Current ring selector logic follows round-robin scheduling, when a process switch from one processor to another each time, the data in the cache would have to be invalidated and re-loaded from RAM leads to poor cache utilization. Therefore smp_processor_id() attempt to keep processes on the same processor via processor affinity which improves cache utilization. Also, ring selection could be chosen round robin when the processor_id based ring selection does not have the resources.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
