I'm wondering for now if I can update and resend this patch to have a
better monitor (actually we do need one) on this part since we have
touched the net_rx_action() in the rps optimization patch series?
Also, just like Jesper mentioned before, it can be considered as one
'fix' to a old problem but targetting to net-next is just fine. What
do you think about it ?  

Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say :(  

Previously this patch was not accepted because we do not want to touch
softirqs (actually which is net_rx_action()). Since it is touched in
the commit [1] in recent days, I would like to ask your permission:
could I resend this patch to the mailing list? I hope we can get it
merged.

This patch can be considered as a 'fix' to the old problem. It's
beneficial and harmless, I think :)

The not touching part was about softirqs which is kernel/softirq.c,
this patch was rejected because it's not useful.
