Merge branch 'mlxsw-Update-main-pool-computation-and-pool-size-limits'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Update main pool computation and pool size limits Petr says: In Spectrum ASICs, the shared buffer is an area of memory where packets are kept until they can be transmitted. There are two resources associated with shared buffer size: cap_total_buffer_size and cap_guaranteed_shared_buffer. So far, mlxsw has been using the former as a limit when validating shared buffer pool size configuration. However, the total size also includes headrooms and reserved space, which really cannot be used for shared buffer pools. Patch #1 mends this and has mlxsw use the guaranteed size. To configure default pool sizes, mlxsw has historically hard-coded one or two smallish pools, and one "main" pool that took most of the shared buffer (that would be pool 0 on ingress and pool 4 on egress). During the development of Spectrum-2, it became clear that the shared buffer size keeps shrinking as bugs are identified and worked around. In order to prevent having to tweak the size of pools 0 and 4 to catch up with updates to values reported by the FW, patch #2 changes the way these pools are set. Instead of hard-coding a fixed value, the main pool now takes whatever is left from the guaranteed size after the smaller pool(s) are taken into account. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
