//! `SmoltcpBackend` — libkrun [`NetBackend`] implementation that bridges the
//! NetWorker thread to the smoltcp poll thread via lock-free queues.
//!
//! The NetWorker calls [`write_frame()`](NetBackend::write_frame) when the
//! guest sends a frame and [`read_frame()`](NetBackend::read_frame) to deliver
//! frames back to the guest. Frames flow through [`SharedState`]'s
//! `tx_ring`/`rx_ring` queues with [`WakePipe`](crate::shared::WakePipe)
//! notifications.

///
/// - **TX path** (`write_frame`): strips the virtio-net header, pushes the
///   ethernet frame to `tx_ring`, wakes the smoltcp poll thread.
/// - **RX path** (`read_frame`): pops a frame from `rx_ring`, prepends a
///   zeroed virtio-net header for the guest.
/// - **Wake fd** (`raw_socket_fd`): returns `rx_wake`'s read end so the
///   NetWorker's epoll can detect new frames.
