====================
mlxsw: Remove size limitations on egress descriptor buffer

Petr says:

Spectrum machines have two resources related to keeping packets in an
internal buffer: bytes (allocated in cell-sized units) for packet payload,
and descriptors, for keeping headers. Currently, mlxsw only configures the
bytes part of the resource management.

Spectrum switches permit a full parallel configuration for the descriptor
resources, including port-pool and port-TC-pool quotas. By default, these
are all configured to use pool 14, with an infinite quota. The ingress pool
14 is then infinite in size.

However, egress pool 14 has finite size by default. The size is chip
dependent, but always much lower than what the chip actually permits. As a
result, we can easily construct workloads that exhaust the configured
descriptor limit.

Going forward, mlxsw will have to fix this issue properly by maintaining
descriptor buffer sizes, TC bindings, and quotas that match the
architecture recommendation. Short term, fix the issue by configuring the
egress descriptor pool to be infinite in size as well. This will maintain
the same configuration philosophy, but will unlock all chip resources to be
usable.

In this patchset, patch #1 first adds the "desc" field into the pool
configuration register. Then in patch #2, the new field is used to
configure both ingress and egress pool 14 as infinite.

In patches #3 and #4, add a selftest that verifies that a large burst
can be absorbed by the shared buffer. This test specifically exercises a
scenario where descriptor buffer is the limiting factor and the test
fails without the above patches.

      selftests: mlxsw: Add a test for soaking up a burst of traffic · 1d267aa8
      Petr Machata authored 
      Add a test that sends 1Gbps of traffic through the switch, into which it
then injects a burst of traffic and tests that there are no drops.

      selftests: forwarding: lib: Add start_traffic_pktsize() helpers · 1531cc63
      Petr Machata authored 
      Add two helpers, start_traffic_pktsize() and start_tcp_traffic_pktsize(),
that allow explicit overriding of packet size. Change start_traffic() and
start_tcp_traffic() to dispatch through these helpers with the default
packet size.

      Spectrum machines have two resources related to keeping packets in an
internal buffer: bytes (allocated in cell-sized units) for packet payload,
and descriptors, for keeping metadata. Currently, mlxsw only configures the
bytes part of the resource management.

Spectrum switches permit a full parallel configuration for the descriptor
resources, including port-pool and port-TC-pool quotas. By default, these
are all configured to use pool 14, with an infinite quota. The ingress pool
14 is then infinite in size.

However, egress pool 14 has finite size by default. The size is chip
dependent, but always much lower than what the chip actually permits. As a
result, we can easily construct workloads that exhaust the configured
descriptor limit.

Fix the issue by configuring the egress descriptor pool to be infinite in
size as well. This will maintain the configuration philosophy of the
default configuration, but will unlock all chip resources to be usable.

In the code, include both the configuration of ingress and ingress, mostly
for clarity.

      Petr Machata authored 
      SBPR, or Shared Buffer Pools Register, configures and retrieves the shared
buffer pools and configuration. The desc field determines whether the
configuration relates to the byte pool or the descriptor pool.
