It is not clear why this patch is needed .

What you describe here is the case we might receive packets for a socket
coming from different interfaces ?

If skb->napi_id is a sender_cpu, why should we prevent overwriting the
sk_napi_id with it, knowing that busy polling will simply ignore the
invalid value ?

Do not get me wrong :

I simply try to understand why the test about napi_id validity is now
done twice :

1) At the time we are writing into sk->sk_napi_id

2) At busy polling time when we read sk->sk_napi_id
