Those get 'reclaimed' just above this hunk:


static void remove_port_data(struct port *port)
{
	struct port_buffer *buf;

	/* Remove unused data this port might have received. */
	discard_port_data(port);

	reclaim_consumed_buffers(port);

	/* Remove buffers we queued up for the Host to send us data in. */
	while ((buf = virtqueue_detach_unused_buf(port->in_vq)))
	      free_buf(buf, true);

  ...
