This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-raspi/6.8.0-1028.32
kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and
update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the
tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-raspi' to 'verification-done-noble-
linux-raspi'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-
needed-noble-linux-raspi' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux-raspi'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Fix NIC name changes for ice

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Noble:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  This upstream commit introduced that Intel ice driver exports 
"phys_port_name" in sysfs interface:
  37165e3f5664 ice: introduce VF port representor

  And “phys_port_name” is used by systemd when renaming NIC,
  so when upgrading kernel from 5.15 to 6.8, this causes NIC name changes from 
ens2f0:
  kernel: ice 0000:2a:00.0 ens2f0: renamed from eth0
  to ens2f0np0:
  kernel: [   21.217165] ice 0000:2a:00.0 ens2f0np0: renamed from eth0

  In some circumstances, bond won't work after upgrading kernel because
  of its underlying NIC name changed

  [Fix]

  Later, upstream removed exporting "phys_port_name" in sysfs interface in this 
commit:
  41355365d252 ice: Remove ndo_get_phys_port_name

  It's removed in 6.10:
  git tag --contains 41355365d252
  v6.10

  Because phys_port_name is never used, mentioned in the commit message:
  ndo_get_phys_port_name is never actually used, as in switchdev
  devlink is always being created.

  We should make it consistent to not having "npX" in the tail of NIC
  name

  [ Test ]

  Install 5.15 and 6.8 kernels on a machine with Intel ice NIC and see
  if NIC name is the same.

  [ Where the problems could occur ]

  Since the "phys_port_name" is never actually used, it's find to remove
  it.
