Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Support dcbnl_setbuffer, dcbnl_getbuffer Petr says: On Spectrum, port buffers, also called port headroom, is where packets are stored while they are parsed and the forwarding decision is being made. For lossless traffic flows, in case shared buffer admission is not allowed, headroom is also where to put the extra traffic received before the sent PAUSE takes effect. Linux supports two DCB interfaces related to the headroom: dcbnl_setbuffer for configuration, and dcbnl_getbuffer for inspection. This patch set implements them. With dcbnl_setbuffer in place, there will be two sources of authority over the ingress configuration: the DCB ETS hook, because ETS configuration is mirrored to ingress, and the DCB setbuffer hook. mlxsw is in a similar situation on the egress side, where there are two sources of the ETS configuration: the DCB ETS hook, and the TC qdisc hooks. This is a non-intuitive situation, because the way the ASIC ends up being configured depends not only on the actual configured bits, but also on the order in which they were configured. To prevent these issues on the ingress side, two configuration modes will exist: DCB mode and TC mode. DCB ETS will keep getting projected to ingress in the (default) DCB mode. When a qdisc is installed on a port, it will be switched to the TC mode, the ingress configuration will be done through the dcbnl_setbuffer callback. The reason is that the dcbnl_setbuffer hook is not standardized and supported by lldpad. Projecting DCB ETS configuration to ingress is a reasonable heuristic to configure ingress especially when PFC is in effect. In patch #1, the toggle between the DCB and TC modes of headroom configuration, described above, is introduced. Patch #2 implements dcbnl_getbuffer and dcbnl_setbuffer. dcbnl_getbuffer can be always used to determine the current port headroom configuration. dcbnl_setbuffer is only permitted in the TC mode. In patch #3, make the qdisc module toggle the headroom mode from DCB to TC and back, depending on whether there is an offloaded qdisc on the port. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
