The scale tests are verifying behavior of mlxsw when number of instances of some resource reaches the ASIC capacity. The number of instances is referred to as "target" number. No scale tests so far needed to know this target number to clean up. E.g. the tc_flower simply removes the clsact qdisc that all the tested filters are hooked onto, and that takes care of collecting all the filters. However, for the RIF counter test, which is being added in a future patch, VLAN netdevices are created. These are created as part of the test, but of course the cleanup needs to undo them again. For that it needs to know how many there were. To support this usage, pass the target number to the cleanup callback.

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.
