Ido Schimmel d5949d92c2 mlxsw: spectrum_buffers: Add a multicast pool for Spectrum-2
In Spectrum-1, when a multicast packet is admitted to the shared buffer
it increases the quotas of all the ports and {port, TC} to which it is
forwarded to.

The above means that multicast packets are accounted multiple times in
the shared buffer and can therefore cause the associated shared buffer
pool to fill up very quickly.

To work around this issue, commit e83c045e53 ("mlxsw:
spectrum_buffers: Configure MC pool") added a dedicated multicast pool
in which multicast packets are accounted.

The issue is not present in Spectrum-2, but in order to be backward
compatible with Spectrum-1, its default behavior is to allow a multicast
packet to increase multiple egress quotas instead of one.

Until the new (non-backward compatible) mode is supported, configure a
dedicated multicast pool as in Spectrum-1.

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.
