Dear Sir.
I want to rename "eth0.0.10" to "LAN0" in kernel space.
"eth0.0.10" is vlan interface.
It is possible use the net/core/dev.c::dev_change_name()
Code:
struct net_device *dev = dev_get_byname(&init_net, "eth0.0.10");
dev_change_name(dev, "LAN0");
can rename "eth0.0.10" to "LAN0",
But occured the some Warning message. see below
Code:

Are you have a another way to rename ethernet interface name???
Thank you.
