Some VCAP filters utilize resources which are global to the switch, like
for example VCAP IS2 policers take an index into a global policer pool.
In commit c9a7fe1238e5 ("net: mscc: ocelot: add action of police on
vcap_is2"), Xiaoliang expressed this by hooking into the low-level
ocelot_vcap_filter_add_to_block() and ocelot_vcap_block_remove_filter()
functions, and allocating/freeing the policers from there.
Evaluating the code, there probably isn't a better place, but we'll need
to do something similar for the mirror ports, and the code will start to
look even more hacked up than it is right now.
Create two ocelot_vcap_filter_{add,del}_aux_resources() functions to
contain the madness, and pollute less the body of other functions such
as ocelot_vcap_filter_add_to_block().

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.
