Hello,

I have been looking quite deeply into the TCP-code, but there is one
thing I simply dont manage to understand. Can the code process more than
one skb on a socket at the time, or is it strictly one and one?

E.g say that you are going to send something (an skb), and you recieve
an ack at the same time. Will the kernel finish whatever of the two
comes first (say, finish sending) or can it, in the middle of treating
the new packet to send, do a switch and process the ack?

send happes in process context, recv in interrupt context...isn't it?
