Currently, when a user triggers a change in port buffer headroom
(buffers 0-7), the driver checks that the requested headroom does
not exceed the total port buffer size. However, this check does not
take into account the internal buffers (buffers 8-9), which are also
part of the total port buffer. This can result in treating invalid port
buffer change requests as valid, causing unintended changes to the shared
buffer.
To address this, include the internal buffers size in the calculation of
available port buffer space which ensures that port buffer requests do not
exceed the correct limit.
Furthermore, remove internal buffers (8-9) size from the total_size
calculation as these buffers are reserved for internal use and are not
exposed to the user.
While at it, add verbosity to the debug prints in
mlx5e_port_query_buffer() function to ease future debugging.

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.
