What I did
Common code update for reclaiming buffer.

  1. Loading zero_profiles when dynamic buffer manager starting
    The buffer manager won't consume it for now. This is to pass Azure CI.
  2. Support removing a buffer pool.
  3. Support exposing maximum PGs and queues per port
  4. Support transmit between bitmap and map string
  5. Change the log severity from ERROR to NOTICE when parsing buffer profile from buffer profile list failed. Typically this can be resolved by retrying.
    The severity of similar log when parsing buffer PG and queue is already NOTICE.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Sun stephens@nvidia.com

Why I did it

To split large PR into smaller ones and help pass CI.

How I verified it

vs test and sonic-mgmt test.

- Remove corresponding flex counter when a buffer pool is removed
- Check maximum priority groups and queues of the port

Don't call SAI API to remove an item if it doesn't exist in the local cache
This means it hasn't been created in SAI yet.
In most cases, this is just to notify orchagent "port ready"

What I did

Reclaim reserved buffer of unused ports for both dynamic and traditional models.
This is done by

Removing lossless priority groups on unused ports.
Applying zero buffer profiles on the buffer objects of unused ports.
In the dynamic buffer model, the zero profiles are loaded from a JSON file and applied to APPL_DB if there are admin down ports.
The default buffer configuration will be configured on all ports. Buffer manager will apply zero profiles on admin down ports.
In the static buffer model, the zero profiles are loaded by the buffer template.

Why I did it

How I verified it

Regression test and vs test.

Details if related
Static buffer model

Remove the lossless buffer priority group if the port is admin-down and the buffer profile aligns with the speed and cable length of the port.

Dynamic buffer model

Handle zero buffer pools and profiles

buffermgrd: add a CLI option to load the JSON file for zero profiles. (done in PR [Reclaiming buffer] Common code update #1996)
Load them from JSON file into the internal buffer manager's data structure (done in PR [Reclaiming buffer] Common code update #1996)
Apply them to APPL_DB once there is at least one admin-down port
Record zero profiles' names in the pool object it references.
By doing so, the zero profile lists can be constructed according to the normal profile list. There should be one profile for each pool on the ingress/egress side.
And then apply the zero profiles to the buffer objects of the port.
Unload them from APPL_DB once all ports are admin-up since the zero pools and profiles are no longer referenced.
Remove buffer pool counter id when the zero pool is removed.
Now that it's possible that a pool will be removed from the system, the watermark counter of the pool is removed ahead of the pool itself being removed.
Handle port admin status change

Currently, there is a logic of removing buffer priority groups of admin down ports. This logic will be reused and extended for all buffer objects, including BUFFER_QUEUE, BUFFER_PORT_INGRESS_PROFILE_LIST, and BUFFER_PORT_EGRESS_PROFILE_LIST.
When the port is admin down,
The normal profiles are removed from the buffer objects of the port
The zero profiles, if provided, are applied to the port
When the port is admin up,
The zero profiles, if applied, are removed from the port
The normal profiles are applied to the port.
Ports orchagent exposes the number of queues and priority groups to STATE_DB.
Buffer manager can take advantage of these values to apply zero profiles on all the priority groups and queues of the admin-down ports.
In case it is not necessary to apply zero profiles on all priority groups or queues on a certain platform, ids_to_reclaim can be customized in the JSON file.
Handle all buffer tables, including BUFFER_PG, BUFFER_QUEUE, BUFFER_PORT_INGRESS_PROFILE_LIST and BUFFER_PORT_EGRESS_PROFILE_LIST
Originally, only the BUFFER_PG table was cached in the dynamic buffer manager.
Now, all tables are cached in order to apply zero profiles when a port is admin down and apply normal profiles when it's up.
The index of such tables can include a single port or a list of ports, like BUFFER_PG|Ethernet0|3-4 or BUFFER_PG|Ethernet0,Ethernet4,Ethernet8|3-4. Originally, there is a logic to handle such indexes for the BUFFER_PG table. Now it is reused and extended to handle all the tables.
[Mellanox] Plugin to calculate buffer pool size:
Originally, buffer for the queue, buffer profile list, etc. were not reclaimed for admin-down ports so they are reserved for all ports.
Now, they are reserved for admin-up ports only.
Accelerate the progress of applying buffer tables to APPL_DB

This is an optimization on top of reclaiming buffer.

Don't apply buffer profiles, buffer objects to APPL_DB before buffer pools are applied when the system is starting.
This is to apply the items in an order from referenced items to referencing items and try to avoid buffer orchagent retrying due to referenced table items.
However, it is still possible that the referencing items are handled before referenced items. In that case, there should not be any error message.
[Mellanox] Plugin to calculate buffer pool size:
Return the buffer pool sizes value currently in APPL_DB if the pool sizes are not able to be calculated due to lacking some information. This typically happens at the system start.
This is to accelerate the progress of pushing tables to APPL_DB.
