Public bug reported: 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: 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: #293633 and LP: #1284043 Fix : Apply patches from upstream https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782145 Test Case : 1) Having one or more PCI ethernet cards attached 2) Having one or more onboard ethernet cards. 3) Run biosdevname -d and notice the renamed interfaces. I f 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.
