On GCC 15 the following warnings is emitted:
nolibc-test.c: In function ‘run_stdlib’:
nolibc-test.c:1416:32: warning: initializer-string for array of ‘char’ truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks ‘nonstring’ attribute (11 chars into 10 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
1416 | char buf[10] = "test123456";
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Increase the size of buf to avoid the warning.
It would also be possible to use __attribute__((nonstring)) but that
would require some ifdeffery to work with older compilers.

Hi,
I noticed this was causing some noise in my git checkout, but perhaps I was
doing something odd that it has not been noticed before?

Alex posted support for configuring pause frames in fbnic. This flipped
the pause stats test from xfail to fail. Because CI considered xfail as
pass it now flags the test as failing. This shouldn't happen. Also we
currently report pause and FEC tests as passing on virtio which doesn't
make sense.

Remove `use core::ffi::c_void`, which shadows `kernel::ffi::c_void`
brought in via `use crate::prelude::*`, to maintain consistency and
centralize the abstraction.
Since `kernel::ffi::c_void` is a straightforward re-export of
`core::ffi::c_void`, both are functionally equivalent. However, using
`kernel::ffi::c_void` improves consistency across the kernel's Rust code
and provides a unified reference point in case the definition ever needs
to change, even if such a change is unlikely.

Add a basic selftest for the netpoll polling mechanism, specifically
targeting the netpoll poll() side.
The test creates a scenario where network transmission is running at
maximum sppend, and netpoll needs to poll the NIC. This is achieved by:
1. Configuring a single RX/TX queue to create contention
2. Generating background traffic to saturate the interface
3. Sending netconsole messages to trigger netpoll polling
4. Using dynamic netconsole targets via configfs
The test validates a critical netpoll code path by monitoring traffic
flow and ensuring netpoll_poll_dev() is called when the normal TX path
is blocked. Perf probing confirms this test successfully triggers
netpoll_poll_dev() in typical test runs.
This addresses a gap in netpoll test coverage for a path that is
tricky for the network stack.
