The driver xmit function chooses an egress FQ based on the current core id. The network stack itself sets a mapping field in the skb based on many things - the default one being a hash on packet fields, which the current driver ignores. This patch saves the ingress frame flow affinity information in the skb. In case of forwarded frames, this info will then be used for Tx and Tx confirmation hardware queue selection, ensuring all processing of the given frame is done on a single core.
