Merge branch 'mlxsw-Enable-MC-aware-mode-for-mlxsw-ports'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Enable MC-aware mode for mlxsw ports Petr says: Due to an issue in Spectrum chips, when unicast traffic shares the same queue as BUM traffic, and there is a congestion, the BUM traffic is admitted to the queue anyway, thus pushing out all UC traffic. In order to give unicast traffic precedence over BUM traffic, configure multicast-aware mode on all ports. Under multicast-aware regime, when assigning traffic class to a packet, the switch doesn't merely take the value prescribed by the QTCT register. For BUM traffic, it instead assigns that value plus 8. That limits the number of available TCs, but since mlxsw currently only uses the lower eight anyway, it is no real loss. The two TCs (UC and MC one) are then mapped to the same subgroup and strictly prioritized so that UC traffic is preferred in case of congestion. In patch #1, introduce a new register, QTCTM, which enables the multicast-aware mode. In patch #2, fix a typo in related code. In patch #3, set up TCs and QTCTM to enable multicast-aware mode. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
