- Why I did it
Support DSCP remapping in dual ToR topo on T0 switch for SKU Mellanox-SN4600c-C64, Mellanox-SN4600c-D48C40, Mellanox-SN2700, Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8.
- How I did it
Regarding buffer settings, originally, there are two lossless PGs and queues 3, 4. In dual ToR scenario, the lossless traffic from the leaf switch to the uplink of the ToR switch can be bounced back.
To avoid PFC deadlock, we need to map the bounce-back lossless traffic to different PGs and queues. Therefore, 2 additional lossless PGs and queues are allocated on uplink ports on ToR switches.
On uplink ports, map DSCP 2/6 to TC 2/6 respectively
On downlink ports, both DSCP 2/6 are still mapped to TC 1
Buffer adjusted according to the ports information:
Mellanox-SN4600c-C64:
56 downlinks 50G + 8 uplinks 100G
Mellanox-SN4600c-D48C40, Mellanox-SN2700, Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8:
24 downlinks 50G + 8 uplinks 100G

Why I did it
Support zero buffer profiles
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
Dependency: It depends on Azure/sonic-swss#1910 and submodule advancing PR once the former merged.
How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
How to verify it
Regression test.
Unit test in sonic-cfggen
Run regression test and manually test.

QOS tables in config db used ABNF format i.e "[TABLE_NAME|name] to refer fieldvalue to other qos tables.
Example:
Config DB:
"Ethernet92|3": {
"scheduler": "[SCHEDULER|scheduler.1]",
"wred_profile": "[WRED_PROFILE|AZURE_LOSSLESS]"
},
"Ethernet0|0": {
"profile": "[BUFFER_PROFILE|ingress_lossy_profile]"
},
"Ethernet0": {
"dscp_to_tc_map": "[DSCP_TO_TC_MAP|AZURE]",
"pfc_enable": "3,4",
"pfc_to_queue_map": "[MAP_PFC_PRIORITY_TO_QUEUE|AZURE]",
"tc_to_pg_map": "[TC_TO_PRIORITY_GROUP_MAP|AZURE]",
"tc_to_queue_map": "[TC_TO_QUEUE_MAP|AZURE]"
},
This format is not consistent with other DB schema followed in sonic.
And also this reference in DB is not required, This is taken care by YANG "leafref".
Removed this format from all platform files to consistent with other sonic db schema.
Example:
"Ethernet92|3": {
"scheduler": "scheduler.1",
"wred_profile": "AZURE_LOSSLESS"
},

To support dynamic buffer calculation.
This PR also depends on the following PRs for sub modules
- [sonic-swss: [buffermgr/bufferorch] Support dynamic buffer calculation #1338](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/pull/1338)
- [sonic-swss-common: Dynamic buffer calculation #361](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss-common/pull/361)
- [sonic-utilities: Support dynamic buffer calculation #973](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/973)
**- How I did it**
1. Introduce field `buffer_model` in `DEVICE_METADATA|localhost` to represent which buffer model is running in the system currently:
- `dynamic` for the dynamic buffer calculation model
- `traditional` for the traditional model in which the `pg_profile_lookup.ini` is used
2. Add the tables required for the feature:
- ASIC_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/asic_table.j2
- PERIPHERAL_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/peripheral_table.j2
- PORT_PERIPHERAL_TABLE on a per-platform basis in device/\<vendor\>/\<platform\>/port_peripheral_config.j2 for each platform with gearbox installed.
- DEFAULT_LOSSLESS_BUFFER_PARAMETER and LOSSLESS_TRAFFIC_PATTERN in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
- Add lossless PGs (3-4) for each port in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
3. Copy the newly introduced j2 files into the image and rendering them when the system starts
4. Update the CLI options for buffermgrd so that it can start with dynamic mode
5. Fetches the ASIC vendor name in orchagent:
- fetch the vendor name when creates the docker and pass it as a docker environment variable
- `buffermgrd` can use this passed-in variable
6. Clear buffer related tables from STATE_DB when swss docker starts
7. Update the src/sonic-config-engine/tests/sample_output/buffers-dell6100.json according to the buffer_config.j2
8. Remove buffer pool sizes for ingress pools and egress_lossy_pool
Update the buffer settings for dynamic buffer calculation
Calculate pool size in t1 as 24 * downlink port + 8 * uplink port
- Take both port and peer MTU into account when calculating headroom
- Worst case factor is decreased to 50%
- Mellanox-SN2700-C28D8 t0, assume 48 * 50G/5m + 8 * 100G/40m ports
- Mellanox-SN2700 (C32)
- t0: 16 * 100G/5m + 16 * 100G/40m
- t1: 16 * 100G/40m + 16 * 100G/300m
