In vport metadata matching, source port number is replaced by metadata. While FW has no idea about what it is in the metadata, a syndrome will happen. Specify a known origin to avoid the syndrome. However, there is no functional change because ANY_VPORT (0) is filled in flow_source, the same default value as before, as a pre-step towards metadata matching for fast path. There are two other values can be filled in flow_source. When setting 0x1, packet matching this rule is from uplink, while 0x2 is for packet from other local vports.

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.
