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 gives for each DSCP value a bitmap of priorities related to that DSCP value by APP, along the lines of dcb_ieee_getapp_mask(). - dcb_ieee_getapp_prio_dscp_mask_map() similarly to compute for a given netdevice a map from priorities to a bitmap of DSCPs. - dcb_ieee_getapp_default_prio_mask() which finds all default-priority rules for a given port in APP database, and returns a mask of priorities allowed by these default-priority rules.
