The PGT (Port Group Table) table maps an index to a bitmap of local ports to which a packet needs to be replicated. This table is used for layer 2 multicast and flooding. In the legacy model, software did not interact with PGT table directly. Instead, it was accessed by firmware in response to registers such as SFTR and SMID. In the new model, the SFTR register is deprecated and software has full control over the PGT table using the SMID register. Use the new PGT APIs to allocate entries for flooding as part of flood tables initialization. Add mlxsw_sp_fid_flood_tables_fini() to free the allocated indexes. In addition, use PGT APIs to add/remove ports from PGT table. The existing code which configures the flood entries via SFTR2 will be removed later.

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.
