SR-IOV virtual functions and NPAR partitions with PCI - function numbers of 8 and above will be named more predictably, and - udev may generate names based on the PCI slot number in some cases - where it previously did not. + builtin will name network interfaces differently than in previous + versions for virtual network interfaces created with SR-IOV and NPAR + and for devices where the PCI network controller device does not have + a slot number associated. + + SR-IOV virtual devices are now named based on the name of the parent + interface, with a suffix of "v", where is the virtual device + number. Previously those virtual devices were named as if completely + independent. + + The ninth and later NPAR virtual devices will be named following the + scheme used for the first eight NPAR partitions. Previously those + devices were not renamed and the kernel default (eth) was used. + + "net_id" will also generate names for PCI devices where the PCI + network controller device does not have an associated slot number + itself, but one of its parents does. Previously those devices were + not renamed and the kernel default (eth) was used. * AF_INET and AF_INET6 are dropped from RestrictAddressFamilies= in systemd-logind.service. Since v235, IPAddressDeny=any has been set to
