John,
It was a little hard to read your code; however, it does seems to me
like will cause a massive amount of packet reordering to the end hosts
using you as the gateway especially when it is receiving a lot of
packets/second.
You have a queue per CPU that connects your bottom and top half and
several CPUs that may service a single NIC in your bottom half.
one cpu in either bottom/top half has to be slightly loaded and you
loose the ordering where incoming doesnt match outgoing packet order.
cheers,
jamal
