An MTU shrink\ncan expose the new smaller rbuff with the old larger bound, causing an\nout-of-bounds write. A receive callback which already loaded the old\nrbuff can instead continue writing after that buffer has been freed.\n\nSerialize receive processing with sl_realloc_bufs() by holding sl->lock\nwhile
