The current driver maps MQPRIO traffic classes directly 1:1 to the internal hardware queues (TC0 maps to hardware queue 0, etc). This direct mapping requires the internal hardware queues to be reconfigured from lossless to lossy and vice versa when necessary. This involves reconfiguring internal buffer thresholds which is disruptive and not always reliable. Implement a new scheme to map TCs to internal hardware queues by matching up their PFC requirements. This will eliminate the need to reconfigure a hardware queue internal buffers at run time. After remapping, the NIC is closed and opened for the new TC to hardware queues to take effect. This patch only adds the basic mapping logic.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
