rx ring depth. This improves behavior when RPS is used on target system and might improve TCP handling as well.
