Docker persistent MAC address generation problem

When I was try start 150+ docker containers with docker-compose I found strange problem: "Could not generate persistent MAC address"

?

1	Could not generate persistent MAC address for veth: No such file or directory

After long googling and research I found lot of simillar issues..., same problem became in many virtualization systems like Docker, KVM... Than I found root cause of problem, too fast actions in linux network stack. So, lot of workarounds, like sleep on network subsystem action (Not help)

?

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/01-net-setup-link.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add|change", ENV{INTERFACE}=="br-*", PROGRAM="/bin/sleep 10" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add|change", ENV{INTERFACE}=="docker[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/bin/sleep 10"

pre-generate MAC addresses in docker-compose.yml. (Not help and not work at all...)

services:  test:   image: busybox   command: sleep 3600   mac_address: 00:18:8B:0D:4F:0B   networks:   - hello

or rebuild linux modules or docker with patches... (I don't think is a good idea.)

From my point of view much better implement slow-start for docker compose service and roll back after official fix.
