Under extreme conditions this might cause data corruptions. By doing that we we repost the buffer and then post this buffer for the device to send. If we happen to use shared receive queues the device might write to the buffer before it sends it (there is no ordering between send and recv queues). Without SRQs we probably won't get that if the host doesn't mis-behave and send more than we allowed it, but relying on that is not really a good idea.
