Been doing some troubleshooting and we think we've found the fix for this issue:
The script /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan contains the following section of code starting at line 62: if [ ! -e "/sys/class/net/$IFACE" ]; then # Try ifup for the raw device, if it fails then bring it up directly # this is required e.g. there is no configuration for the raw device ifup $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE || ip link set up dev $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE vconfig add $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE $VLANID fi In this case it's trying to bring up a raw device that has already been brought up, causing it to wait forever for the lock on the raw interface to be released. It is however lacking a check on the status of the raw interface, which it shouldn't have to bring up if it already exists. So this problem goes away when we put an if-statement around that section of the code: if [ ! -e "/sys/class/net/$IFACE" ]; then if ! `cat /sys/class/net/$IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE/operstate 2> /dev/null | grep -q "up"`; then # Try ifup for the raw device, if it fails then bring it up directly # this is required e.g. there is no configuration for the raw device ifup $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE || ip link set up dev $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE fi vconfig add $IF_VLAN_RAW_DEVICE $VLANID fi It seems to work perfectly, tested on these cases: 1) a vlan on top of a single enp0sX interface without untagged network configuration 2) a vlan on top of a single enp0sX interface with its own untagged network configuration 3) a vlan on top of a bond of two enp0sX interfaces, without the bond having its own untagged network configuration 4) a vlan on top of a bond of two enp0sX interfaces, with the bond having its own untagged network configuration -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ifupdown in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759573 Title: vlan on top of untagged network won't start Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu: New Status in vlan package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Due to an upgrade (of probably of the ifupdown or vlan package), this specific network configuration no longer comes up automatically: 1) Two or more network interfaces bonded 2) An untagged network configured on that bond 3) A vlan on top of that untagged network What does come up automatically: 1) A single (e.g. unbonded) network interface with an untagged network configured and a vlan on top of that network 2) Two or more network interfaces bonded with a vlan on top of that untagged bond An exact example of the configuration that doesn't work is provided below. It fails to come up correctly, both during boot and manually. The problem seems to be a blocking dependency loop between the bond and the vlan. As recommended in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1636708/comments/13 we added dependency ordering using ifup@.service systemd units for all 4 interfaces, but this did not affect the behaviour in any way.
