[ Upstream commitc1a3d40673] This is meant to make the host side cdc_ncm interface consistently named just like the older CDC protocols: cdc_ether & cdc_ecm (and even rndis_host), which all use 'FLAG_ETHER | FLAG_POINTTOPOINT'. include/linux/usb/usbnet.h: #define FLAG_ETHER 0x0020 /* maybe use "eth%d" names */ #define FLAG_WLAN 0x0080 /* use "wlan%d" names */ #define FLAG_WWAN 0x0400 /* use "wwan%d" names */ #define FLAG_POINTTOPOINT 0x1000 /* possibly use "usb%d" names */ drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c @ line 1711: strcpy (net->name, "usb%d"); ... // heuristic: "usb%d" for links we know are two-host, // else "eth%d" when there's reasonable doubt. userspace // can rename the link if it knows better. if ((dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_ETHER) != 0 && ((dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_POINTTOPOINT) == 0 || (net->dev_addr [0] & 0x02) == 0)) strcpy (net->name, "eth%d"); /* WLAN devices should always be named "wlan%d" */ if ((dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_WLAN) != 0) strcpy(net->name, "wlan%d"); /* WWAN devices should always be named "wwan%d" */ if ((dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_WWAN) != 0) strcpy(net->name, "wwan%d"); So by using ETHER | POINTTOPOINT the interface naming is either usb%d or eth%d based on the global uniqueness of the mac address of the device. Without this 2.5gbps ethernet dongles which all seem to use the cdc_ncm driver end up being called usb%d instead of eth%d even though they're definitely not two-host. (All 1gbps & 5gbps ethernet usb dongles I've tested don't hit this problem due to use of different drivers, primarily r8152 and aqc111) Fixes tag is based purely on git blame, and is really just here to make sure this hits LTS branches newer than v4.5.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
