Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for the patch.

Ignoring the error is scary. If we limited the total number of buffers
as proposed in the review of 2/4, the error wouldn't occur.

I'm also wondering if it wouldn't be better to use the IDA API to
allocate IDs, and possibly the IDR API as well to replace the list.
