   Hello   
      
   given a chip with ARM7 core and L2 8-port switch. There is Linux 2.4 kernel   
   ported on this chip. Suppouse there is a kernel routine accepting. for   
   example, IGMP packets; my question is - if packets come in the switch via   
   different ingress ports simultaneously, does it mean that the routine might   
   be invoked also simultaneously and cause race conditions conflicts, so   
   semaphores or similar mechanisms should be applied ?
