Currently when keeping track of qdiscs, mlxsw notes the TC and priomap corresponding to each qdisc. That is fine currently, as there only ever is one level of qdiscs to update: the direct children of ETS / PRIO. However as deeper structures are made offloadable, ETS would need to update these values for the complete subtree, and interim qdiscs would need to remember to propagate the value. Instead, reverse the responsibility: child qdiscs can ask their parent what their TC and priomap are. ETS / PRIO know the answer right away, or there are defaults for when the root qdisc does not assign them (e.g. when RED is used as root qdisc). When RED and TBF become classful, they will simply forward the request up to their parent.

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.
