On ingress, a network device such as a switch assigns to packets priority based on various criteria. Common options include interpreting PCP and DSCP fields according to user configuration. When a packet egresses the switch, a reverse process may rewrite PCP and/or DSCP values according to packet priority. The following three functions support a) obtaining a DSCP-to-priority map or vice versa, and b) finding default-priority entries in APP database. The DCB subsystem supports for APP entries a very generous M:N mapping between priorities and protocol identifiers. Understandably, several (say) DSCP values can map to the same priority. But this asymmetry holds the other way around as well--one priority can map to several DSCP values. For this reason, the following functions operate in terms of bitmaps, with ones in positions that match some APP entry. - dcb_ieee_getapp_dscp_prio_mask_map() to compute for a given netdevice a map of DSCP-to-priority-mask, which ...
