Well, it's not with an actual physical device, but with the kvm
emulation. Printing indexes from the clean_rx handler, I'm getting:

(status linux index/total size/device index)

status 7 2/256/19
status 7 3/256/19
...
status 7 18/256/19
status 7 19/256/19
status 7 20/256/19
status 7 21/256/19
...
since the status is still 7, linux continues on.

...
status 7 254/256/19
status 7 255/256/19
status 7 0/256/19
status 7 1/256/19
status 0 2/256/19

here it stops, and on next interrupts,

status 0 2/256/20

status 0 2/256/21
etc. and no progress is made any more, until

status 0 2/256/253
status 0 2/256/254

and it gets stuck there:

status 0 2/256/254
status 0 2/256/254
status 0 2/256/254
