As explained in commit e612523041 ("mlxsw: spectrum_trap: Introduce
dummy group with thin policer"), the purpose of the "thin" policer is to
pass as less packets as possible to the CPU.
The identifier of this policer is currently set according to the maximum
number of used trap groups, but this is fragile: On Spectrum-1 the
maximum number of policers is less than the maximum number of trap
groups, which might result in an invalid policer identifier in case the
number of used trap groups grows beyond the policer limit.
Solve this by dynamically allocating the policer identifier.

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.
