From: Alex Belits <abelits@xxxxxxxxxxx> With the existing implementation of store_rps_map(), packets are queued in the receive path on the backlog queues of other CPUs irrespective of whether they are isolated or not. This could add a latency overhead to any RT workload that is running on the same CPU. Ensure that store_rps_map() only uses available housekeeping CPUs for storing the rps_map.
