When creating virtual functions, create the "virtfn%u" and "physfn" links in sysfs before attaching the driver. Without this, there is a race when the driver attaches to the new virtual network interface and sends out an "add" udev event, and the network interface naming software (biosdevname or systemd, for example) tries to look at these links.
