Following an upstream Linux kernel change (see link), the mac address of
a iavf port, serviced by a i40e PF driver, is reset to 0 during the
VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES query.
The DPDK iavf driver then assigns a new random mac address.
Such sequence is triggered every time the VF is initialised which means
that, from a DPDK application point of view, the mac address gets changed
for every VF reset event. And obviously, two runs of a DPDK application
get a different mac address.
The i40e PF driver change is pretty obscure but the iavf Linux driver does
set VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_USO.
Announcing such a capability in the DPDK driver does not seem to be an
issue, so do the same in DPDK to keep the legacy behavior of a fixed mac.

Following two upstream Linux kernel changes (see links), the mac address
of a iavf port, serviced by a i40e PF driver, is lost when the DPDK iavf
driver probes the port again (which may be triggered at any point of a
DPDK application life, like when a reset event is triggered by the PF).
A first change results in the mac address of the VF port being reset to 0
during the VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES query.
The i40e PF driver change is pretty obscure but the iavf Linux driver does
set VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_USO.
Announcing such a capability in the DPDK driver does not seem to be an
issue, so do the same in DPDK to keep the legacy behavior of a fixed mac.
Then a second change in the kernel results in the VF mac address being
cleared when the VF driver remove its default mac address.
Removing (unicast or multicast) mac addresses is not done by the kernel VF
driver in general.
The reason why the DPDK driver behaves like this is undocumented
(and lost because the authors are not active anymore).
Aligning DPDK behavior to the upstream kernel driver is safer in any
case.

Question on this: while I understand we don't want to remove the default
mac address, should all other non-default macs not still be removed?

I would say that we don't care.
Right after this, the VF driver sends a VF reset (following your
recent change), and the PF flushes any mac associated to the VF from
hw filters.
The kernel VF driver does nothing about mac addresses when uninitialising.

Seems reasonable to me.
