Currently, the user can modify device's receive buffer size, modify the mapping between QoS priority groups to buffers and change the buffer state to become lossy/lossless via pfc command. However, the shared receive buffer pool alignments, as a result of such commands, is performed only when the shared buffer is in FW ownership. When a user changes the mapping of priority groups or buffer size, the shared buffer is moved to SW ownership. Therefore, for devices that support shared buffer, handle the shared buffer alignments in accordance to user's desired configurations. Meaning, the following will be performed: 1. For every change of buffer's headroom, recalculate the size of shared buffer to be equal to "total_buffer_size" - "new_headroom_size". The new shared buffer size will be split in ratio of 3:1 between lossy and lossless pools, respectively. 2. For each port buffer change, count the number of lossless buffers. If there is only one lossless buffer, then set its lossless pool usage threshold to be infinite. Otherwise, if there is more than one lossless buffer, set a usage threshold for each lossless buffer. While at it, add more verbosity to debug prints when handling user commands, to assist in future debug.

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.
