Issue

Description of problem: Accelerated Network in Azure produces hv_netvsc adapter and mlx VF adapter with the same MAC address. The azure cloud-init produces ifcfg for the hv_netvsc with HWADDR. When systemd-udev runs it generates a rename error trying to name the mlx device the same name as assigned to the hv_netvsc device. The goal of this bug is to find out what is needed to make system-udevd accomodate the accelerated networking in Azure where hv_netvsc and mlx interfaces have the same MAC address. So far I can not see a solution that would stop systemd-udev from trying to name the mlx adapter based on what is in ifcfg-* with it's HWADDR even when there are MATCH's to exclude the mlx adapter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL8.8 How reproducible: Create azure VM with accelerated network adapter and reboot after the install,then find errors like: Jul 17 21:55:21 novo-rhel8-new systemd-udevd[623]: Error changing net interface name 'eth0' to 'net0': File exists Steps to Reproduce: Make Azure VM with: "imageReference": { "communityGalleryImageId": null, "exactVersion": "8.7.2023022801", "id": null, "offer": "RHEL", "publisher": "RedHat", "sharedGalleryImageId": null, "sku": "87-gen2", "version": "latest" } , VM using Standard_D2s_v3 $ az network nic show -g (username's-rg) --name rhel8-test779 --query "enableAcceleratedNetworking" true Deploy then reboot after the deployment so that the system boots with the ifcfg-eth0 added by cloud-init. Actual results: RHEL VM should have accelerated networking name hv_netvsc device eth0 name the mlx device enP* not assign an ip address to the mlx device properly linked the mlx and hv_netvsc (master eth0 for enP* device) e.g. ip a 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 60:45:bd:eb:12:ad brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.4/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global noprefixroute eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::6245:bdff:feeb:12ad/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: enP28653s1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master eth0 state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 60:45:bd:eb:12:ad brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enP28653p0s2 ethtool -i eth0 |head -2 driver: hv_netvsc version: 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7.x86_64 After the reboot, /var/log/messages contains: Jul 15 15:04:04 test systemd-udevd[823]: Error changing net interface name 'enP65246s1' to 'eth0': File exists Jul 15 15:04:04 test systemd-udevd[823]: could not rename interface '3' from 'enP65246s1' to 'eth0': File exists WHAT CAN BE ADDED TO CONFIGURATION TO STOP system-udev FROM TRYING TO NAME THE mlx ADAPTER BASED ON HWADDR IN /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*? Expected results: No error. Additional info: I also tried adding the following to ifcfg while changing from using eth0 name for the hv_netvsc device: MATCH_PATH='!-pci' MATCH_DRIVER="hv_netvsc" Here is how I did that since the Azure instance's cloud-init overwrites any changes to ifcfg-eth0: After cloud-init was run to put it's ifcfg-eth0 in place, I did: rpm -e cloud-init dracut -f -o "network network-manager ifcfg" renamed eth0 to net0, to avoid conflicts clouded by the site of eth* naming. added the MATCH_PATH and MATCH_DRIVER options to ifcfg-net0. systemd-udev still produces rename error.
