The next patches will convert MDB code to use PGT APIs. The change will
move the responsibility of allocating MID indexes and writing PGT
configurations to hardware to PGT code. As part of this change, most of the
MDB code will be changed and improved.
As a preparation for the above mentioned change, implement
mlxsw_sp_mc_mdb_entry_{init, fini}(). Currently, there is a function
__mlxsw_sp_mc_alloc(), which does not only allocate MID. In addition,
there is no an equivalent function to free the MID. When
mlxsw_sp_port_remove_from_mid() removes the last port, it handles MID
removal. Instead, add init() and fini() functions, which use PGT APIs.
The differences between the existing and the new functions are as follows:
1. Today MDB code does not update SMID when port is added/removed while
multicast is disabled. It maintains a bitmap of ports and once multicast
is enabled, it writes the entry to hardware. Instead, using PGT APIs,
the entry will be updated also when multicast is disabled, but the
mapping between {MAC, FID}->{MID} (is configured using SFD) will be
updated according to multicast state. It means that SMID will be updated
all the time and disable/enable multicast will impact only SFD
configuration.
2. Today the allocation of MID index is done as part of
mlxsw_sp_mc_write_mdb_entry(). The fact that the entry will be
written in hardware all the time, moves the allocation of the index to
be as part of the MDB entry initialization. PGT API is used for the
allocation.
3. Today the update of multicast router ports is done as part of
mlxsw_sp_mc_write_mdb_entry(). Instead, add functions to add/remove
all multicast router ports when entry is first added or removed. When
new multicast router port will be added/removed, the dedicated API will
be used to add/remove it from the existing entries.
4. A list of ports will be stored per MDB entry instead of the exiting
bitmap. The list will contain the multicast router ports and maintain
reference counter per port.
Add mlxsw_sp_mdb_entry_write() which is almost identical to
mlxsw_sp_port_mdb_op(). Use more clear name and align the MID index to
bridge model using PGT API. The existing function will be removed in the
next patches.
Note that PGT APIs configure the firmware using SMID register, like the
driver already does today for MDB entries, so PGT APIs can be used also
using legacy bridge model.

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.
