This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 204-5ubuntu20.15 --------------- systemd (204-5ubuntu20.15) trusty; urgency=medium
* Avoid writing duplicate entries in 70-persistent-net.rules by double checking if the new udev rule has already been written for the given interface. This happens if multiple add events are generated before the write_net_rules script returns and udevd renames the interface. * write_net_rules: Escape '{' and '}' characters as well, to make this work with busybox grep. (LP: #1470399) -- Louis Bouchard <louis.bouch...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 05 Oct 2015 12:34:41 +0200 ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470399 Title: udev duplicates entries in 70-persistent-net.rules Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [SRU justification] Without this fix, duplicate entries may render the system unbootable [Impact] Under certain race condition, the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules may contain duplicate entries. [Fix] Verify the content of the file prior to re-writing the rule. [Test Case] $ rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules $ typeset -i I=0 && while (( I <= 20));do echo add > /sys/class/net/eth0/uevent ;((I+=1));done Without the patch, there will be 20 identical entries in the file. [Regression] None expected, the modification is already in Vivid, Wily and Debian [Original description of the problem] After a fresh installation of 14.04, I had various troubles with the ethernet NIC. Long story short, there were duplicate entries in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules . The 70-persistent-net.rules file has 5 entries for a 4 port NIC (Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe). ----- # PCI device 0x14e4:0x165f (tg3) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:9f:35:09:8f:69", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x14e4:0x165f (tg3) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:9f:35:09:8f:6b", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" # PCI device 0x14e4:0x165f (tg3) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:9f:35:09:8f:68", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x14e4:0x165f (tg3) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:9f:35:09:8f:6a", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" # this last declaration was generated by udev but overrides prior command with same ATTR{address} value. # PCI device 0x14e4:0x165f (tg3) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:9f:35:09:8f:68", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4" ----- lspci shows only 4 PCI devices. ----- $ lspci -vn | grep -A 16 -F '14e4:165f' 01:00.0 0200: 14e4:165f Subsystem: 1028:1f5b Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 41 Memory at 91b30000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91b40000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91b50000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at 91b80000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=17 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Device Serial Number 00-00-54-9f-35-09-8f-68 Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: tg3 -- 01:00.1 0200: 14e4:165f Subsystem: 1028:1f5b Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45 Memory at 91b00000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91b10000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91b20000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at 91bc0000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable- Count=17 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Device Serial Number 00-00-54-9f-35-09-8f-69 Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: tg3 -- 02:00.0 0200: 14e4:165f Subsystem: 1028:1f5b Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 40 Memory at 91a30000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91a40000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91a50000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at 91a80000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable- Count=17 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Device Serial Number 00-00-54-9f-35-09-8f-6a Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: tg3 -- 02:00.1 0200: 14e4:165f Subsystem: 1028:1f5b Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 Memory at 91a00000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91a10000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at 91a20000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at 91ac0000 [disabled] [size=256K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable- Count=17 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [13c] Device Serial Number 00-00-54-9f-35-09-8f-6b Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: tg3 ----- Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1470399/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
