Doubt Regarding processing of poll_list in softnet_data

["Rajendra Stalekar" <rajendra.stalekar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When we say that the softnet_data is defined per CPU, which would avoid locking, does it mean that we have this structure define for each interface and mapping would be 1 softnet_data ---1 CPU , similarly for the 2^nd interface you have the 2^nd CPU.

Is this correct?
