NIX uses unique channel numbers to identify the packet sources/sinks like CGX,LBK and SDP. The channel numbers assigned to each block are hardwired in CN9xxx silicon. The fixed channel numbers in CN9xxx are: 0x0 | a << 8 | b - LBK(0..3)_CH(0..63) 0x0 | a << 8 - Reserved 0x700 | a - SDP_CH(0..255) 0x800 | a << 8 | b << 4 | c - CGX(0..7)_LMAC(0..3)_CH(0..15) All the channels in the above fixed enumerator(with maximum number of blocks) are not required since some chips have less number of blocks. For CN10K silicon the channel numbers need to be programmed by software in each block with the base channel number and range of channels. This patch calculates and assigns the channel numbers to efficiently distribute the channel number range(0-4095) among all the blocks. The assignment is made based on the actual number of blocks present and also contiguously leaving no holes. The channel numbers remaining after the math are used as new CPT replay channels present in CN10K. Also since channel numbers are not fixed the transmit channel link number needed by AF consumers is calculated by AF and sent along with nix_lf_alloc mailbox response.

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.
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.
