Hi Maksim,

Thank you for the patch and sorry for the review delay.

Do you see the issue only if ADVERTISE_NPAGE is set? What about
ADVERTISE_LPACK ?

Could you detail a bit what you mean by link issue?

I've double checked this looking on master,
commit 87d6aab2389e ("Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost")

I inspected asix_devices.c and ax88179_178a.c and I could indeed not
find anything related to ADVERTISE_LPACK and ADVERTISE_NPAGE.

I'm not super knowledgeable on network so I'd like someone else to test
this as well, if possible.
