We currently notify a VF of the link state after ENABLE_QUEUES, which is the last thing a VF does after being configured. Guests may not actually ENABLE_QUEUES until they get configured, and thus between driver load and device configuration the VF may show inaccurate link status. Fix this by also sending the link state after GET_VF_RESOURCES. Although we could remove the message following ENABLE_QUEUES, it's not that significant of a loss, so this patch just keeps both to ensure maximum compatibility with guests on various OSes. Specifically, without this patch guests running FreeBSD will display inaccurate link state until the device is brought up. This is mostly a cosmetic issue but can be confusing to system administrators.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
