Currently mlxsw distributes sent traffic among all the available send queues. That includes control traffic as well as EMADs, which are used for configuration of the device. However because all the queues have the same traffic class of 3, they all end up being directed to the same traffic class buffer. If the control traffic in the buffer cannot be serviced quickly enough, the EMAD traffic might be shut out, which causes transient failures, typically in FDB maintenance, counter upkeep and other periodic work. To address this issue, dedicate SDQ 0 to EMAD traffic, with TC 0. Distribute the control traffic among the remaining queues, which are left with their current TC 3.

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.
