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).

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.
