I am asks this questions becaus in may case don't see automatic txsync
on poll:
device open as
np->nr_ringid = NETMAP_DO_RX_POLL;
np->nr_flags = NR_REG_ALL_NIC;
rc = ioctl(balancer.inside.fd, NIOCREGIF, np);
poll do as
pollfd[1].fd = thr->inside.fd; pollfd[1].events |= POLLIN;
poll(pollfd, nfd, 1000);
and I don't see output sysncing w/o pollfd[1].events |= POLLIN | POLLOUT;
Only one round packet outputs I see and no slot updates.
