I've published biosdevname v0.3.1. This has quite a few changes since the 0.2.4 version published over 3 years ago. Grab it here: http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.1.tar.gz http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.1.tar.gz.sign GIT: http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=summary Highlights: - uses sysfs index and SMBIOS information if available. - The only policies that remain are the new default 'physical' policy that uses sysfs index (SMBIOS), and the historic all_ethN policy that is only usable in non-hotplug environments. - works on SR-IOV devices as well as traditional NICs The naming policy it suggests are as follows: Embedded devices: em<port> Add-in PCI cards: pci<slot>#<port>_<virtual function instance> My goal is to get this into Fedora 15, RHEL 6.x (x TBD), Debian, Ubuntu Natty, openSUSE, and any other distribution that will have it. git shortlog: Gabriel C (1): add make uninstall target Jordan Hargrave (2): fix mmap() return check bump version Matt Domsch (72): Fix 'make deb' so it works. add 'make sdeb' for source debian packages for review include pkg/debian/ in tarball rpm specs: manpages are sometimes automatically compressed rpm spec: fix manpage in %files, add udev version requirement for Fedora update Makefile.in add chassis_label field add smbios_names naming policy ensure display buffer is long enough and zeroed before use bug fix: s/sprintf/snprintf/ leading to SEGV dmidecode: get proper chassis label string naming_policy: fix smbios_names reporting exit with error code if --policy=smbios_names but BIOS doesn't have the info make dev->bios_name[] a pointer udev rules: don't rename, create symlinks in net/by-slot-name and net/by-chassis-label instead strip trailing whitespace from SMBIOS strings remove extra spaces in udev rules, to work around udev bug add intermediary program /lib/udev/netdevice to cycle through biosdevname policies finish fixing up configure/Makefiles start netdevnames at 71; make netdevice exectuable s/chassis_label/smbios_label/ move sysfs reading function from pcmcia to its own file read sysfs label and index files for PCI devices minor cleanups; dead code removal remove generated files from source control configure: note requires pciutils-devel read label and index from sysfs if present add policy=loms, make it default add .gitignore silently handle running in virtualization, bug fix storing sysfs label better configure messages on missing zlib-devel and pciutils-devel fix buglet in add_interface, with thanks to gcc 4.4.5 -Wall don't use perror() to print meaningless warnings to users don't print error opening /dev/mem, as fails on KVM guests bugfixes in reading sysfs files invoke biosdevname directly from udev rule, --policy=loms remove the netdevice script from install add policy=loms to manpage fix Makefile uninstall-local failure fix udev rules typo finish removing netdevice script update changelogs, bump version rename policy=loms to =embedded, use enX instead of lomX make embedded NIC name configurable, default ='en' add --prefix to manpage Use sysfs to find parent devices and slot add --policy=pony (to be renamed later) naming of PCI devices attach VFs to PFs, unparse the lists when debugging assign names to PCI VFs as pci1#0_2 for slot 1, port 0, VF 2 change default embedded prefix to "em" allow all combinations of embedded/add-in, PF or VF, in naming don't use #port nomenclature for embedded devices mark HP embedded NICs as being embedded remove unused function s/pony/physical/ fix udev rule policy name change udev rule to set NAME=, so stateful names persistent names aren't written to 70-persistent-net.rules add additional checks and define _GNU_SOURCE in configure.ac get VF index from sysfs fix getting VF indices from sysfs more fixes for SRIOV detection move setting slot_index into pci.c, fixes failures with SR-IOV devices; other cleanups. don't print to stderr on SIOCGIFHWADDR failure note that index_in_slot is only valid for physical slot PF devices POLICY DELETIONS: delete all policies but all_ethN and physical (default) only print Index in slot where it's valid fix manpage for policy deletions clean up manpage and help text fix use of uses_smbios update manpage with the naming policies in use now document return codes in manpage bump version string to 0.3.1 Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
