This is not something you want as most drivers reclaim buffers in 
batches for performance reasons. If you want to ensure a buffer is 
reclaimed right away you would need to do some garbage collection. Most 
NICs do not even ring a doorbell/update completion flags for every 
transmitted packets, so you would not know when they're sent exactly 
right away.

If it's lazy re-claim, I guess it's not a problem?
