Current code ignores link state updates if VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS was not
negotiated. However, link state updates could be received before feature
negotiation was completed , therefore causing link state events to be
lost, possibly leaving the link state down.
Modify the code so link state notifier is registered after DRIVER_OK was
negotiated and carry the registration only if
VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS was negotiated. Unregister the notifier when the
device is reset.

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.
