Jiri Pirko says:

====================
net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces

In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit:
0123456789012345
enp131s0f1npf0vf6
enp131s0f1npf0vf22

Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
create custom rules to handle them.

Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
 * Type of names:
 *   b<number>                             - BCMA bus core number
 *   c<bus_id>                             - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
 *                                           with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
 *   o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
 *                                         - on-board device index number
 *   s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
 *                                         - hotplug slot index number
 *   x<MAC>                                - MAC address
 *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
 *                                         - PCI geographical location
 *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
 *                                         - USB port number chain
 *   v<slot>                               - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
 *   a<vendor><model>i<instance>           - Platform bus ACPI instance id
 *   i<addr>n<phys_port_name>              - Netdevsim bus address and port name

One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
same time (e.g. pci address/mac).

This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
Main goal is to:
1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands

The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.

See following examples.

$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

-> Add alternative names for dummy0:

$ ip link prop add dummy0 altname someothername
$ ip link prop add dummy0 altname someotherveryveryveryverylongname
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname someothername
    altname someotherveryveryveryverylongname
$ ip link show someotherveryveryveryverylongname
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname someothername
    altname someotherveryveryveryverylongname

-> Add bridge brx, add it's alternative name and use alternative names to
   do enslavement.

$ ip link add name brx type bridge
$ ip link prop add brx altname mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
$ ip link set someotherveryveryveryverylongname master mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master brx state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname someothername
    altname someotherveryveryveryverylongname
3: brx: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname mypersonalsuperspecialbridge

-> Add ipv4 address to the bridge using alternative name:

$ ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
$ ip addr show mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
3: brx: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
    inet 192.168.0.1/24 scope global brx
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

-> Delete one of dummy0 alternative names:

$ ip link prop del dummy0 altname someotherveryveryveryverylongname
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master brx state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname someothername
3: brx: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname mypersonalsuperspecialbridge

-> Add multiple alternative names at once

$ ip link prop add dummy0 altname a altname b altname c altname d
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master brx state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname someothername
    altname a
    altname b
    altname c
    altname d
3: brx: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:67:a9:67:46:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname mypersonalsuperspecialbridge
