2022-07-29 | sfc: use a dynamic m-port for representor RX and set it promisc | Edward Cree | |
Representors do not want to be subject to the PF's Ethernet address filters, since traffic from VFs will typically have a destination either elsewhere on the link segment or on an overlay network. So, create a dynamic m-port with promiscuous and all-multicast filters, and set it as the egress port of representor default rules. Since the m-port is an alias of the calling PF's own m-port, traffic will still be delivered to the PF's RXQs, but it will be subject to the VNRX filter rules installed on the dynamic m-port (specified by the v-port ID field of the filter spec).

2022-07-29 | sfc: insert default MAE rules to connect VFs to representors | Edward Cree | |
Default rules are low-priority switching rules which the hardware uses in the absence of higher-priority rules. Each representor requires a corresponding rule matching traffic from its representee VF and delivering to the PF (where a check on INGRESS_MPORT in __ef100_rx_packet() will direct it to the representor). No rule is required in the reverse direction, because representor TX uses a TX override descriptor to bypass the MAE and deliver directly to the VF. Since inserting any rule into the MAE disables the firmware's own default rules, also insert a pair of rules to connect the PF to the physical network port and vice-versa.
