Revert "network: add "mac" to alternatives name policy by default" (s…
…ystemd#33227) This reverts commit 0f5a529. As discussed in systemd#33104, that patch caused problems in Debian which has a udev drop-in with [Match] Path=*-usb-* [Link] NamePolicy=mac The rename fails: eth0: Policy *mac* yields "enx00*". eth0: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules:11 NAME 'enx00*' eth0: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-systemd.rules:69 RUN '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl --prefix=/net/ipv4/conf/$name --prefix=/net/ipv4/neigh/$ eth0: sd-device: Created database file '/run/udev/data/n9' for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:01.0/0000:05:00.0/0000: eth0: Failed to rename network interface 9 from 'eth0' to 'enx00*': File exists eth0: sd-device: Created database file '/run/udev/data/n9' for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:01.0/0000:05:00.0/0000: eth0: Failed to process device, ignoring: File exists Two network interfaces have the same MAC and it's not marked NET_ADDR_STOLEN. In this case the conflict is very visible because it causes the rename to fail, but it would also occur in other cases, for alternative names. A patch has been submitted for r8152 to properly set NET_ADDR_STOLEN: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/[email protected]/T/#u Let's revert this now to avoid a regression. We can try again after the kernel issue is resolved. Closes systemd#33104.
