If I revert this patch, in the probe stage, DPDK will not install the default rule which directs packets to Table 1, and dpdk can get packets. The target is to use dpdk as well as action offload together. The setup code is in the function *mlx5_flow_create_esw_table_zero_flow*. Even for running L2FWD, I cannot get a packet from VF rep.
