We haven't made any such promises -- only that we've buffered the data.
Just like any write urb can be cancelled at close / shutdown before
having been transmitted.

The user needs to use closing_wait or drain_delay to give the buffers a
chance to empty. If not used at all, or we get a time out, then the data
should be discarded.
