    Subject[PATCH v7 30/33] net: ppp - set name assign type
    Date
    The ifname is of the form pppX where X is the unit number. This is even set
    by userspace, or userspace requests the kernel to chose one, which is then
    returned to userspace. Either way the creating user knows the name, so we
    treat both cases as if the user had explicitly chosen the name and label
    it NET_NAME_USER.
