[ Upstream commit0106668cd2] When trapping packets for on-CPU processing, Spectrum machines differentiate between control and non-control traps. Traffic trapped through non-control traps is treated as data and kept in shared buffer in pools 0-4. Traffic trapped through control traps is kept in the dedicated control buffer 9. The advantage of marking traps as control is that pressure in the data plane does not prevent the control traffic to be processed. When the LLDP trap was introduced, it was marked as a control trap. But then in commitaed4b57211("mlxsw: spectrum: PTP: Hook into packet receive path"), PTP traps were introduced. Because Ethernet-encapsulated PTP packets look to the Spectrum-1 ASIC as LLDP traffic and are trapped under the LLDP trap, this trap was reconfigured as non-control, in sync with the PTP traps. There is however no requirement that PTP traffic be handled as data. Besides, the usual encapsulation for PTP traffic is UDP, not bare Ethernet, and that is in deployments that even need PTP, which is far less common than LLDP. This is reflected by the default policer, which was not bumped up to the 19Kpps / 24Kpps that is the expected load of a PTP-enabled Spectrum-1 switch. Marking of LLDP trap as non-control was therefore probably misguided. In this patch, change it back to control.

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.
