The PGID (Port Group ID) table holds port masks for different purposes. The first 72 are reserved for port destination masks, flood masks, and CPU forwarding. The rest are shared between multicast, link aggregation, and virtualization profiles. The GLAG area is reserved to not be used by anything else, since it is a subset of the MCAST area. The arbiter keeps track of which entries are in use. You can ask for a free ID or give back one you are done using. Signed-off-by: Casper Andersson <casper.casan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
