<para>Network interfaces names and MAC addresses may be generated based on certain stable interface
|

|
|
|
|
attributes. This is possible when there is enough information about the device to generate those
|
|
|
|
|
|
attributes and the use of this information is configured. This page describes interface naming, i.e. what
|
|
|
|
|
|
possible names may be generated. Those names are generated by the

<para>Names and MAC addresses are derived from various stable device metadata attributes. Newer versions
|
|
|
|
|
|
of udev take more of these attributes into account, improving (and thus possibly changing) the names and
|
|
|
|
|
|
addresses used for the same devices. Different versions of those generation rules are called "naming
|
|
|
|
|
|
schemes". The default naming scheme is chosen at compilation time. Usually this will be the latest
|
|
|
|
|
|
implemented version, but it is also possible to set one of the older versions to preserve
|
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility. This may be useful for example for distributions, which may introduce new versions of
|
2019-06-27 07:54:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
systemd in stable releases without changing the naming scheme. The naming scheme may also be overridden
|

|
|

using the <varname>net.naming-scheme=</varname> kernel command line switch, see

udev: net_id: Use devicetree aliases when available
Devicetree firmware contains an "aliases" node, containing various
aliases for devices described by the firmware. For ethernet devices,
these are named "ethernet0", "ethernet1", etc. They provide a convenient
means of numbering ethernet devices, especially on systems with no other
stable number other than the address. In particular, U-Boot already uses
these aliases to name its ethernet devices.
Previously, there have been attempts (such as [1]) to add support for
these aliases to Linux. However, these patches have been rejected
because it is the maintainers' view that naming policy be left to
userspace. Well, systemd is userspace, so here we are.
In terms of implementation, apparently there can be multiple device
trees at once. I have decided to dodge this problem for now, and just
use /proc/device-tree. If it is desired to support multiple device trees
later, then the scheme can be modified to include the device tree's
index. For example, /sys/firmware/devicetree/base2/aliases/ethernet3
might be named enb2d3.
For the moment we only support "ethernetX" aliases. Future patches might
want to also handle "canX" and "wifiX".
It is common on boards with only one ethernet device to use an alias of
just "ethernet". In this case, the index is an implicit 0. In case the
author of the firmware made a mistake, we check to ensure that aliases
of "ethernet" and "ethernet0" do not both exist.

udev: fix slot based network names on s390
The s390 PCI driver assigns the hotplug slot name from the
function_id attribute of the PCI device using a 8 char hexadecimal
format to match the underlying firmware/hypervisor notation.
Further, there's always a one-to-one mapping between a PCI
function and a hotplug slot, as individual functions can
hot plugged even for multi-function devices.
As the generic matching code will always try to parse the slot
name in /sys/bus/pci/slots as a positive decimal number, either
a wrong value might be produced for ID_NET_NAME_SLOT if
the slot name consists of decimal numbers only, or none at all
if a character in the range from 'a' to 'f' is encountered.
Additionally, the generic code assumes that two interfaces
share a hotplug slot, if they differ only in the function part
of the PCI address. E.g., for an interface with the PCI address
dddd:bb:aa.f, it will match the device to the first slot with
an address dddd:bb:aa. As more than one slot may have this address
for the s390 PCI driver, the wrong slot may be selected.
To resolve this we're adding a new naming schema version with the
flag NAMING_SLOT_FUNCTION_ID, which enables the correct matching
of hotplug slots if the device has an attribute named function_id.
The ID_NET_NAME_SLOT property will only be produced if there's
a file /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slotname> where <slotname> matches
the value of /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../function_id in 8 char
hex notation.

udev: net_id: Use devicetree aliases when available
Devicetree firmware contains an "aliases" node, containing various
aliases for devices described by the firmware. For ethernet devices,
these are named "ethernet0", "ethernet1", etc. They provide a convenient
means of numbering ethernet devices, especially on systems with no other
stable number other than the address. In particular, U-Boot already uses
these aliases to name its ethernet devices.
Previously, there have been attempts (such as [1]) to add support for
these aliases to Linux. However, these patches have been rejected
because it is the maintainers' view that naming policy be left to
userspace. Well, systemd is userspace, so here we are.
In terms of implementation, apparently there can be multiple device
trees at once. I have decided to dodge this problem for now, and just
use /proc/device-tree. If it is desired to support multiple device trees
later, then the scheme can be modified to include the device tree's
index. For example, /sys/firmware/devicetree/base2/aliases/ethernet3
might be named enb2d3.
For the moment we only support "ethernetX" aliases. Future patches might
want to also handle "canX" and "wifiX".
It is common on boards with only one ethernet device to use an alias of
just "ethernet". In this case, the index is an implicit 0. In case the
author of the firmware made a mistake, we check to ensure that aliases
of "ethernet" and "ethernet0" do not both exist.

<para>With these options, users can set an allowlist or denylist for sysfs attributes. To create
|
|
|
|
|
|
an allowlist, the user needs to set <varname>ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW=0</varname> for the device and then list
|
|
|
|
|
|
the allowed attributes with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_<replaceable>sysfsattr</replaceable>=1</varname>
|
|
|
|
|
|
options. In case of a denylist, the user needs to provide the list of denied attributes with
|
|
|
|
|
|
the <varname>ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_<replaceable>sysfsattr</replaceable>=0</varname> options.</para>
