udev: net_id: Improve predictable names for SR-IOV virtual devices
With PCI SR-IOV, a number of virtual network devices can be enabled, all of which share the same physical network device. Currently, udev generates names for SR-IOV virtual functions as if they were independent network devices. With this change, the predictable network device naming code will check if a network device is an SR-IOV virtual device, and will generate a name based on the physical PCI device plus a "v%u" suffix. This should improve readability and predictability of device names. Here is an example of how this change would affect naming: before patch | after patch ----------------------------- eno1 | eno1 onboard NIC, physical function enp101s0f0 | eno1v0 onboard NIC, SR-IOV virtual func 0 enp101s0f1 | eno1v1 onboard NIC, SR-IOV virtual func 1
