In this loop I have:
resp = RING_GET_RESPONSE(&channel->u.req.ring, i);
and the RING_GET_RESPONSE macro is designed in the way that
it wraps around when *i* in the question gets bigger than
the ring size:

#define RING_GET_REQUEST(_r, _idx)                    \
     (&((_r)->sring->ring[((_idx) & (RING_SIZE(_r) - 1))].req))

So, even if the counter has a bogus number it will not last long
