** Description changed:
+ [SRU justification]
+ Without this fix, duplicate entries may render the system unbootable
+
+ [Impact]
+ Under certain race condition, the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules may contain duplicate entries.
+
+ [Fix]
+ Verify the content of the file prior to re-writing the rule.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ $ rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
+ $ typeset -i I=0 && while (( I <= 20));do echo add >
/sys/class/net/eth0/uevent ;((I+=1));done
+
+ Without the patch, there will be 20 identical entries in the file.
+
+ [Regression]
+ None expected, the modification is already in Vivid, Wily and Debian
+
+ [Original description of the problem]
After a fresh installation of 14.04, I had various troubles with the ethernet
NIC. Long story short, there were duplicate entries in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules .
The 70-persistent-net.rules file has 5 entries for a 4 port NIC (Broadcom
Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe).
