Add a qos container to every interface, with names and types from IEEE 802.1Q-2022 wherever the standard defines the concept. The defaults are a complete pipeline, trust DSCP then PCP and one traffic class per transmit queue per Table 8-5, rendered on every physical port from boot, which retires the 25-mqprio script. Ingress classification is programmed through the kernel's DCB APP table and apptrust list. Few drivers have those operations, so when the calls fail the same maps are rendered as 'tc flower' rules on the port's ingress, in trust order, setting the skb priority; on a NIC or SoC MAC that covers all traffic, on a switch the CPU path. The orders a driver accepts cannot be queried, so a table keyed by driver name reports them as a capability. The traffic class table is programmed as 'tc mqprio' with 'hw 1', else as 'tc ets' in the kernel, which numbers bands the opposite way so the map, quanta and strict count invert. A single-queue port has no queue structure to respect and gets the kernel's eight classes; the root qdisc tells where it ended up and is reported as the offload capability. Strict classes must be the highest-numbered ones, the only layout ets can express. Egress remarking uses the same DCB table via 'dcb rewr'; without it DSCP is rewritten with 'tc pedit' on egress, PCP has no software counterpart since act_vlan cannot change the priority alone. Policing and storm control are omitted for now. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
A 4xx or 5xx from rousette carries the offending node and reason in the response body, which the exception message drops. Print it before raising. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
The QoS model has no test coverage. The tests run on any target: the software rendering is verified where mqprio and DCB are not offloaded, the hardware tables where they are, and DSCP classification end to end through a routed VLAN interface. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Update QoS page, which so far has covered only the Marvell hardware defaults and the hard-coded VLAN PCP mapping. Rewrite it around the new infix-if-qos.yang model, with the IEEE 802.1Q Table 8-5 factory default, the Table 34-1 layout for reserved streams and what offload capabilities mean on hardware with and without DCB support.

Figures are centered on the page, tables were left-aligned. The old .center-table class was never used; a rule on Material's table wrapper centers every table without markup. Material also gives every header cell a 5rem minimum width, so a nine column table of single digits overflows the page. Let headers size to their content.

The mv88e6xxx driver has no DCB ops, so on 88E6390 and 88E6393X boards
the trust order, priority maps and remarking only reached frames that
passed the CPU. Frames the switch forwarded port to port were
classified by the chip defaults and never remarked.
Add DSA support for the PCP APP selector and the DCB rewrite table, and
mv88e6xxx ops for the per-port PCP and DSCP tables, InitialPri/TagIfBoth
as trust order, the default priority, and the egress PCP and DSCP
tables. The mqprio map is pushed into the tables as queue priority, so
the traffic class table applies to forwarded frames too. The scheduler
stays at the chip default WRR.
Frames the CPU sends bypass the switch tables, so their DSCP is still
remarked by the kernel on DSA ports. Frames the CPU receives carried a
stale priority: tag_dsa read the DSA tag after stripping it, picking up
a byte of the source MAC address instead, which only showed once the
software classifier no longer overwrote it.
The renderer and the operational datastore now treat the driver as DCB
capable with all four trust orders:
dcb apptrust set dev e1 order dscp pcp
dcb app add dev e1 pcp-prio 5nd:5 dscp-prio 46:5 default-prio 2
dcb rewr add dev e2 prio-pcp 5:5nd prio-dscp 5:40

Bridge two ports and send frames through the switch, so on a switch chip they never pass the CPU and only the hardware tables can classify and remark them. The DSCP and PCP on the wire at the egress port reveal the priority the ingress port assigned, with trust dscp on untagged frames, trust pcp with a custom map on tagged frames, and remarking off. PCP is only checked where the driver offloads remarking, there is no software path for it. Skipped on a switch port without DCB support, since forwarded frames never see the kernel's rules there.
