[pve-devel] [PATCH ifupdown2 0/5] d/patches: improve altname support

[Christoph Heiss <c.heiss@proxmox.com>]

Another round of some fixups and improvements to altname support.

First off, amend the initial support patch to add translation to some
more places, especially around sysfs access - as that always requires
the primary interface name.

Next, replace quite a few sysfs usages with netlink, making it more
robust and adding support for altnames directly, as netlink does it also
transparently under the hood.

Failing to set the MTU with altnames was originally reported on the
community forum [0], which in turn also led me to the ifalias change.

Testing
=======

These two changes can be easily tested by adding e.g.

  mtu 9000
  alias foobar

to a stanza for an interface under its altname, afterwards checking with

  `ip link show <name>`

for the MTU and alias.
