The current implementation of netpoll in veth devices leads to suboptimal behavior, as it triggers warnings due to the invocation of __netif_rx() within a softirq context. This is not compliant with expected practices, as __netif_rx() has the following statement: lockdep_assert_once(hardirq_count() | softirq_count()); Given that veth devices typically do not benefit from the functionalities provided by netpoll, Disable netpoll for veth interfaces.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
