kay.sievers@vrfy.org f61d732a02 [PATCH] hmm, handle net devices with udev?
Hmm, Arndt Bergmann sent a patch like this one a few weeks ago and
I want to bring the question back, if we want to handle net device
naming with udev.

With this patch it is actually possible to specify something like this
in udev.rules:

  KERNEL="dummy*", SYSFS{address}="00:00:00:00:00:00", SYSFS{features}="0x0", NAME="blind%n"
  KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91", NAME="private"

and you will get:

  [root@pim udev.kay]# cat /proc/net/dev
  Inter-|   Receive                                                | Transmit

   blind0:       0      0    0    0    0     0          0         0       0       0    0    0    0     0       0          0


The udevinfo program is also working:

  [root@pim udev.kay]# ./udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/net/private
    looking at class device '/sys/class/net/private':
      SYSFS{addr_len}="6"
      SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91"
      SYSFS{broadcast}="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
      SYSFS{features}="0x3a9"
      SYSFS{flags}="0x1003"
      SYSFS{ifindex}="2"
      SYSFS{iflink}="2"
      SYSFS{mtu}="1500"
      SYSFS{tx_queue_len}="1000"
      SYSFS{type}="1"

  follow the class device's "device"
    looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0':
      BUS="pci"
      ID="0000:02:01.0"
      SYSFS{class}="0x020000"
      SYSFS{detach_state}="0"
      SYSFS{device}="0x101e"
      SYSFS{irq}="11"
      SYSFS{subsystem_device}="0x0549"
      SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}="0x1014"
      SYSFS{vendor}="0x8086"


The matching device will be renamed to the given name. The device name
will not be put into the udev database, cause the kernel renames the
device and the sysfs name disappears.

I like it, cause it plugs in nicely. We have all the naming features
and sysfs queries and walks inside of  udev. The sysfs timing races
are already solved and the management tools are working for net devices
too. nameif can only match the MAC address now. udev can match any sysfs
value of the device tree the net device is connected to.
But right, net devices do not have device nodes :)
