  [Impact]
  Incorrect handling of udev events by open-iscsi's net-interface-handler
- results in nameserver and dns search entries being removed from 
+ results in nameserver and dns search entries being removed from
  /etc/resolv.conf and thus potentially breaking dns on a system.
  
  This problem is limited to iscsi-root systems, but is easily tripped
  by common use of linux networking.  This was first discovered on
  Oracle Public Cloud, which utilizes iscsi-root for its systems.
  
  [Test Case]
  1. Start a system with iscsi root.  One such easily obtained environment is 
Oracle Public Cloud.
  2. Collect resolvconf and ifupdown state
-    mkdir before
-    cp -a /run/resolvconf before/run-resolvconf
-    cp /etc/resolv.conf before/etc-resolv.conf
-    cp -a /run/network before/run-network
+    name="before"
+    mkdir $name
+    cp -r /run/resolvconf $name/run-resolvconf
+    cp /etc/resolv.conf $name/etc-resolv.conf
+    cp -r /run/network $name/run-network
  3. Create a tun/tap device
-    sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
+    sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
  4. Remove the tun/tap device.
-    sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
- 5. Collect resolvconf and ifupdown state and compare against '2'.  The 
creation and removal of a tuntap device should not have affected resolvconf or 
ifupdown state.
-    mkdir after
-    cp -a /run/resolvconf after/run-resolvconf
-    cp /etc/resolv.conf after/etc-resolv.conf
-    cp -a /run/network after/run-network
+    sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
+ 5. Collect resolvconf and ifupdown state and compare against '2'.  The 
creation and removal of a tuntap device should not have affected resolvconf or 
ifupdown state.  The 'diff' at the end should not show any differences.
+    name="after"
+    mkdir $name
+    cp -r /run/resolvconf $name/run-resolvconf
+    cp /etc/resolv.conf $name/etc-resolv.conf
+    cp -r /run/network $name/run-network
  
-    diff -Naur before/ after/
+    diff -Naur before/ after/
  
  [Regression Potential]
  The codepath executed was and is entirely limited to systems with iscsi-root.
  So regressions should also be limited as such.  The most likely regression
  would seem to be the failure to add or remove entries to resolvconf for the
  iscsi-root interface.  Before this was happening to often.  A bad fix could
  result in it happening not enough.
  
  [Other Info]
  net-interface-handler is currently executing 'resolvconf -a' on all
  new network interfaces and 'resolvconf -d' on removal of all network
  interfaces.
  
  The problem with that is that an add and remove of any new interface
  will have the result of effectively marking the iscsi-root interface down.
  That includes removing the resolvconf entries for that interface.
  
  This add/remove can happen for any number of reasons.  Two such examples:
-  a.) docker container create/delete
-      - sudo apt-get install -qy docker.io
-      - sudo docker run --rm busybox date
-  b.) add/remove of a tuntap device.
-      - sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
-      - sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
+  a.) docker container create/delete
+      - sudo apt-get install -qy docker.io
+      - sudo docker run --rm busybox date
+  b.) add/remove of a tuntap device.
+      - sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
+      - sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
