Linux kernel source tree
359724fa3a
idpf registers multiple netdevs (virtual ports) for one PCI function,
but it does not provide a way for userspace to distinguish them with
sysfs attributes. Per Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net, it is
a bug not to set dev_port for independent ports on the same PCI bus,
device and function.
Without dev_port set, systemd-udevd's default naming policy attempts
to assign the same name ("ens2f0") to all four idpf netdevs on my test
system and obviously fails, leaving three of them with the initial
eth<N> name.
With this patch, systemd-udevd is able to assign unique names to the
netdevs (e.g. "ens2f0", "ens2f0d1", "ens2f0d2", "ens2f0d3").
The Intel-provided out-of-tree idpf driver already sets dev_port. In
this patch I chose to do it in the same place in the idpf_cfg_netdev
function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
