So I have been working on trying to address this comment and maintain 
parity with the existing support provided by this series but looks like 
I might be missing something which is causing some regressions.

I am facing an issue with zero copy Rx, where there is some active 
traffic being received by the DUT (running in copy mode - default state)
and I switch to zero copy mode using AF-XDP_example [1], I am not able 
to receive any packets because I observe that the napi_rx_poll is not 
getting scheduled for whatever reason, ending up draining the rx 
descriptors and leading to memory leak. But if I first switch from copy 
to zero copy mode and then try sending traffic I am able to receive 
traffic on long runs without any failure or crash. I am not able to 
figure out why is this happening, so sharing my changes [2] on top of 
this series, which I made to address your comment. I am wondering if you 
could have a look and give me some pointers here. Thank you.
