Do you observe any performance gains from this patch?

I also wonder why isn't the probe code run on the correct numa node?
That would fix a wide class of issues like this without need to tweak
drivers.

Bjorn, what do you think? Was this considered?

Thanks for your comments!
Yes, the bandwidth can boost more than doubled (from 30Gbps to 80GBps)
with this changes in my test env (8 numa nodes), with netperf test.

Good point, I'll check this, thanks!

Sorry, I have no idea about how the probe code to grab the appropriate
NUMA node.
