** Description changed:

  [impact]
  
  on boot of a specific azure instance, the ID_NET_DRIVER parameter of the
  instance's eth0 interface is not set. That leads to a failure of
  systemd-networkd to take control of the interface after a restart of
  systemd-networkd, which results in DNS failures (at first) and
  eventually complete loss of networking (once the DHCP lease expires).
  
  [test case]
  
  this occurs on first boot of an instance using the specific image; it is
  not reproducable using the latest ubuntu image nor any reboot of the
  affected image, and it has not been reproducable (for me) when using
  debug-enabled images based on the affected image.
  
  So, while the problem is reproducable using the specific image in
  question, it's not possible to verify the fix since any change to the
  image removes reproducability.
+ 
+ however, while the problem itself can't be reproduced and then verified,
+ if the assumption is correct (that the 'add' uevent is being missed on
+ boot), that is possible to test and verify:
+ 
+ $ udevadm info /sys/class/net/eth0 | grep ID_NET_DRIVER
+ E: ID_NET_DRIVER=hv_netvsc
+ $ sudo rm /run/udev/data/n2 
+ 
+ (note, change 'n2' to whichever network interface index is correct)
+ 
+ $ udevadm info /sys/class/net/eth0 | grep ID_NET_DRIVER
+ $ sudo udevadm trigger -c change /sys/class/net/eth0
+ $ udevadm info /sys/class/net/eth0 | grep ID_NET_DRIVER
+ 
+ (note the 'change' uevent did not populate ID_NET_DRIVER property)
+ 
+ $ sudo udevadm trigger -c add /sys/class/net/eth0
+ $ udevadm info /sys/class/net/eth0 | grep ID_NET_DRIVER
+ E: ID_NET_DRIVER=hv_netvsc
+ 
+ (note the 'add' uevent did populate ID_NET_DRIVER)
+ 
+ the test verification should result in ID_NET_DRIVER being populated for
+ a 'change' uevent.
  
  [regression potential]
  
  any regression would likely involve problems with systemd-udevd
  processing 'change' events from network devices, and/or incorrect udevd
  device properties.
  
  [scope]
  
  this is needed only for focal and groovy.
  
  this is fixed by upstream commit e0e789c1e97 which is first included in
  v247, so this is fixed already in hirsute.
  
  while this commit is not included in bionic, due to the difficult nature
  of reproducing (and verifying) this, and the fact it has only been seen
  once on a focal image, I don't think it's appropriate to SRU to bionic
  at this point; possibly it may be appropriate if this is ever reproduced
  with a bionic image.
  
  [other info]
  
  note that this bug's subject and description, as well as the upstream
  systemd bug subject and description, talk about the problem being DNS
  resolution. However that is strictly a side-effect of the real problem
  and is not the actual issue.
  
  [original description]
  
  The systemd upgrade 245.4-4ubuntu3.3 to 245.4-4ubuntu3.2 appears to have
  broken DNS resolution across much of our Azure fleet earlier today.  We
  ended up mitigating this by forcing reboots on the associated instances,
  no combination of networkctl reload, reconfigure, systemctl daemon-
  reexec, systemctl daemon-reload, netplan generate, netplan apply would
  get resolvectl to have a DNS server again.  The main symptom appears to
  have been systemd-networkd believing it wasn't managing the eth0
  interfaces:
  
  ubuntu@machine-1:~$ sudo networkctl
  IDX LINK TYPE     OPERATIONAL SETUP
    1 lo   loopback carrier     unmanaged
    2 eth0 ether    routable    unmanaged
                                                                            2 
links listed.
  
  Which eventually made them lose their DNS resolvers:
  
  ubuntu@machine-1:~$ sudo resolvectl dns
  Global:
  Link 2 (eth0):
  
  After rebooting, we see this behaving properly:
  
  ubuntu@machine-1:~$ sudo networkctl list
  IDX LINK TYPE     OPERATIONAL SETUP
    1 lo   loopback carrier     unmanaged
    2 eth0 ether    routable    configured
  
  2 links listed.
  ubuntu@machine-1:~$ sudo resolvectl dns
  Global:
  Link 2 (eth0): 168.63.129.16
  
  This appears to be specifically linked to the upgrade, i.e. we were able to 
provoke the issue by upgrading the systemd package, so I suspect it's part of 
the packaging in the upgrade process.
