Currently, unicast/multicast loopback raw ethernet (non-RDMA) packets
are sent back to the vport. A unicast loopback packet is the packet
with destination MAC address the same as the source MAC address. For
multicast, the destination MAC address is in the vport's multicast
filter list.
Moreover, the local loopback is not needed if there is one or none
user space context.
After this patch, the raw ethernet unicast and multicast local
loopback are disabled by default. When there is more than one user
space context, the local loopback is enabled.
Note that when local loopback is disabled, raw ethernet packets are
not looped back to the vport and are forwarded to the next routing
level (eswitch, or multihost switch, or out to the wire depending on
the configuration).
