mlxsw: Offload multi-queue RED support
Nogah says:
Support a two level hierarchy of offloaded qdiscs in mlxsw, with sch_prio
being the root qdisc and sch_red as the children.
+----------+
| sch_prio |
+----+-----+
|
|
+----------------------------------+
| | |
| | |
| | |
+---v---+ +----v---+ +-----v--+
|sch_red| |sch_red | |sch_red |
+-------+ +--------+ +--------+
When setting sch_prio as the root qdisc on a physical port, mlxsw will
offload it. When adding it with sch_red as a child qdisc, it will offload
it as well.
Relocating child qdisc or connecting them to more then one child will
result in unoffloading them. Relocating child qdisc more then once is
highly unrecommended and might cause a miss match between the kernel
configuration and the offloaded one. The offloaded configuration will be
aligned with the one shown in the show command.
Changing the priomap parameter of sch_prio might cause a band that its
configuration was changed and it has offloaded sch_red set on it, to lose
some stats data as if sch_red was unoffloaded and offloaded again. However,
it won't affect the data on this band that will have sch_red continuously.
Patch 1 adds support for setting RED as the child of root qdisc.
Patches 2-4 add support for RED bstasts for offloaded child qdiscs.
Patches 5-6 handle backlog related changes for offloaded child qdiscs.
Patches 7-8 update PRIO in mlxsw to be able to have RED as child on its
bands.
Patch 9 adds offload handles for PRIO graft operations. In mlxsw it will
cause the driver to stop offloading the child in question.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
