"""
 This test aims to evaluate the netpoll polling mechanism (as in
 netpoll_poll_dev()). It presents a complex scenario where the network
 attempts to send a packet but fails, prompting it to poll the NIC from within
 the netpoll TX side.

 This has been a crucial path in netpoll that was previously untested. Jakub
 suggested using a single RX/TX queue, pushing traffic to the NIC, and then
 sending netpoll messages (via netconsole) to trigger the poll.

 In parallel, bpftrace is used to detect if netpoll_poll_dev() was called. If
 so, the test passes, otherwise it will be skipped. This test is very dependent on
 the driver and environment, given we are trying to trigger a tricky scenario.
