From 85520856466ed6bc3b1ccb013cddac70ceb437db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haiyang Zhang haiyangz@microsoft.com Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2023 08:23:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: Fix race of register_netdevice_notifier and VF register
If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed, but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.
Move register_netdevice_notifier() earlier, so the call back function is set before probing.
