From: Ido Schimmel idosch@mellanox.com

[ Upstream commit bcdd5de80a2275f7879dc278bfc747f1caf94442 ]

In commit 9ffcc3725f09 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Allow packets to be trapped from any PG") I fixed a problem where packets could not be trapped to the CPU due to exceeded shared buffer quotas. The mentioned commit explains the problem in detail.

The problem was fixed by assigning a minimum quota for the CPU port and the traffic class used for scheduling traffic to the CPU.

However, commit 117b0dad2d54 ("mlxsw: Create a different trap group list for each device") assigned different traffic classes to different packet types and rendered the fix useless.

Fix the problem by assigning a minimum quota for the CPU port and all the traffic classes that are currently in use.
