Linux kernel source tree

When port buffer headroom changes, port_update_shared_buffer()
recalculates the shared buffer size and splits it in a 3:1 ratio
(lossy:lossless) - Currently, the calculation is:
lossless = shared / 4;
lossy = (shared / 4) * 3;
Meaning, the calculation dropped the remainder of shared % 4 due to
integer division, unintentionally reducing the total shared buffer
by up to three cells on each update. Over time, this could shrink
the buffer below usable size.
Fix it by changing the calculation to:
lossless = shared / 4;
lossy = shared - lossless;
This retains all buffer cells while still approximating the
intended 3:1 split, preventing capacity loss over time.
While at it, perform headroom calculations in units of cells rather than
in bytes for more accurate calculations avoiding extra divisions.

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 reStructuredText 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.
