Bug Description
Note: I'm not sure whether this is really a kernel bug or something within systemd/udev, please advise how to further debug.
On a system with two GE ports, instead of getting named eno1 and eno2, I am getting eno1 and renameN. Where N starts at 3 and increases by 2 on every iteration of doing "rmmod igb;modprobe igb". The corresponding lines in dmesg look like this:
[ 2.748429] igb 0000:07:00.0: added PHC on eth0
[ 2.748431] igb 0000:07:00.0: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection
[ 2.748433] igb 0000:07:00.0: eth0: (PCIe:5.0Gb/s:Width x4) 00:25:90:d7:60:8e
[ 2.748505] igb 0000:07:00.0: eth0: PBA No: 106100-000
[ 2.748506] igb 0000:07:00.0: Using MSI-X interrupts. 8 rx queue(s), 8 tx queue(s)
[ 2.802555] igb 0000:07:00.1: added PHC on eth1
[ 2.802557] igb 0000:07:00.1: Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Connection
[ 2.802559] igb 0000:07:00.1: eth1: (PCIe:5.0Gb/s:Width x4) 00:25:90:d7:60:8f
[ 2.802631] igb 0000:07:00.1: eth1: PBA No: 106100-000
[ 2.802632] igb 0000:07:00.1: Using MSI-X interrupts. 8 rx queue(s), 8 tx queue(s)
[ 2.803618] igb 0000:07:00.0 eno1: renamed from eth0
[ 2.833208] igb 0000:07:00.1 rename3: renamed from eth1
What is even worse: Sometimes the naming changes and the second interface ends up as eno1 while the first interface is named renameN with an even N. The bad thing about this version is that when it happens while the installer is running, the installer will setup "rename2" as the primary network interface, which works fine for the installation itself, but after installation is finished and the first boot of the installed system happens, that interface will be gone, leaving the system without network connectivity.
