Bug Description

[SRU justification]

Impact : As Microsoft expands its public cloud offering it may need to utilize additional MAC address prefixes. If a user launches a Cloud instance when the MAC address is from a Microsoft MAC address that is not in the exclusion list, eth0 is persistantly named for the first NIC seen. If a user rebundles, or the machines has its MAC address changed, it will lose network connectivity.

Fix : Add Microsoft provided and requested MAC addresses to the Hyper-V list of excluded MAC addresses for peristent naming.

Test Case :
 - Launch Hyper-V VM with MAC address in each of the ranges
 - Install updated Udev/systemd
 - Delete any existing udev rule
 - Reboot and confirm that no new UDEV rule was added

Regression : None expected.

[ORIGNIAL BUG REPORT]

Currently /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules includes the following ignored MAC prefix for Hyper-V:

     # ignore Hyper-V virtual interfaces
     ENV{MATCHADDR}=="00:15:5d:*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"

As Microsoft expands its public cloud offering it may need to utilize additional MAC address prefixes. In addition to 00:15:5d, please add the following Microsoft-owned MAC prefixes to this list:

 00-03-FF Microsoft Corporation
 00-0D-3A Microsoft Corp.
 00-1D-D8 Microsoft Corporation
 00-12-5A Microsoft Corporation
 00-17-FA Microsoft Corporation
 00-22-48 Microsoft Corporation
 00-25-AE Microsoft Corporation
 00-50-F2 MICROSOFT CORP.
 28-18-78 Microsoft Corporation
 50-1A-C5 Microsoft
 60-45-BD Microsoft
 7C-1E-52 Microsoft
 7C-ED-8D MICROSOFT
 DC-B4-C4 Microsoft XCG

I added these to my local systemd trusty packaging git to debian/extra/rules/75-persistent-net-generator.rules. We can certainly backport these for Precise.

I really question the utility for SRUing those to Quantal and Saucy, though. These are short-lived releases which aren't interesting in the server world (Quantal is EOL in 2 months), and this is by far not a critical bug.

Stephen, can you please comment on the need for having a 12.10 and 13.10 backport? I assumed that this was needed on all supported releases, but if 12.04 and 14.04 LTS releases are fine that is okay.

FWIW, either way, I was planning on doing the SRU work.

I synced with the Azure team and we think adding this change for just the LTS releases is sufficient.

Thanks!
