Previously, VF updates its link status every second by send query command to PF in periodic service task. If link stats of PF is changed, VF may need at most one second to update its link status. To reduce delay of link status between PF and VFs, PF actively push its link status to VFs when its link status is updated. And to let VF know PF supports this new feature, the link status changed mailbox command adds one bit to indicate it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
