PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5117
issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4057
Before the networkd from 231 was backported, it was possible to use interface alias names that contained a colon, e.g. eth0:1. This is commonly used to make legacy tools like "ifconfig" work, because they *expect* a colon in the interface name.
Martin told me to file a bug for this.
Merging networkd from 231 lead to a regression where valid configs were not accepted anymore after the backport. Please merge that fix for the regression. |
[Impact]
networkd cannot manage interface names with ':' in them. As used commonly, by convention, by other tools.
[Fix]
Update networkd validation routines and test-suites to accept network interface names with ':' in it.
[Testcase]
Create an inteface with ':' in its name and use it anywhere where systemd validates ifname. E.g. Socket BindToDevice definition, nspawn network zone info, Label= in [Address] section in networkd.
[Regression Potential]
This fix will change validation routines, and thus commands or settings that were previously rejected or ignored will now take effect. Specifically Label= settings in networkd may lead to networking conflicts. The justification for this change is that networkd should really use the sensible ':' ifnames that the user is requesting systemd to use.
