Hi Ying,

Actually not all TxQs share same interrupt vector.
In commit 76532d0c we assigned an interrupt vector for each TX ring.
When the number of Queues is higher than number of interrupt vectors, there are queues that share interrupts
And actually reaching the assignment you specified.

We are considering this change.
