The linkwatch_event work queue runs up to one second later. When the MicroVM starts, it takes 300+ms for the ethX flag to change from '+UP +LOWER_UP' to '+RUNNING', as follows: Jul 20 22:00:47.432552 systemd-networkd[210]: eth0: bringing link up ... Jul 20 22:00:47.446108 systemd-networkd[210]: eth0: flags change: +UP +LOWER_UP ... Jul 20 22:00:47.781463 systemd-networkd[210]: eth0: flags change: +RUNNING
Let's manually trigger it here to make the network service start faster. After applying this patch, the time consumption of systemd-networkd.service was reduced from 366ms to 50ms.
