From b79656ed44c6865e17bcd93472ec39488bcc4984 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leon Romanovsky Date: Mon, 6 May 2019 14:23:04 +0300 Subject: RDMA/ipoib: Allow user space differentiate between valid dev_port Systemd triggers the following warning during IPoIB device load: mlx5_core 0000:00:0c.0 ib0: "systemd-udevd" wants to know my dev_id. Should it look at dev_port instead? See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net for more info. This is caused due to user space attempt to differentiate old systems without dev_port and new systems with dev_port. In case dev_port will be zero, the systemd will try to read dev_id instead. There is no need to print a warning in such case, because it is valid situation and it is needed to ensure systemd compatibility with old kernels.
