Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Offload TC action skbedit priority Petr says: The TC action "skbedit priority P" has the effect of assigning skbprio of P to SKBs that it's applied on. In HW datapath of a switch, the corresponding action is assignment of internal switch priority. Spectrum switches allow setting of packet priority based on an ACL action, which is good match for the skbedit priority gadget. This patchset therefore implements offloading of this action to the Spectrum ACL engine. After a bit of refactoring in patch #1, patch #2 extends the skbedit action to support offloading of "priority" subcommand. On mlxsw side, in patch #3, the QOS_ACTION flexible action is added, with fields necessary for priority adjustment. In patch #4, "skbedit priority" is connected to that action. Patch #5 implements a new forwarding selftest, suitable for both SW- and HW-datapath testing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
