Consider the case that driver adds 3 buffer and virtqueue size is 8. a) id = 0,count = 2,next_avail = 2 b) id = 2,count = 4,next_avail = 2 c) id = 4,count = 2,next_avail = 0 if packet b is done before packet a, driver may think buffer id 0 is available and try to use it if even if the real buffer 0 was not done.
