[PATCH v8 00/4] Provide netdev naming-policy via sysfs
From: Tom Gundersen
Date: Thu Jul 10 2014 - 17:01:30 EST
Resending only the core changes. These patches alone would already be
very useful to udev. The remaning ones can be reviewed and applied
individually later.
See patch 1 for details.
Cheers,
Tom
Changes since v7:
- drop non-core changes
Changes since v6:
- change alloc_netdev to take the name assign type as an argument.
- introduce an internal assign type NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, which makes
it simpler to split up the patches, but may eventually be dropped.
- introduce a new assign type NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE to indicate to
userspace that the kernel-assigned names are well-behaved.
Tom Gundersen (4):
net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
net: set name assign type for renamed devices
net: set name_assign_type in alloc_netdev()
net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type
