Guoqing,

It would help to know more about the test setup you are using. I.e. which NIC/driver.
I mostly test on head of tree and things seem to be working.
You could add something like

	if (in_irq())
		<print something once or twice>

to rxe_udp_encap_recv() to check if you are in a hard interrupt in the receive path.
