Public bug reported:

The linuxbridge agent creates a linux vlan-device for each openstack vlan network that has been defined. Therefore the code uses the following naming scheme : <eth-dev-name>.<vlan-id>
Example: eth-dev-name: eth0, vlan-id: 1000 --> eth0.1000

This works fine, if eth-dev-name is a short name like "eth0". If there
is a long device name (e.g. long-device-name) this will cause trouble,
as the vlan device name "long-device-name.1000" exceeds the max length
of a linux network device, which is 15 chars.

Today the linuxbridge agent fails with

Command: ['ip', 'link', 'add', 'link', 'too_long_name', 'name', 'too_long_name.1007', 'type', 'vlan', 'id', 1007]
Exit code: 255
Stderr: Error: argument "too_long_name.1007" is wrong: "name" too long

The same problem needs to be solved for the new macvtap agent that is
currently under development [1] as well
