一直很好奇，Linux下的eth0， eth1，eth2等是如何生成的~
特别函数：
__dev_get_by_name
通过 eth1 这样的名字，找 struct net_device
分三个步骤：
1. 创建 struct net_device 类型的变量 XA ;
2. 将创建的变量 XA 通过 register_netdevice 函数进行注册；
3. ifconfig ethx up，有了这最后一步，才能在 ifconfig 命令的输出中看到增加的 ethx；
1. 从 alloc_etherdev 开始分析，其实 alloc_etherdev 是一个宏：
alloc_etherdev --> alloc_etherdev_mq --> alloc_etherdev_mqs
最后调用的 alloc_etherdev_mqs 才是一个函数，而这个函数又调用了 alloc_netdev_mqs 函数，具体的操作都是在这个函数中完成的，因此：
alloc_etherdev --> alloc_etherdev_mq --> alloc_etherdev_mqs --> alloc_netdev_mqs
/**
* alloc_etherdev_mqs - Allocates and sets up an Ethernet device
* @sizeof_priv: Size of additional driver-private structure to be allocated
* for this Ethernet device
* @txqs: The number of TX queues this device has.
* @rxqs: The number of RX queues this device has.
*
* Fill in the fields of the device structure with Ethernet-generic
* values. Basically does everything except registering the device.
*
* Constructs a new net device, complete with a private data area of
* size (sizeof_priv). A 32-byte (not bit) alignment is enforced for
* this private data area.
*/
struct net_device *alloc_etherdev_mqs(int sizeof_priv, unsigned int txqs,
unsigned int rxqs)
{
return alloc_netdev_mqs(sizeof_priv, "eth%d", NET_NAME_UNKNOWN,
ether_setup, txqs, rxqs);
}
/**
* alloc_netdev_mqs - allocate network device
* @sizeof_priv: size of private data to allocate space for
* @name: device name format string
* @name_assign_type: origin of device name
* @setup: callback to initialize device
* @txqs: the number of TX subqueues to allocate

对于这两个函数，除了代码中的注释，最重要的就是 alloc_netdev_mqs 的第二个参数 "eth%d" ：
在 alloc_netdev_mqs 中，
因此，此时 alloc_etherdev 返回的 net_device 中的数据成员 name 的值为 "eth%d" （不包含双引号）
2. 从 register_netdevice 开始，步骤一种返回的 struct net_device* 值，刚好是 register_netdevice 函数的参数：
/**
* register_netdevice - register a network device
* @dev: device to register
*
* Take a completed network device structure and add it to the kernel
* interfaces. A %NETDEV_REGISTER message is sent to the netdev notifier
* chain. 0 is returned on success. A negative errno code is returned
* on a failure to set up the device, or if the name is a duplicate.
*
* Callers must hold the rtnl semaphore. You may want
* register_netdev() instead of this.
*
* BUGS:
* The locking appears insufficient to guarantee two parallel registers
* will not get the same name.

至此， 一个 新的 ethx 这样的名字就生成了。
3. ifconfig ethx up，则在 ifconfig 输出中就能够看到它的相关信息了。
