** Description changed: SRU justification : The 'addslot' function can return the same value for two or more interfaces (same dev->index_in_slot), causing the interfaces on a given PCI slot get same port number. This could trigger a rename to a different name space (such as rename*) presented on LP: #1284043. Example problematic behavior: # biosdevname -i em1 em1 # biosdevname -i em2 em3 # biosdevname -i em3 em4 # biosdevname -i rename3 em2 - Another customer points: + Another user points: On first reboot the names are different. eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to p4p2 then on next reboot eth0 renamed to p4p1 and eth1 renamed to rename3 Impact : - Without this SRU customer will experience erroneous output from - biosdevname ( renamed interfaces) as noticed on LP: #1293633 and LP: - #1284043 + Without this SRU users will experience erroneous output from biosdevname + ( renamed interfaces) as noticed on LP: #1293633 and LP: #1284043 Fix : Apply patches from upstream https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782145 Test Case : 1) Have one or more PCI ethernet cards attached 2) Have one or more onboard ethernet cards available. 3) Run biosdevname -d and notice the renamed interfaces. If you get some rename* interfaces this bug isn't fixed, if you can see the correct bios hardware names associated with the interface, it's fixed. Regression : None expected Description of the problem : See justification
