Petr Machata 0fe6402316 mlxsw: spectrum: Set minimum shaper on MC TCs 
An MC-aware mode was introduced in commit 7b81953066 ("mlxsw:
spectrum: Configure MC-aware mode on mlxsw ports"). In MC-aware mode,
BUM traffic gets a special treatment by being assigned to a separate set
of traffic classes 8..15. Pairs of TCs 0 and 8, 1 and 9, etc., are then
configured to strictly prioritize the lower-numbered ones. The intention
is to prevent BUM traffic from flooding the switch and push out all UC
traffic, which would otherwise happen, and instead give UC traffic
precedence.

However strictly prioritizing UC traffic has the effect that UC overload
pushes out all BUM traffic, such as legitimate ARP queries. These
packets are kept in queues for a while, but under sustained UC overload,
their lifetime eventually expires and these packets are dropped. That is
detrimental to network performance as well.

Therefore configure the MC TCs (8..15) with minimum shaper of 200Mbps (a
minimum permitted value) to allow a trickle of necessary control traffic
to get through.

README 

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.
