** Description changed: [ Impact ] * People using ConnecX4 devices [ Regression Potential ] * really low, this is something that comes from upstream codebase and newer versions + * that if statement was for connectX3 devices, because they needed special handling. With version 4, there is a custom PCI function associtated with + each port, so the hacky workaround has to be dropped. + * the regression potential should be none, since the name is reserved, and the hack is now relegated only to the old version 3 and nothing upper [Other info ] Biosdevname is enabled by default for ubuntu14.04.4, We see that the ConnectX3 interface name is pXpX and ConnectX4 interfaces is ethX when biosdevname is enabled we should see all the interfaces like pxpX As for biosdevname user manual : when we ran #biosdevname -i <interface name> , it should return the interface biosdevname the command exit code should return 0 for success see it in the link :http://linux.die.net/man/1/biosdevname. When we run biosdevname on ConnectX4 interface we get return status 2. could you please add support for ConnectX4 devices ? Exit Codes Returns 0 on success, with BIOS-suggested name printed to stdout. Returns 1 on provided device name lookup failure. Returns 2 if system BIOS does not provide naming information. biosdevname requires system BIOS to provide naming information, either via SMBIOS or sysfs files. Returns 3 if not run as root but requires root privileges. Returns 4 if running in a virtual machine. # dpkg --list |grep biosdevname ii biosdevname 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.3 amd64 apply BIOS-given names to network devices # uname -r 4.2.0-24-generic lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
