This message is quite vague, is this about capture or output buffers ?
If its output buffers that don't produce capture, I don't see why they
have to be flagged as errors, or why the payload size matter. Then, if
its about assigned capture buffers that did not get used in the end, you
should put them back in the queue instead of returning them to user
space.

Returning a capture buffers to userspace should only be used if a frame
could not be produced. That imply copying the cookie timestamp from the
src buffers into the capture buffer. Please make sure you don't endup
returning fake erorrs to userspace, which may lead to some frame
metadata being dropped erroneously.
